Cc Storytime — Development skill for Claude Code

Storytime

A 260K-parameter transformer running inside Claude Code as a mod. It sits above the prompt and writes a short story about whatever Claude is working on: the tool Claude just called picks the kind of hero, the file it touched names the hero, and a word from your prompt is what the hero finds. Every token is generated locally by the mod's own TypeScript; nothing goes to the API.

Once upon a time, there was a little pencil named Auth. Auth loved to draw
pictures of the sun and the moon. One day, Auth saw a big tree…▍
seeded by Edit auth-service.ts · 4300 tok/s · /story

The model is Andrej Karpathy's `stories260K` from `karpathy/tinyllamas` (dim 64, 5 layers, 8 heads, 4 KV heads, vocab 512), the same checkpoint [gbc-transformer](https://github.com/maddiedreese/gbc-transformer) runs on a Game Boy Color at one token every 2 minutes 49 seconds. Here it runs at a few thousand tokens a second and is throttled to two tokens per 80 ms so it reads as typing.

Install

Mods are built on function hooks, which are early access in Claude Code 2.1.272 and later, so start Claude Code with the flag:

CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude

Then, inside Claude Code, add this repository as a marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add maddiedreese/cc-storytime
/plugin install storytime@cc-storytime

Or run it from a clone without installing:

git clone https://github.com/maddiedreese/cc-storytime
CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude --plugin-dir ./cc-storytime

Use

Work as usual. The band reseeds on each prompt you send and on tool calls, at most once every twelve seconds.

• /story writes a new story.
• /story writes one about that hero.
• /story off hides the band (remembered across sessions); /story on brings it back.
