CookTap
Terminal typing micro-game for AI coding wait states.
While the AI cooks, you level up your typing speed.

CookTap runs in your terminal while AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) are thinking. It tracks WPM, accuracy, streaks, ranks, and personal bests — then generates crisp share cards for X/Twitter so you can flex your grind.

Install
npm install -g cooktap
Or run directly:
npx cooktap
Use with AI Coding CLIs
CookTap works with any AI coding CLI. The install experience varies by host:
| CLI | Launch | Done notification |
|---|
| Claude Code | Native plugin (/cooktap skill) | Full (Stop hook) |
| Codex | Via npx skills | Coming soon |
| Gemini CLI | Via npx skills | Coming soon |
| Any other | npx cooktap in a separate tab | — |
Claude Code (flagship)
CookTap ships as a native Claude Code plugin with a Stop hook and /cooktap skill.
Option A — Plugin install:
/plugin install cooktap
Option B — Setup command:
cooktap setup claude
This installs a Stop hook in ~/.claude/settings.json and a /cooktap skill. When Claude finishes working, CookTap shows a gold "Claude Code is ready!" banner with a terminal bell.
Preview what it would do first:
cooktap setup claude --dry-run
Universal (any CLI)
npx skills add 0xagentkitchen/CookTap
This installs a portable SKILL.md that any supported agent can read. The agent can then launch CookTap with npx cooktap.
Categories
Four drill categories targeting different typing skills:
| Category | Content | Count |
|---|
| Words | English text, dev phrases, pangrams | 50 |
| Code | JS/TS, React hooks, Go, Python, Rust, SQL, regex | 80 |
| CLI | git, docker, kubectl, curl, jq, ssh, aws, npm | 60 |
| Technique | Finger drills, row isolation, hand isolation, bigrams | 40 |
230 drills total. Each can be played standard (complete the text) or timed (30s / 60s).
Adaptive Technique Targeting
The Technique category is smart. It reads your error heatmap, identifies your weakest keys, and biases drill selection toward the finger/row/hand that trains them. The Category screen shows exactly which keys it's targeting:
4. Technique Finger drills, rows, hand isolation
Targeting: e s t f v
Drills tagged index-fingers, bottom-row, left-hand, etc. get a big weight boost when your heatmap overlaps with the keys that tag covers.
Gamification
CookTap tracks your progress through a multi-layer progression system.
Ranks
Six ranks with three divisions each (except Master):
Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond → Master
Rank is computed from your best WPM, best accuracy, and experience. You see it next to the CookTap logo on the Category screen, on the results screen, and rendered in gold on every share card.
After each drill, CookTap shows a "next rank" nudge:
Next rank: 3 WPM and 1.2% accuracy away from Gold III
Milestones
Crossing a milestone triggers a celebration on the results screen:
★ UNLOCKED: 50 WPM
★ UNLOCKED: 10 S-Grades
Milestones cover WPM thresholds (40 → 120), drill counts (10 → 1000), daily streaks (3 → 100 days), accuracy feats, and grade milestones.
Achievements
Unlockable achievements include special predicates beyond simple thresholds — Code Master (10 S-grades in code), CLI Legend (50 CLI drills), Words Wizard, Symbol Sharpshooter, and more. Earned achievements persist to stats.json.
Daily Streak
Prominent on the Category screen:
▲ Day 38 — don't break the chain
Flexing Online
When you crush a drill, press 1 / 2 / 3 on the results screen to generate a share card:

Three share modes:
- Drill (
1) — single drill: grade, WPM, accuracy, time, errors, streak
- Session (
2) — cumulative: avg WPM/accuracy, drill count, total time
- Global (
3) — all-time: total drills, best WPM/accuracy, longest streak, trouble keys
What CookTap does automatically:
- Renders a 2400x1350 PNG (2x HD) with your rank tier, grade, and custom background
- Generates a dynamic caption tailored to your performance — S-grade runs get hype lines, PBs get celebratory prefixes, speed-demon runs get roasted differently than precision runs
- Copies the caption to your clipboard
- Reveals the image in Finder / file manager
Captions vary across ~120 templates grouped into tone buckets (flawless, speed demon, precision, S-tier, A-grade, etc.) with grade-specific hashtags (#SGrade, #Flawless, #PB). You shouldn't see the same line twice.
Cards are saved to ~/.cooktap/shares/.
