Customize Claude Code's spinner verbs with themed quotes (LOTR, Star Wars, GoT, Matrix, Dune...)

Source: Dev.to

Claude Code shows a spinner while thinking. By default it says things like “Thinking…”, “Processing…”. Boring.

So I made a small CLI tool to replace them with themed quotes.

Usage

npx claude-verbs

Pick a theme, and you’re done. Works with both Claude Code CLI and the VSCode extension.

Themes

• Star Wars – “May the tokens be with you”
• LOTR – “Consulting the elves”
• Dune – “Tokens must flow”
• Matrix – “Downloading kung fu”
• Breaking Bad – “99.1% pure coverage”
• Game of Thrones – “What do we say to PO? Not today.”

Why

Because if you’re going to stare at a spinner all day, it might as well make you smile. :)
