"8 hours a day in front of a screen, fixing tickets and bugs some dev before me shipped using an older version of Claude... meanwhile outside the sun is out, people are socializing, living to the rhythm of nature. Is this what I imagined for myself?"
Post by @ferdinandobons, 🤔 existential, 37m ago.
Coding with an AI agent makes you faster. It also makes you lonely. No coworker to mutter "what the hell is this" at. No Slack channel for "git push --force at 23:47, please send help." Just you and the agent, all day, every day.
WAYD is a 30-second social break that lives inside your AI agent. Type /wayd, share a one-line vibe about your coding day, scroll a random feed of what other devs are stuck on right now, react with an emoji, drop a reply, get back to work.
It runs entirely on GitHub Issues. No server, no database, no signup. Just posts and people.
Because programming alone in front of an AI agent is a weirdly lonely experience, and "what are you doing right now?" is a question that connects strangers faster than any feature request ever could. WAYD is for the 4-minute stretch where you're staring at a failing test and want to know that someone, somewhere, is also losing their mind over a Promise<Promise<Array<any>>>.
You install the skill into your AI coding agent. From then on:
You: /wayd
WAYD: 👋 Welcome back. You have 2 new replies on a post.

Looking at a doStuff() method that's 800 lines long,
written by me 6 months ago. Who is that idiot?

That's the whole loop: post → scroll → react/reply → repeat.
| Vibe | Captures | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 🤡 cursed-code | "this code is an abomination" | "My colleague wrote a 800-line method called doStuff(). Today I inherit it." |
| 🪦 rip-me | "something died, possibly me" | "git push --force on main at 23:47, please send help" |
| 🫠 brain-melt | "my brain is leaking" | "I've stared at 3 files for 10 minutes and I don't remember what language this is" |
| 🧙 dark-arts | "I solved it with evil" | "Bug fixed with setTimeout(fn, 100). Don't ask. Don't touch. It works." |
| 🔥 hot-take | "opinion that will start a war" | "If you use spaces instead of tabs you are a terrible person and you should question yourself" |
| 💭 shower-thought | "random thought" | "We don't create bugs. We reveal them. They already exist in the universe: we just interpret them." |
| 🤔 existential | "is this the life I wanted?" | "I pay my mortgage by moving JSON from one endpoint to another. Is this what my grandfather imagined for me?" |
| ☕ procrastinating | "I should be working" | "14 tickets in backlog. Reading WAYD instead. Send help. No actually send another post." |
You pick one when you compose. It shows on your post and lets others filter the scroll by mood.
claude plugin marketplace add ferdinandobons/wayd
claude plugin install wayd@waydnpx skills add ferdinandobons/waydgit clone https://github.com/ferdinandobons/wayd.git
cp -r wayd/wayd ~/.claude/skills/git submodule add https://github.com/ferdinandobons/wayd.git .agents/wayd-repo
ln -s wayd-repo/wayd .agents/waydThe submodule clones the full repo, but your agent expects the skill at .agents/wayd/SKILL.md, not nested at .agents/wayd-repo/wayd/SKILL.md. The symlink fixes that. (If your tooling doesn't follow symlinks inside .agents/, use cp -r .agents/wayd-repo/wayd .agents/wayd instead and remember to cp again after each submodule update.)
npx skillkit install ferdinandobons/waydDownload the latest .skill file from the Releases page and upload it in Settings → Skills.
Claude Code Plugin:
claude plugin update wayd@waydIf the update doesn't pick up new changes, refresh the marketplace source and reinstall:
claude plugin uninstall wayd@wayd claude plugin marketplace remove wayd claude plugin marketplace add ferdinandobons/wayd claude plugin install wayd@wayd
CLI / SkillKit: re-run the install command: it overwrites the previous version.
Git Submodule:
git submodule update --remote .agents/wayd-repo(If you used cp -r instead of the symlink, re-copy: cp -r .agents/wayd-repo/wayd .agents/wayd.)

The first time you invoke WAYD it'll walk you through a 30-second setup:
- Check
ghCLI is installed and authenticated. If not, you'll get clear copy-pasteable instructions. - Cache your GitHub handle locally so WAYD knows who you are.
- Accept the Code of Conduct (one time, ever).
- Optionally add
ghto your Bash allowlist so you don't get prompted before every action.
Then you're in. No tokens, no signup, no email confirmations.
You can use slash commands or natural language, WAYD understands both.
| What you want to do | Try saying |
|---|---|
| Open WAYD | /wayd, "open wayd" |
| Post a vibe | /wayd post, "I want to post a rant" |
| Scroll the feed | /wayd scroll, "let me scroll" |
| Filter by vibe | /wayd scroll cursed-code, "show me hot takes" |
| Check your replies | /wayd inbox, "any new replies?" |
| Delete a post (your own) | /wayd delete (while it's visible) |
| Block someone | /wayd block @user |
| Unblock someone | /wayd unblock @user |
| Get help | /wayd help, "what can I do?" |
| Quit | q, "bye" |
While scrolling, you can n (next), tap an emoji to react, c: <text> to comment, t to open the thread, or q to quit.
- Identity: WAYD uses your real GitHub username. It's the same handle that appears on issues and comments: there's no separate WAYD account.
- Local state: WAYD stores small files in
~/.claude/skills/wayd/data/(your GitHub username, your block list, scroll history, last-check timestamps). Never committed, never sent anywhere. - What's public: every post and comment you make is a public GitHub issue/comment on this repo. Treat WAYD as a public square: assume your boss could read it.
- Deletion:
/wayd deletemarks your post as[deleted by author]and locks the thread. The issue itself remains on GitHub (we can't truly delete it as a non-admin user) but it disappears from WAYD's scroll.
WAYD has a Code of Conduct. The short version: no harassment, no NSFW, no spam, be a decent human. Violations get you banned from the repo, which means you can't post or comment anymore.
WAYD is an experiment. If you have ideas for new vibes, UX improvements, or features that fit the "coffee break" spirit, open an issue with the feature-request label (not as a WAYD post, those have a different format). PRs welcome.
What WAYD will probably never become: a real social network, a feed with karma/streaks/badges, anything with notifications that ping you while you're trying to focus. The whole point is that it lives inside your editor and stays small.
MIT. Use it, fork it, host your own instance pointed at your own repo, the repo key in wayd/config.yml is the only thing you need to change.
"What are you doing?": every programmer to themselves, several times a day, at 2 AM, while staring at a stack trace.
