Half of Claude Code is waiting. claudemon makes that time a game: your prompts are steps through the grass, every 20s of work another step. Something jumps out, the status line says so, you fight it in a second terminal tab. All 151, fully local, no account.

The thing that makes this work is that the game only advances while Claude does, which is also the trap. You're paying people in Pokémon for waiting, so a run that spins for 20 minutes and produces nothing still feels great. I'd tie the encounter to exit code rather than elapsed time. Then a failed run costs you the catch, and you've accidentally built the only test result anyone would actually watch for.

@asadmalik901 Good idea, thanks! The idea is that several encounters can happen per agent run so that if the run is very long, people don't get bored with just waiting for one battle while Claude Code finishes to find out if it was caught or not
