Good to know (3)

Pixel images need kitty, Ghostty or iTerm2; iTerm2 also needs CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_TERMINAL_IMAGES set to 1.
With both meters empty for 3 hours of open time it faints, then runs away after 24 more unless revived.
No mon shows in the VS Code extension or the mobile app, which have no band to draw in.

How it works

Pick a starter with /pokemon charmander, and it lives in the band above the prompt
Watches tool calls, subagent spawns and turn ends, showing each one in its bubble
Each subagent drops a Poké Ball, and a mon from your box steps out to work beside yours
Answered turns earn XP to level up and evolve, while food and happiness slowly drain

Common questions

Can I have a pet in Claude Code?

This mod puts a pixel Pokémon above the prompt in the terminal or the Desktop app's Code tab. You start with Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle or Pikachu, feed it with /pokemon feed, pet it with /pokemon pet, and catch the others in the wild with /pokemon catch.

Why does my terminal show boxes instead of the Pokémon?

Run /pokemon images off to draw the band in half blocks and text instead of pixel images. The default, auto, uses images only in kitty, Ghostty and iTerm2 builds that draw them.

How do I collapse the band above the Claude Code prompt?

Ctrl+X Ctrl+A collapses or expands the band. The README notes it is Claude Code's own binding.
