Description
3 weeks ago I had a nasty accident and fractured my vertebrae. As I lay in bed I needed something to take my mind off it all so built "Claudoro".Claudoro is a pomodoro timer built right into the Claude Code status line, as well as can be directly controlled from Claude Code and the CLI. A few years ago I built "pymodoro" which was great, but recently I felt I needed something embedded in the tools I actually use, and I also wanted something that was flexible, and I could tweak and nudge.Anyway I hope it is useful to you, and I'd love some feedback on how to improve it.Thank you...!PS this is a write up all about how it works etc: https://benemson.com/blog/agents/claudoro-pomodoro-timer-cla...

Could you build this?
Yes Claudoro is a lightweight CLI/terminal utility and status line timer script that can be vibe-coded within hours using simple terminal escape sequences and shell scripting.
