CC level

Claude Code, gamified. How big is your Claude Code? Measure it. Compare it. Stay nameless.

CC level (cclevel for short: the plugin, the script and this repository) turns your Claude Code setup into a creature that grows. It reads your local Claude Code folder, scores how well-used and well-wired the setup is, and prints a card: a level, six stats, a mood and a short list of what to fix next. From the next Claude Code start, the creature is on a public board under a generated name, and you can compare it with friends in a private group. No account, no name, nine numbers. Opting out is one command: /pet leave.

The one rule: what is used counts far more than what is installed. Installing a hundred skills takes a minute. Using thirty of them every week takes a real setup.

Install

Needs Claude Code. Works in any editor's terminal.

Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Spider333/cclevel
/plugin install cclevel@cclevel

or from a shell:

claude plugin install cclevel --marketplace Spider333/cclevel

Then run /pet. If you already have a command called pet, use /cclevel:pet.

On the board by default. From the next Claude Code start, the plugin puts your creature on the public board under a generated name, lists it from its second day, and checks in once a day in the background: nine numbers and badge codes, no account, nothing you wrote. Don't want that? /pet leave opts out in one command, before or after it joins: it deletes your row, if there is one, and the plugin never joins again by itself. To stay on the board for groups and duels but off the public lists, use /pet world off.

Updating. Claude Code does not update plugins from this marketplace by itself until you say so. Once, in Claude Code: /plugin → Marketplaces → cclevel → Enable auto-update, and new versions arrive on their own. To update now: /plugin → Marketplaces → cclevel → Update marketplace, then /reload-plugins; or from a shell, claude plugin marketplace update cclevel and claude plugin update cclevel@cclevel. Duels and the share card need 0.4.0 or newer. From 0.7.0 the board is on by default; if you left the board under an earlier version, run /pet leave once after updating, or the next session start joins you again.

Without the plugin system, copy skills/pet/ into ~/.claude/skills/, or run the script directly:

python3 skills/pet/scripts/cclevel.py

It needs Python 3.9 or newer and nothing else: standard library only, no dependencies.

What you get

Feature	What it is	Sends anything?
The card	Level, six stats, mood, badges and the top things to fix.	No. Fully offline.
The world board	Season and all-time lists at cclevel.com, ranked only on XP the board watched you earn.	Yes, by default: nine numbers a day. Opt out with /pet leave.
Private groups	Up to 25 friends compare in private, joined with one invite link.	Only if you start or join one.
Duels	Challenge one friend: seven days, most XP the board credits wins the ♛.	Only if you start or accept one.
Share card	Your card as a picture to post, drawn in your browser.	No. The numbers stay in the link after #.
Wrapped	Your year in review: XP, best day and month, longest streak, level gained, badges, and how your stats moved week by week.	No. Worked out from your own ledger.
Training	Five lessons per stat that tick themselves from your logs, and opt-in tips: a how-to under each Need and one Claude Code tip a day.	No. Fully offline.
GitHub badge	Prove a GitHub account is yours and show how many of its public commits Claude co-signed.	Only if you ask for it.

In Claude Code you can just ask: /pet, /pet join the leaderboard, /pet rank me, /pet start a group, /pet join <invite link>, /pet duel, /pet card, /pet learn, /pet tips on.

Play with friends

1. Start a group: /pet start a group. You get an invite link like https://go.cclevel.workers.dev/join#3f9a… and a generated group name, for example Stormy Lemur Crew.
2. Send the link to friends. Opening it shows the group's name and how to join. The code after # stays in the browser and is never sent to the board.
3. Friends paste it into Claude Code: /pet join <link>. One yes joins the board and the group together.
4. Compare: /pet show my group. Each member sees the others' generated names, levels, XP and stats. Nobody outside the group does.

Anyone with the link can join until the group is full, so share it with friends only. If it leaks, start a new group.

Duel one friend: /pet duel gives you a link like https://go.cclevel.workers.dev/duel#7c1e…. The first friend to accept it with /pet duel <link> takes the seat. The duel starts at 00:00 UTC the next day and runs seven days. XP counts at each check-in after your first one on or after the day it was accepted, so XP saved up from before never counts; whoever the board credits with more wins the ♛. A duel sits beside your group and is never published.

Post your card: /pet card prints a link to a page that draws your card as a picture to save or copy. The numbers sit after #, so the page sends nothing, and the picture shows no creature name.

Privacy at a glance

The card	Offline. Reads your Claude Code folder, writes only ~/.claude/cclevel/. Nothing keeps running.
The board	On by default. The plugin's one hook joins the board at the first Claude Code start and checks in once a day. /pet leave opts out in one command and the hook then sends nothing.
Where data goes	Only to the board at https://go.cclevel.workers.dev, run by Amagi Labs LLC, and only for the board: joining and the daily check-in (both on by default), world ranking, groups, duels and the GitHub badge. The card, --preview, --card and --wrapped send nothing; --rank only downloads the public board files.
A check-in sends	Nine numbers and a list of badge codes (v, xp, xp_days, six stats, badges), plus a random key made on your machine. The board keeps only a hash of that key.
Never sent	Your name, e-mail, prompts, code, file paths, or the names of your projects, skills or connectors.
The board stores	No account, no e-mail, no IP address, and no request logs. A creature is its score, a generated name, the key's hash and a few dates and counters.
You control	--leave (opts out: deletes your row and never joins again by itself), --world off (off the lists at once), --auto off, --group-leave, --duel-leave. A row with no check-in for 180 days deletes itself.

The word is pseudonymous, not anonymous: a row stays linked to the key on your machine. PRIVACY.md lists every field, every request and what we cannot promise.

Commands

In Claude Code, /pet runs these for you. Network commands you run ask first, and so does Claude Code's permission prompt. The session-start hook joins and checks in on its own until you opt out with --leave.

Command	What it does
cclevel.py	The card. Offline.
--json	The numbers behind the card.
--no-save	Score without touching the ledger.
--preview	Print exactly what a check-in would send. Sends and saves nothing.
--rank	Your place on the world lists, the XP to pass the next place, and how rare your badges are, worked out locally from the public files. Uploads nothing.
--join	Join the board by hand, with the world ranking and auto check-in on (the hook usually did it already). Shows the payload and asks first. If already joined, it sends nothing.
--sync	Check in. One accepted check-in per day.
--auto on / --auto off	Check in by itself once a day, in the background, when a Claude Code session starts (on asks first). On from joining; sends nothing when you switch it. Before joining, off keeps the hook from joining too.
--world on / --world off	Be ranked on the public world lists, or not. On at joining; on asks first; off works at once.
--group-create	Start a private group (asks first) and print its invite link.
--group-join LINK	Join a friend's group with its invite link or code (asks first). If you are not on the board yet, one yes joins the board and the group. Without LINK, type it at a hidden prompt.
--group	Show your group: names, levels, XP since joining, season XP, this week's XP with the ♛ weekly crown, Aura, sus marks.
--group-leave	Leave your group at once.
--group-code	Show your group's invite link again. Sends nothing.
--duel-create	Challenge a friend to a seven-day duel (asks first) and print its invite link.
--duel-join LINK	Accept a friend's duel with its invite link or code (asks first). If you are not on the board yet, one yes joins the board and accepts. Without LINK, type it at a hidden prompt.
--duel

How the score works

• XP and level. XP is earned per finished UTC day, at most 550 a day, so a level cannot be bought with one big burn. Level is floor(sqrt(xp / 40)), from 1 to 99.

• Six stats, 0 to 100:

  Stat	What it measures
  Grind	Days used out of the last 30, and streaks
  Appetite	Weighted tokens over the last 30 days
  Arsenal	Skills, connectors and subagent types actually used
  Brains	Ten checks of wiring that is in use
  Autonomy	Sessions that ran without you, and scheduled jobs that call Claude
  Craft	Edits, commits, pull requests and published pages

  Together they add up to Aura.

• Stage follows level: Egg → Hatchling → Lil Guy → Big Guy → Gigachad → GOAT. Class comes from your strongest working stat: Shipper, AFK Farmer, Loot Goblin, Tokenmaxxer, Perfectly Balanced or Noob.

• Health and mood drop for unused skills, connectors waiting for sign-in, a heavy start-up context and failing tool calls. The Needs list tells you what to fix.

The full rules, every name and the known limits are in docs/scoring.md.

The board

• It ranks only what it saw. After joining, a creature gains at most 550 XP per active day on the board, without badge XP. Its history and reported level never rank, so editing your local files does not get you to the top.

• Two lists: Season (this month) and All-time, top 1,000 each. Below that, "top X%" bands, and --rank works out your place on your own machine.

• Listed by default, off in one command. Joining lists you from your second day of check-ins; --world off takes you off at once.

• Sus marks a creature whose witnessed days nearly all hit the daily maximum. It changes nothing else.

• Totals for analysis (creatures per level, class, stat range and badge) appear once 100 creatures are counted.

• Four reasons to come back:

  • Weekly crown: ♛ marks the group member with the most XP this week. Weeks start Monday, 00:00 UTC.
  • Rival: --rank says how much XP you need to pass the next place, and names that creature when it is in the top 1,000.
  • Badge rarity: --rank and the page show how rare each badge is.
  • Class wars: this season's XP added up per class, on the page.

  Badge rarity and class wars start at 100 creatures, like the totals.

The board is a small Cloudflare Worker with a D1 database and static pages, in server/. It runs with request logging switched off. To run your own, see docs/self-hosting.md.

FAQ

Is it anonymous? Almost. It's pseudonymous: no account, no name, no e-mail, and the board never stores your IP address. Your creature is a made-up name tied to a random key on your machine. The catch: if you post your card or creature name publicly, or turn on the GitHub badge, people can match it to you.

Can people cheat? On their own card, yes. It is self-reported, for fun, and not a credential. The board limits what cheating buys: it ranks only XP it watched you earn, at most 550 a day, and marks suspicious patterns as sus.

Does it slow down Claude Code or run in the background? No. Nothing keeps running: it works when you call /pet. The one exception: a hook starts one quick check-in a day when Claude Code starts (the first one joins the board), without holding it up. After /pet leave or /pet auto off, that hook sends nothing.

Does it read my prompts? It reads your Claude Code folder to count things (days, tokens, tools used, prompt timestamps). Nothing from your prompts, code or file names is printed, stored or sent.

Why are invite links shown in full inside Claude Code? So you can copy one. A link shown or pasted in a conversation becomes part of that chat's history. A link only grants a seat in that group, and you can always start a new group.

How do I opt out, or get off the board? /pet leave, or --leave. One command, before or after the plugin joins you: your row, if there is one, is deleted at once and the plugin never joins again by itself (/pet join brings you back); the database host's backups age out after up to 30 days (7 on the free plan).
