What is aemeath_withclaude?

This project is a fan made desktop companion character that reacts in real time to whatever the Claude Code AI assistant is doing. When Claude reads a file, the animated character runs, when it writes code, the character enters a building animation, when it finishes a task, the character celebrates. The idea is to give AI coding sessions a lively visual companion sitting on your desktop. The pet is built as a Tauri desktop application, which packages a Rust backend and a web based front end into a native Windows app. The character sprite is pixel art based on a character from the game Wuthering Waves, reused under an MIT licensed asset source, the project notes it is a fan made pet, not an official game or Wuthering Waves product. Two local servers run in the background: one on port 9527 receives HTTP hook notifications from Claude Code each time it takes an action, and another on port 9528 handles richer two way communication through the MCP protocol. A Rust state machine translates these signals into one of 15 animation states and shows them through a transparent, always on top, draggable window with no title bar. The app also lives in the system tray, and the character waves and shows a speech bubble when Claude Code needs your permission for something. This is aimed at developers who use Claude Code and want a playful, animated status indicator that shows at a glance what the AI is currently doing. It requires Windows 10 or later, plus a Rust toolchain and Node.js if you want to build it from source rather than use the packaged release.
