⚡ ClaudeXP

Turn every Claude Code session into XP. Level up, unlock achievements, and climb the global leaderboard.

Every time you end a Claude Code session, a Stop hook scores what you actually did — tool uses, files edited, bug fixes, features shipped — and a framed overlay pops up right in your terminal showing the XP you earned.

Your totals sync to a shared cloud leaderboard so you can see how you stack up against everyone else running ClaudeXP. Nobody's watching you work. Nobody asked you to. It just makes closing /exit feel like finishing a raid.

Install

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvanPaules/ClaudeXP/main/install.ps1 | iex

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvanPaules/ClaudeXP/main/install.sh | bash

That's it. The installer:

1. Checks you have Node 18+.
2. Runs npm install -g claudexp.
3. Drops the Stop hook into ~/.claude/settings.json (safe JSON merge — nothing else gets touched).
4. Claims your username on the community leaderboard.
5. You're in.

End your next Claude Code session and the overlay pops up.

npm install -g claudexp
claudexp setup

git clone https://github.com/EvanPaules/ClaudeXP
cd ClaudeXP
npm install
npm link
claudexp setup

How XP works

ClaudeXP parses your session transcript (JSONL from Claude Code) and counts tool calls, unique file paths touched, and scans assistant responses for fix, bug, feature, implement, refactor — so a quick chat nets ~25 XP, a focused hour-long feature push can clear 300+.

The ladder

Fifteen tiers from total noob to legend. XP is cumulative.

Achievements

Eight trophies. Earned permanently once unlocked.

• 🩸 First Blood — complete your first session
• 🔥 On a Roll — 7-day coding streak
• 🧠 Deep Diver — 30+ tool uses in a single session
• 🐛 Bug Slayer — 10 bug-fix sessions total
• 🚀 Ship It — 10 feature sessions total
• 💯 Century — 100 total sessions
• 💰 XP Millionaire — reach 10,000 total XP
• 👑 Legendary — reach level 15

Commands

The leaderboard

Everyone running ClaudeXP lands on the same board. Your row updates every time you end a session.

How is this safe?

The community backend is a public Supabase project with row-level security. Anyone with the (public) anon key can:

• read any row (it's a leaderboard — that's the point)
• insert a new username (first come, first serve)
• update / delete only their own row

Each client generates a random 48-char owner token on first setup and stores it in ~/.claudexp/config.json (chmod 600). Every update request sends an x-claudexp-owner-token header; RLS only lets the write through if it matches the token stored on your row. Tokens can't be scraped either — the owner_token column is hidden from anon reads via column-level grants.

TL;DR: if someone else claims your username first, pick another. If you lose your owner token you lose the ability to update that row — delete it from a machine that still has the token, or re-claim a fresh name.

Running your own community

Want a private ClaudeXP for your team, company, or Discord?

1. Fork this repo.
2. Create a Supabase project (free tier handles hundreds of players).
3. Run the schema. Supabase → SQL Editor → paste cloud_schema.sql → Run.
4. Bake in your credentials. Clone your fork, then claudexp set-community — paste your project URL and anon public key. That writes community.json.
5. Commit & push. Anyone who installs from your fork auto-joins your board.

Tweak engine.js (scoring), levels.js (titles / curve), achievements.js (trophies) — make it yours.

How the hook actually works

Claude Code fires a Stop hook at the end of each response cycle. hook.js:

1. Reads the JSON payload from stdin (session_id, transcript_path, …).
2. Parses the JSONL transcript, counting tool uses + unique files + scanning for fix / feature / refactor keywords.
3. Scores the session (engine.js) and writes a row to ~/.claudexp/data.db (SQLite, synchronous — committed before you see the overlay).
4. Checks the 8 achievements for anything newly unlocked.
5. Prints the framed overlay to stderr so it appears in your terminal without interfering with Claude Code's stdout.
6. PATCHes your Supabase row with the owner token (3-second timeout; next session retries cumulative).

All in under a second. Close the terminal right after — your XP is already persisted.

Stack

• Node ≥ 18, ESM
• better-sqlite3 for the local DB
• chalk for color
• commander for the CLI
• Supabase + PostgREST via native fetch (no SDK)

Three dependencies. That's it.

Data location

Uninstall

claudexp hook uninstall        # remove the Stop hook entry
claudexp cloud delete          # drop your cloud profile
npm uninstall -g claudexp      # remove the binary
rm -rf ~/.claudexp              # wipe local data

Contributing

PRs welcome, especially for:

• More achievements (the more ridiculous, the better)
• Better keyword detection in the transcript parser
• Cross-platform bug reports (Windows quirks especially)
• A proper plugin form if/when Claude Code ships one

Open an issue before anything non-trivial. Keep dependencies at zero if humanly possible.
