Silva

“forest”

mistygreenhushed

Pine woods in mist, with fireflies at the edges of the trees.

If you like Everforest, you will feel at home here.

Rows of pine trees fading into mist, with a few fireflies. Held still, as it is while you read.

The plate

Deep forest green in both modes. By day the pines stand in morning fog, sage and pale green, each row softer than the one in front of it. By night they turn to dark layers in a green-black mist, and a few fireflies glow among the nearest trunks. While Claude works the mist drifts slowly sideways and the fireflies light and fade. When the answer is ready the woods 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.

  • Wandering the pines
  • Following the path
  • Gathering moss
  • Listening to the woods
  • Waiting for the mist

After a turn of 20 seconds or more, Silva 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 Silva

  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 silva to hang Silva. /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 Silva

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

/plugin install silva --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.
