<p align="center"><strong>Disrupt the status quo.</strong></p>
<p align="center">A Claude Code plugin that replaces the default spinner words with quotes from your favorite movies, TV shows, and characters — or generate your own for any franchise, instantly.</p>
> *Why settle for "Bamboozling" when Claude could be "Engaging", "Force choking", or telling you "There is no spoon"?*
## Install
```bash
/plugin marketplace add FurbySoup/status-quote
/plugin install statusquote@status-quote
```
Or load directly:
```bash
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/statusquote
```
## See It In Action
### Browse packs and create your own
*Browse the 16 built-in franchise and character packs, then generate a brand new pack for The Office US — complete with preview, editing, and instant activation.*
## Quick Start
```
/statusquote:use startrek # Apply a built-in pack
/statusquote:use yoda+vader # Mix characters
/statusquote:use fantasy # Apply an entire genre
/statusquote:create the office # Generate any pack on the fly
/statusquote:list # See everything available
/statusquote:reset # Back to defaults
```
## Create Any Pack, Instantly
Statusquote ships with 16 curated packs, but you're not limited to them. Generate a pack for **any** movie, TV show, or character — Claude builds it, validates it, and makes it available immediately:
```
/statusquote:create breaking bad # TV shows
/statusquote:create fight club # Movies
/statusquote:create michael scott # Specific characters
/statusquote:create doctor who # Sci-fi classics
/statusquote:create pokemon # Anime
/statusquote:create the sopranos # Drama
```
Custom packs are saved to `~/.statusquote/packs/`, persist across sessions, and work with all commands — mix them with built-in packs, include them in groups, or use `/statusquote:use custom` to apply all your creations at once.

## Groups and Mixing
*The ultimate nerd spinner — blend LOTR, Star Trek, and Star Wars into one pack. Claude cycles through "Forging", "Make it so", and "Use the Force" while it works.*
Apply multiple packs at once with group keywords or `+` combinations:
| Group | Entries |
|-------|---------|
| `all` | Everything (built-in + custom) |
| `franchises` | All 10 franchise packs |
| `characters` | All 6 character packs |
| `custom` | All your generated packs |
| `scifi` | Trek, Wars, Matrix, JP, BTTF, Marvel, T-800, Vader, Yoda, Groot |
| `fantasy` | LOTR, HP, Bride, Wars, Gandalf, Yoda |
| `comedy` | BTTF, Bride, Sparrow, Groot |
| `action` | Marvel, T-800 |
| `mystery` | Sherlock |
```
/statusquote:use fantasy+t800 # Genre + character
/statusquote:use characters+startrek # Group + franchise
/statusquote:use custom+scifi # Your packs + a genre
```
## Style Modes
Control what type of entries appear in the spinner:
```
/statusquote:style verbs # Gerund-style only ("Engaging", "Scanning")
/statusquote:style phrases # Short quotes only ("Make it so", "Inconceivable")
/statusquote:style mix # Both combined (default)
```
## How It Works
Statusquote writes to the `spinnerVerbs` setting in `~/.claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"spinnerVerbs": {
"mode": "replace",
"verbs": ["Engaging", "Scanning", "Make it so", "Fascinating"]
}
}
```
A backup of your settings is saved before every change to `~/.claude/backups/`.
