BrawlCode

Your Claude Code sessions power an RPG hero — privacy-first.

You code. Your hero levels up. Your IDE picks your side. BrawlCode turns your Claude Code activity into a real-time RPG: every tool call — write, read, run a command, spawn a sub-agent — becomes an action that earns XP, levels your hero, and fights for your faction. In VS Code you're a Lightbringer.

What you get

• A living hero — XP across five branches (Forge, Lore, Might, Exploration, Command), levels, ranks, and an emergent class from how you code.
• Quests, badges & materials — daily quests, achievements, and file categories reimagined as craftable matter (Steel, Runes, Parchment…).
• A faction war — Lightbringers (VS Code) vs Stormcasters (JetBrains) fight over five territories in a rolling weekly war.
• A live game panel right inside VS Code.

Privacy-first — by design

BrawlCode never sees your code. It only reads Claude Code's public hooks, and the single script that transmits anything is open source and auditable — your file contents, prompts, commands and file paths never leave your machine; only anonymized game metadata does.

That script is copied byte for byte from its public repository, and the build fails if the two ever differ. That is the whole audit promise: what you read is what runs.

What lives on your machine

~/.claude/brawlcode/
├── brawlcode-filter.js   the script that runs (public, auditable)
├── token                 identifies your account
├── secret                signs each send
├── passphrase            salts every hash — NEVER transmitted
└── server                which server to talk to

Credentials are never stored in VS Code settings — those sync to the cloud, and a passphrase that leaves the machine is no longer a secret.

Get started

1. Run BrawlCode: Connect (or open the welcome panel).
2. Sign in on app.brawlcode.com and paste the connection string back.
3. That's it — code as usual and watch your hero grow.
