Claude-Nothing: A Claude Code cosplay that does absolutely nothing

I made a satirical CLI tool: a fake Claude Code terminal session that looks incredibly productive but touches zero bytes on disk. It reads files that don’t exist, edits code that isn’t there, spins up subagents to look extra busy, watches a test fail dramatically, “fixes” it heroically, and finishes all green.

Every run ends with the same honest tally:

0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

Perfect for looking busy on a screen share or impressing someone walking past your desk.
