Gode

Every tool call is a lottery ticket.

Gode is a PostToolUse hook for Claude Code that turns your coding sessions into a passive idle game. Credits rain down while Claude works. Blow them on a slot machine. Buy ridiculous titles. Flex ASCII dragons. All backed by real files, real randomness, a house edge that will take your money, and HMAC-signed wallets you can't cheat.

---

How it works

Gode runs silently in the background. Every time Claude uses a tool — Read, Edit, Bash, Grep, anything — the hook fires and rolls the dice. You'll see gold notifications pop in your terminal when credits land.

• 8% chance per tool use to earn 5-25 credits
• 0.5% chance for a rare drop worth 100-250 credits
• 30-second cooldown between drops
• Never blocks Claude's work — always exits 0

The slot machine

Spend your credits on 3-reel slots with 7 dev-themed symbols. Each reel is independent, weighted to hurt, and resolved with random.choices(). No fake shuffles.

Payout table

Match	Payout		Match	Payout
3x GEM	5000 cr		2x GEM	200 cr
3x ROCKET	1000 cr		2x ROCKET	75 cr
3x STAR	500 cr		2x STAR	40 cr
3x MERGE	250 cr		2x MERGE	20 cr
3x COMMIT	150 cr		2x COMMIT	10 cr
3x COFFEE	100 cr		2x COFFEE	5 cr
3x BUG	75 cr		2x BUG	3 cr

Expected return: ~35-42 credits per 50 credit bet. The house always wins.

Tamper protection

Don't bother. Four layers will catch you.

Layer	What it checks	Punishment
HMAC-SHA256 signature	Every wallet save is signed with an obfuscated key. Edit any field and the signature breaks.	Reset to 500
Proof-of-earn audit	Achievements are cross-checked against actual stats. Claimed a jackpot with 0 spins?	Reset to 500
Balance sanity	Can't have more credits than you've ever earned. Items must be paid for. Equipped items must be owned.	Reset to 500
Config hash	config.json is SHA256-hashed and baked into the code. Change the odds, payouts, spin cost, or shop prices?	Reset to 0

Wallet tampering resets you to starter credits. Config tampering is worse — you tried to rig the game itself. You get zero.

Config reference

These are the defaults in config.json. They're locked — changing them zeros your wallet.

Setting	Default	What it does
spin_cost	50	Credits per spin
earn_chance	0.08	Drop chance per tool use
rare_drop_chance	0.005	Rare drop chance
earn_cooldown_seconds	30	Cooldown between drops
starting_credits	500	New wallet balance

If you fork the repo and want different values, you'll need to update the config hash in wallet.py to match. The hash is split across _CH0 through _CH3.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Pillow (only for regenerating images: pip install Pillow)
• Claude Code with hooks support
• A tolerance for losing fake money

---

Regenerating images

pip install Pillow
python assets/generate.py

Requires Windows fonts (Consolas, Segoe UI). All images are hand-rendered with PIL — no AI generation.

---

Built for degens who think coding sessions need more dopamine.

You cannot lose anything except fake numbers and your dignity. Please gamble responsibly with your imaginary coins.
