Change Claude Code spinner verbs with themed word sets

Package Exports

  • claude-verbs
  • claude-verbs/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (claude-verbs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

claude-verbs

Replace Claude Code's thinking verbs with Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Battlestar Galactica, Project Hail Mary, and more.

claude-verbs demo

Works with both Claude Code CLI and the VSCode Claude extension. Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Usage

🚀 Just run this command:

npx claude-verbs

A menu will open — use arrow keys to pick a theme and press Enter.

claude-verbs menu

✅ That's it.

Optionally, use CLI commands directly:

npx claude-verbs list              # List available themes
npx claude-verbs use <theme>       # Apply a theme
npx claude-verbs reset             # Reset to Claude Code defaults
npx claude-verbs current           # Show currently applied verbs

Themes

id name sample
lotr Lord of the Rings "🌿 Waiting for the Ents to decide"
sw Star Wars "✨ May the tokens be with you"
dune Dune "🏜️ Tokens must flow"
matrix Matrix "📞 Looking for an exit"
bb Breaking Bad "🧪 99.1% pure coverage"
got Game of Thrones "🗡️ What do we say to PO? Not today."
br Blade Runner "🌧️ All those prompts lost in time... like tears in rain"
phm Project Hail Mary "❓ Question?"
bsg Battlestar Galactica "💃🏼 Hallucinating the Six"

How it works

Claude Code reads spinner verbs from ~/.claude/settings.json. The VSCode Claude extension reads them from your VS Code settings.json under claudeCode.spinnerVerbs.

When you apply a theme, claude-verbs updates both:

  • ~/.claude/settings.json → spinnerVerbs (CLI)
  • ~/AppData/Roaming/Code/User/settings.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json (macOS) → claudeCode.spinnerVerbs (VSCode extension)

reset restores both to their defaults.

Uninstall

npx claude-verbs reset
npm uninstall -g claude-verbs

Contributors

Thanks to Markus Erwee for contributing the Project Hail Mary theme!

Contributions are welcome — feel free to open a PR with your own theme.

claudefx — add retro sound effects (Age of Empires, Warcraft, Starcraft, and more) to Claude Code's hooks. If claude-verbs changes what Claude says while thinking, claudefx changes what it sounds like. Highly recommended, give it a try!
