Show HN: Terminal Gym – a Claude mod that makes you do pushups between prompts

Developer DrumAndCode released Terminal Gym, an open-source Claude Code mod that assigns a daily goal of squats, pushups, or dips and blocks prompts in opt-in strict mode until the user logs reps. The mod spreads set reminders across the day starting from the user's first prompt, stores data as plain files in ~/.claude/fitness, and installs via the Claude plugin marketplace commands "claude plugin marketplace add DrumAndCode/terminal-gym" and "claude plugin install terminal-gym@terminal-gym". The release follows Claude Code shipping mods this week.

Hi HN, I built this for myself and wanted to open-source it. The problem: I wanted a way to get reminders in-between prompts as I often spend long hours in the terminal, especially now that we're usually parallel-processing so many agents. The first version was a simple rep counter in my Claude Code status line and a shell script to log reps. Since Claude Code shipped mods this week, I thought this was a good way to level it up with even more accountability. How it works: 1. Every day, you get a daily goal for either squats, pushups, or dips e.g. 0/100 pushups with +5 / +10 / +25 buttons to log a set in the terminal. 2. Reminders for sets are spread out across the day so it doesn't get annoying, starting from your first prompt for the day. A toast tells you when the next set is due. 3. Strict mode is opt-in: if you're falling behind in terms of your daily rep goal, it will block your prompts till you log some reps. Added a streak counter for some added fun. All local and data is stored as plain files in ~/.claude/fitness. Install: claude plugin marketplace add DrumAndCode/terminal-gym && claude plugin install terminal-gym@terminal-gym Overall, thought the mod API is super powerful and can't wait to see the stuff people build with it. Eg: I built a clickable onboarding process inside the terminal, and that felt quite powerful to use. Now you can enjoy spending both tokens and calories. : Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49945600 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49945600 Points: 1 Comments: 0
