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.

**Try it instantly:**
