Pluvia

“rain”

wetquietlate

Rain on a window, and a lit city through the glass.

A rainy city at night seen through a window. Held still, as it is while you read.

The plate

You look out through a tall window with a pane on each side. By day a grey drizzle washes the city pale behind a white painted frame. By night towers and street lights blur into soft discs of amber, blue and red, and drops bead on the dark glass. While Claude works the rain falls, the lights breathe and a few drops run down the pane. When the answer is ready it all holds 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.

  • Drizzling
  • Pooling
  • Pattering
  • Gathering clouds
  • Listening to the rain

After a turn of 20 seconds or more, Pluvia 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 Pluvia

  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 pluvia to hang Pluvia. /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 Pluvia

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

/plugin install pluvia --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.
