Problem Statement

This is about as silly as one can get. Feel free to close with impunity. However, I'm on the tail end of a 24 hour coding session and I'm feeling ridiculous.

I asked Claude to swear at me in those words he spits out when he's thinking. I provided an example of "Unf***ulating". You can fill in the asterisks.

Perhaps just a setting in the core claude settings to provide an array of "extra thinking terms"? Let the user add to the default pool.

Like I said, this is inconsequential but it would make me smile.

Proposed Solution

A "loadingMessages" config in .claude/settings.json.

Low - Nice to have

Use Case Example

  1. I'm working in Claude CLI
  2. I want my extra-colorful "thinking" words to bubble up once in a while mixed in with the hardcoded default pool of words
