⚡ 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

Requires Node 18+.

npm install -g claudexp
claudexp setup

claudexp setup drops the Stop hook into ~/.claude/settings.json (safe JSON merge — nothing else gets touched) and claims your username on the community leaderboard.

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

git clone https://github.com/EvanPaules/ClaudeXP
cd ClaudeXP

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

Daily Quests

One quest per day, seeded from the UTC date — so everyone running ClaudeXP worldwide gets the same challenge. Complete it inside a single session and your overlay gets +150 XP tagged Daily quest: "<label>" ✓.

Run claudexp quest to see today's challenge and plan around it. Examples:

• Use 3+ different tool types
• Edit a test file
• Run a shell command
• Touch 5+ files in a single session
• Work past local midnight

The bonus caps at one award per UTC day per user — extra quest-completing sessions the same day still earn their normal session XP, they just don't stack the +150.

Resets at 00:00 UTC.

Loot titles

Every session has a 2% chance to drop a random title from the loot pool (Coffee-Fueled, Regex Wizard, Merge Monster, …). Titles last 24 hours and decorate your row on the leaderboard:

#1    dan ← (Regex Wizard)    7 Pull Request Pro   14,321   47

Check what you're currently wearing — or confirm the dry spell — with:

claudexp title

Titles re-roll each session, so a lucky drop overwrites the previous one. If you've already got a title, a non-drop session just keeps it until it expires.

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. If you're already running a prior version, apply migrations in order from migrations/ (each is idempotent).
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.
