Feature Request
Idea: Add seasonal or holiday-themed variants of the Claude Code mascot (the pixel-art robot that appears on startup), similar to how Google changes their logo with Google Doodles.
Examples:
- Santa hat during Christmas
- Pumpkin or costume for Halloween
- Party hat for New Year's
- Sunglasses for summer
- Heart accessory for Valentine's Day
Why it'd be cool:
- Adds personality and delight to the CLI experience
- Creates a small moment of surprise/fun when a new season rolls around
- Google Doodles have proven this kind of touch builds brand affinity
Possible approaches:
- Built-in seasonal variants that swap automatically based on the date
- A user setting to enable/disable if some prefer the standard mascot
- Community-contributed designs could make it even more fun
Would love to see the little robot get festive!
