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.\n\nEvery run ends with the same honest tally:\n\n```\n0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n```\n\nPerfect for looking busy on a screen share or impressing someone walking past your desk.\n\n**Try it instantly:**\n\n```\nuvx claude-nothing\n```\n\nBuilt in Python with Textual, MIT licensed.
