pixel-pet
A herd of pixel-art pets in the band above the prompt: they cheer when a turn ends, grow rounder as the context fills, sleep under a futon once the prompt cache goes cold, and a beckoning figurine offers /compact. A switch flips back to th…
What it does
- Draws a band above the prompt, toasts
- Adds /pet, /compact, /clear
- Hooks engine.create, prompt.submit, session.start, turn.complete
- Keeps its own state between turns
- Starts processes
Good points
- No network calls
- Written in TypeScript
- Has a desktop-specific branch
- Handles errors

// Each value below stands for one the mod works out at run time; put in your own.

This is a reading of the code text, not a security review: it does not run the mod, and it cannot see what a program the mod starts does. The check before installing is yours. How mods are chosen
Install it
Check it yourself before you install it. Mods run unsandboxed, with your permissions, and ModsCode does not vouch for what this code does. Read its code (or run claude plugin validate . in its folder), weigh what it reaches, and install the commit you read.
From its marketplace
Its repository is its marketplace. Add that marketplace (in the terminal with these commands, or in the desktop app's plugin settings) and install the mod from it:
/plugin marketplace add GoatEatAny/cc-desktop-statusline/plugin install pixel-pet@cc-desktop-statusline/reload-pluginsThis installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (925fd5ac947b). Compare them before you install. /reload-plugins loads it into a session that is already open.
Try the commit ModsCode read
No marketplace needed. In a terminal, clone the repository, check out the commit read, validate the mod, and load it for one session:
git clone https://github.com/GoatEatAny/cc-desktop-statuslinegit -C cc-desktop-statusline checkout 925fd5ac947baceaef35ba48af8aa63eb0b20b60claude plugin validate cc-desktop-statusline/plugins/pixel-petclaude --plugin-dir cc-desktop-statusline/plugins/pixel-petThe validate line lists the events the mod hooks and what it asks Claude Code to do, without running it. The last line loads the mod for this session only and writes nothing to your settings. If the author has rewritten history, the commit may no longer exist.
Ask Claude or ChatGPT about it
With ModsCode added as a connector, Claude or ChatGPT can read this mod's code, what it reaches and how its controls are wired, and build on them. Ask it like this:
