Dev-Mochi - I replaced my Claude Code pet with my actual project

# dev-mochi: The project IS the pet. I replaced my Claude Code virtual pet with my actual project architecture. \*TL;DR:** A high-compression status line for Claude Code that replaces pixel-pet animations with your project's mission, roadmap, and SitRep. One JSON config file anchors every agent (and you) to the objective.* \*Zero dependencies. Zero token cost. 100% Signal.*** \*GitHub:** [https://github.com/midnightnow/dev-mochi\](https://github.com/midnightnow/dev-mochi)* --- ## The Problem: "Amnesiac Drift" I tried the Tamagotchi-style status lines. They’re cute, but they have a fatal flaw: they waste screen real estate on entertainment. Every time I started a new session or spawned a worktree agent, the AI was an amnesiac. It would drift, ask clarifying questions I’d answered yesterday, and re-read files it already understood. Meanwhile, my status line was busy telling me my pixel crab was "feeling sassy." The status line is \*free screen real estate**. It doesn't consume your context window or burn API tokens. Why use it for a pet when you could use it to anchor the AI's logic?* ## The Solution: dev-mochi `dev-mochi` turns your project into the "beast." You feed it commits instead of kibble. ### 1. Drop a `.devmochi.json` in your root: ```json { "name": "YOUR-PROJECT", "mission": "What you're building right now", "pitch": "Why this matters in one sentence", "vision": "The 10-year North Star", "moonshot": "The 10x radical outcome", "sit_rep": "Broken/Working/Momentum status", "roadmap": ["Epoch 1: Purified", "Epoch 2: Anchored"], "next_steps": ["Deploy sentinel", "Audit residue"], "tracker": [ { "label": "Auth", "status": "done" }, { "label": "Payments", "status": "active" } ] } ``` ### 2. The Manifold View (6 Lines of Truth) The status line renders a dense, high-signal HUD: ```text ◆ YOUR-PROJECT · Build revenue-grade voice agents │ staging → aiva.help ⎇ main\ │ Opus 4.6 (1M context) │ ━━━─────────── 19%* 5h ◆◆◆◆◆◇◇◇◇◇ 50% 6m→13:36 │ 7d ◆◆◆◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ 33% │ +317/-173 ↓30.4K↑100.0K ■ Auth ▶ Payments □ Deploy SIT REP │ Payment webhook is unstable; momentum in provisioning Node.js · Claude API │ The project IS the beast. Feed it commits. ``` Line 5 \*rotates every 6 seconds** through your full project context: **Mission → Pitch → Vision → Moonshot → Roadmap → Next Steps → Sit Rep.** The AI always has the "War Room" view without you burning input tokens to remind it where you are.* --- ## The Moonshot Protocol (MP-1) This isn't just a UI tweak; it’s a strategic framework. `dev-mochi` enforces the \*Moonshot Protocol**, a 10-field rubric that forces you to articulate exactly what the "Beast" is:* 1. \*Vision:** The 10-year state of the world after you win.* 2. \*Mission:** The unsexy engineering lever you’re pulling today.* 3. \*Pitch:** High-compression signal to lock the agent's focus.* 4. \*Roadmap:** Verifiable Epochs (state changes), not dates.* 5. \*Moonshot:** The $10\times$ goal that requires non-linear moves.* 6. \*Low-Hanging Fruit:** Immediate gaps requiring zero "trying"—just execution.* 7. \*Quick Wins:** High-visibility victories possible in 24 hours.* 8. \*Next Steps:** The immediate technical sequence.* 9. \*Current Project:** Name and scope.* 10. \*Sit Rep:** Honest, real-time status of the momentum.* --- ## Why Not a Pet? \ **No Noise:** Pet animations and personality quips distract from the engineering flow.* \ **Focus:** XP systems gamify the wrong thing. Product progress is the only metric that matters.* \ **Utility:** A pet doesn't help an agent make better architectural decisions. A **Sit Rep** does.* --- ## Technical Specs \ **Zero Dependencies:** Written in pure Node.js stdlib. No `npm install`, no supply-chain risk.* \ **Lightweight:** `<5ms` render time. It reads JSON and writes ANSI. That’s it.* \ **Deep Walking:** Automatically walks up 10 directory levels to find your config—works perfectly in complex worktrees.* \ **Multi-Agent Ready:** Symlink `.devmochi.json` across projects so every sub-agent inherits the same "One Truth."* ## Install (30 Seconds) 1. \*Clone the engine:*** ```bash git clone https://github.com/midnightnow/dev-mochi.git ~/.claude/dev-mochi ``` 2. \*Update `~/.claude/settings.json`:*** ```json { "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "node ~/.claude/dev-mochi/statusline.js", "refreshInterval": 6 } } ``` 3. \*Feed the beast:** Drop a `.devmochi.json` in your root and watch the amnesia disappear.* --- \Inspired by [claude-code-tamagotchi](https://github.com/Ido-Levi/claude-code-tamagotchi) and [tokburn](https://github.com/nicholasgriffintn/tokburn). We just took the opposite approach: The product is the creature. Feed it commits.** submitted by /u/elchemy [link] [comments]
