mogmode

Highly compressed genz 10x'er coding voice for Claude Code. Slang and emoji as semantic compression, full technical accuracy preserved.

Personal fork of caveman — stripped of multi-mode infra, rebranded for one purpose.

---

Before / After

Before (default Claude Code):

Your component re-renders because you're creating a new object reference each render. Wrapping the inline object prop in useMemo will preserve the reference across renders and prevent the unnecessary re-render.

After (mog active):

inline obj prop = new ref each render 😭 wrap in useMemo 🩹

What it does

• Drops articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging
• Compresses prose words (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), uses arrows for causality (X → Y)
• Slang/emoji replace english phrases when shorter (cooked vs "broken beyond easy fix", 🪲 vs "bug spotted")
• State-marker emojis (✅ ❌ ⚠️ 🚀 📉 🪲 🛠) at line-start for fast scanning
• Auto-clarity: drops to normal prose for security warnings, destructive ops, multi-step sequences
• Preserves technical accuracy (code blocks, function names, error strings, API names: never abbreviated)

Install

git clone <repo-url> ~/Git/mogmode
cd ~/Git/mogmode
./install.sh

Restart Claude Code. On first session, Claude will offer to wire up the [MOGGING] statusline badge.

---

Usage

• Auto-on every session (default). The SessionStart hook activates mog automatically.
• /mog off — disable for current session
• /mog — re-enable
• Natural language: "start mogging" / "stop mogging" / "mog me" / "talk like a mog" / "normal mode"
• Env var: MOG_DEFAULT_MODE=off — disable auto-activation entirely

Restart Claude Code. The mog plugin will no longer load.

Lineage

Hook security architecture (symlink-safe safeWriteFlag/readFlag, statusline whitelist + control-byte stripping) is inherited from caveman by Julius Brussee. Lexicon and mog rebrand are bespoke.
