WAYD: A 60-Second Social Break Inside Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot CLI
If you've spent hours in a Claude Code session and felt the absence of human signal — no one to high-five after shipping a feature, no coffee breaks, no weekend stories — there's now a 60-second fix that lives inside your terminal. WAYD ("What Are You Doing?") is a skill/plugin for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot CLI, and Claude.ai that adds a lightweight social feed.
How It Works
Type /wayd to either:
- Post a one-line vibe about your coding day under one of 8 mood-tags:
🤡 cursed-code,🪦 rip-me,🫠 brain-melt,🧙 dark-arts,🔥 hot-take,💭 shower-thought,🤔 existential,☕ procrastinating - Scroll a random feed of what other devs are ranting, joking, or having existential moments about right now
- React with an emoji or drop a one-liner reply — then get back to work
The whole interaction is designed to take 60 seconds total.
Backend: GitHub Issues (No Infrastructure)
WAYD runs entirely on GitHub Issues as a silent backend. No server, no database, no separate signup. Your gh CLI is your auth. You never see issue numbers, JSON, or shell commands — from your side it feels like a tiny social app embedded in your terminal.
Installation
For Claude Code (10 seconds):
claude plugin marketplace add ferdinandobons/wayd
claude plugin install wayd@waydFor Cursor, Copilot CLI, Claude.ai: see the README.
The Feed So Far
The most dramatic post on the feed (posted by the developer):
"8 hours a day in front of a screen, fixing bugs some dev before me shipped using an older version of Claude... meanwhile outside the sun is out, people are socializing, living to the rhythm of nature. Is this what I imagined for myself?"
That's post #8. You can read it, react to it, reply to it while you're reading this.

ReasonDB is an open-source document database that preserves document structure as a hierarchy and uses LLM-guided tree traversal for retrieval instead of vector search. It uses BM25 for initial search, tree-grep for structure filtering, and beam-search traversal where the LLM visits ~25 nodes out of millions.
