I got tired of checking whether Claude Code needs me. So I gave it a physical status light.

I have Claude Code running on a separate laptop, usually working on stuff that takes a while. Right now, Claude is building new 3D models for my 3D Batleship Game, you can play it here: Bearing Unknown · Schiffe versenken im Kalten Krieg ther it was still doing its thing or just sitting there waiting for me to answer some question. Had an old Kuando Busylight lying around, so I hooked it up to Claude Code using hooks. Now it blinks red while Claude is working, stays solid red when it needs input, and turns green when it's idle. That's it. No more constantly glancing at the other screen. Probably one of the more useful things I've done with a USB light.
