Show HN: Verbs – pixel-art loops for each of Claude Code's 188 spinner verbs

Developer Ollie Wagner released Verbs, an unofficial Claude Code plugin that plays a looping pixel-art animation for each of the 188 verbs shown in the coding agent's spinner while it works. The mod installs via `claude plugin marketplace add olliewagner/verbs` and `claude plugin install verbs@verbs`, and adds slash commands including `/verb <name>` to play a single verb, `/verbs` to play all 188, `/verbs small|medium|large` to set size, and `/verbs off` and `/verbs on` to toggle the animation. Wagner states the plugin is not affiliated with Anthropic.

Verbs is a mod for Claude Code that plays a looping pixel-art picture of each of the 188 verbs its spinner shows while Claude works.

Install #

claude plugin install verbs@verbs

Then restart Claude Code. The picture plays above the spinner from the next session’s first prompt.

Use #

  • /verb <name> plays one verb;/verb alone picks one at random.
  • /verbs plays all 188.
  • /verbs small ,/verbs medium or/verbs large sets the size;/verbs off and/verbs on turn the picture above the spinner off and on.
