Show HN: Claude Bucks – a wallet for your AI agent

https://github.com/zachrip/claude-bucks
1•zachrip•58m ago
Hey all, I thought of this idea today: it would be pretty fun if claude could accrue currency and then spend this currency at a cosmetics shop on its own. The twist: the amount of money it earns it based on your ratings of its work multiplied by the effort (currently just token count but might change this). Claude can decide to spend money on small things or save money for larger purchases like the pirate hat - one of the items that actually changes the way that claude talks to you (Aaargh!). At first I thought this was just a whimsical idea, but then when using it I genuinely gave claude a rating of 0 for a session and it was able to sum up what went wrong and how to improve next time. So I added the ability to incent claude to do better work with the idea that better work = more money = more purchasing power (I know the incentive is a little backwards right now with the token count metric). Right now it's entirely vibe coded for speed/time but if it gains traction I will probably rewrite it by hand, the code is pretty gnarly.

Anyways, just wanted to add some whimsy to your days, hope you enjoy.
