medium-hike

A Claude Code plugin that shows MEDIUM HIKE snaking across the top of your terminal while Claude is thinking.

Install

Option A: Direct from GitHub

/plugin marketplace add collegevine/claudium-hike
/plugin install claudium-hike@claudium-hike

Option B: Local testing

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/medium-hike-plugin

How it works

• UserPromptSubmit hook launches an animation in the background
• Stop hook kills it when Claude finishes responding
• The animation writes directly to /dev/tty using ANSI escape codes, bouncing bold magenta text horizontally across row 1

Caveats

Writing to /dev/tty during Claude Code's rendering is inherently hacky and may cause visual glitches. Adjust row or sleep in hooks/snake.sh to taste.
