- For
- Claude Code users waiting on agent tasks
- Worth noticing
- Its completion notification uses a Claude Code Stop hook, a personal bearer token, and a tab that must stay open.
Field notes
The page lays out three game formats with separate mechanics: a five-hole daily regex challenge, a faster-of-two comparison with a streak, and bug spotting against a 20-second timer. Its notification instructions show a Stop hook posting a bearer-token-authenticated request to /api/done, and specify that the browser tab must remain open. Social activity, clips, and payment interactions are identified as simulated, so those parts should not be read as evidence of an active player community.
