Dulcis
“sweet”
brightplayfulsharp
Candy colored confetti in the corners of a warm dark page.
If you like Monokai, you will feel at home here.
Bright paper confetti scattered in the corners of a dark olive page. Held still, as it is while you read.
The plate
A flat page of warm olive dark with cut paper confetti gathered in the four corners: dots, short bars, quarter rings, triangles and squiggles in hot pink, lime, tangerine, sky blue and violet. The scatter thins to nothing toward the middle, so the words sit on a plain page. By day the page turns warm white and the paper takes deeper inks. While Claude works each piece bobs and turns on its own slow rhythm, and when the answer is ready they all hold still.
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.
- Sprinkling
- Unwrapping
- Tossing confetti
- Mixing colors
- Sweetening
- Cutting shapes
After a turn of 20 seconds or more, Dulcis 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.

/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 Dulcis
Each plate also installs by its own name, and its commands use that name, such as /dulcis still or /dulcis music.
/plugin install dulcis --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.
