Aurum

“gold”

warmgildedgeometric

Gold fans and sunbursts in the corners of a warm black room.

Gold fans and stepped sunbursts in the corners of a dark frame. Held still, as it is while you read.

The plate

Black and gold in the manner of the 1920s. By night a warm near black page holds gold fans in the top corners and stepped sunbursts rising from the bottom ones. By day the same drawing is brass on ivory. While Claude works, slow glints of light travel along the gold lines, and they hold still when the answer is ready.

While Claude works

The spinner takes one of these words in place of “Working”. When the app names the step it is on, that name stays.

  • Gilding
  • Polishing brass
  • Fanning out
  • Catching the light
  • Setting the stones

After a turn of 20 seconds or more, Aurum plays a soft chime under a second and a half long.

With /tessera music, a quiet loop of its own plays while Claude works and stops when the answer is ready. It is off until you ask for it.

Install

Hang Aurum

  1. 1 In the desktop app

    Click + next to the prompt box and choose Plugins. Add the marketplace btahir/tessera, then add the tessera plugin.

    btahir/tessera
  2. 2 In a terminal session

    Paste this at the prompt.

    /plugin install tessera --marketplace btahir/tessera
  3. 3 Ask Claude

    Send this sentence in any session.

    Install the tessera plugin from the btahir/tessera marketplace on GitHub.

Then

The tessera plugin holds all twenty-five plates. Type /tessera aurum to hang Aurum. /tessera still stops the motion. Sound has three levels: /tessera quiet is silence, /tessera sound is a chime after long turns (the default), and /tessera music adds the room's own quiet loop while Claude works. Your choices are kept across sessions.

Only Aurum

Each plate also installs by its own name, and its commands use that name, such as /aurum still or /aurum music.

/plugin install aurum --marketplace btahir/tessera

Where it shows

Themes appear in the Claude Code desktop and mobile apps. The terminal keeps its own colors. The chime plays on macOS only.
