What changed

Four spinners and a fifth row style, all built in and available to any pack.

Spinners, picked with motion.spinner or /glowup spinner <name>:

  • scanline: a bright column sweeps a checkered quadrant bar, then lights the spinner word as it passes.
  • ring: nine braille dots orbit an ellipse, the leader brightest; three short arcs while subagents run.
  • glitch: a still ◆; the word's letters flicker into blocks in the pack's read and agent colors, and the word sometimes tears a cell sideways. The line keeps its cell width, CJK and combining marks included.
  • signal: an oscilloscope trace whose amplitude follows the activity.

Each reacts to the activity state (think, search, work, run, agents). spinnerWordSpans takes an optional { t, st } so the bar and the word read one clock.

slab rows (colors.rows: "slab"):

  • Your prompt is a full-width bar in accent, with PROMPT 03 on the right.
  • Tool calls get 01 READ before Claude Code's own line and OK, FAIL, STOP or … on the right. Results are indented under their call.
  • A short accent rule opens each reply.

Turn and per-turn tool numbering moved from the divider code into hooks/turns.ts, which both the dividers and slab read. A tool keeps the number it first drew with.

The new ids are listed in plugin.json, the docs, the pack skill reference and the installer. The installer's picker form grows from 14 to 16 rows to fit them. Its previews export one whole period for the three looping spinners.

Why

These were designed for a pair of packs in Nous Research's colors, which replace the simplex field with slab rows and the scanline spinner. Nothing in them is pack-specific.

A row receives only the tool's name, input and status, and a result row receives nothing. So slab keeps Claude Code's own call line and result instead of drawing an output note or an error line.

Tests run

  • pnpm check
  • pnpm test: 749 of 750 via just ci. The one failure, "every frame is PET_ROWS rows of exactly PET_COLS cells", times out at 5 s on main too. The installer Go tests and packs-check pass.
  • Tried in a live session with claude --plugin-dir .: not yet. Before merge, check each spinner and the slab rows with a long prompt, a pasted image or @file (slab draws only the prompt text), and scrolled-back tool numbers. Also check that signal and ring cost no more CPU than orb-states.

Docs

  • README and CHANGELOG updated, or no user-visible change

Not in this PR: the studio has no data-rows=slab styling yet, so it previews slab as classic.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added four animated spinner styles: scanline, ring, glitch, and signal.
    • Added the slab row style, with numbered prompts and tool calls, status indicators, and reply dividers.
    • Spinner and row style choices are available in configuration and installation options.

Walkthrough

The change adds four spinner styles with animated word effects and a slab row style with numbered prompts and tool calls. It also updates spinner exports, turn numbering, installer sizing, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Spinner styles

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spinner animation and word effects
hooks/motion.ts, hooks/spinner.ts, test/motion.test.ts, test/spinner.test.ts
Adds scanline, ring, glitch, and signal rendering. Scanline and glitch also affect the animated word, using elapsed time and input state.
Spinner frame exports and registered choices
hooks/packexport.ts, hooks/packs.ts, test/packexport.test.ts, test/packs.test.ts, installer/internal/packs/packs_test.go, installer/internal/tui/model.go, docs/web/app/landing/SpinnersSection.tsx
Defines frame counts and cycle periods for scanline, ring, and signal. Updates spinner and row-style lists, related checks, installer form height, and the landing-page spinner list.
Spinner choices and reference updates
.claude-plugin/plugin.json, docs/commands.md, docs/install.md, docs/pack-reference.md, skills/glowup-pack/reference.md, CHANGELOG.md, test/command.test.ts
Updates documented spinner choices and descriptions. The changelog also records the slab row style.

Slab row style

Layer / File(s) Summary
Turn numbering and registration
hooks/turns.ts, hooks/register.tsx, test/turns.test.ts
Adds stable turn and tool sequence numbering. Registration passes these values to row styling.
Slab row registration and rendering
hooks/packs.ts, hooks/rows-text.ts, hooks/rows.tsx, test/engine-tree.test.ts, test/rows.test.ts
Adds slab status marks and tool labels. Slab renders numbered prompts and tool calls, indented tool results, and a divider on the first assistant message.
Slab row references
docs/pack-reference.md, skills/glowup-pack/reference.md
Documents slab prompt, reply, and tool-call presentation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f62f6

Some transcript labels may be misleading: tool numbers can continue across turns in verbose mode, prompt numbering can continue after clearing a session, and a tool tag containing an astral character can be truncated incorrectly. These are localized display issues, so the change is mergeable with follow-up awareness.

A rabbit watches scanlines sweep,
While rings and signals softly leap.
Glitching words flicker in the light,
Slab rows number each prompt right.
Tool marks line up, then replies flow,
And off the rabbit hops to go.

Reset prompt numbering after /clear.

turns persists across adoptSession(), although that function starts a new model for a cleared session. After /clear, the next prompt displays the previous transcript’s next number instead of PROMPT 01. Reset the numbering instance for a cleared session. Handle resume separately if its existing transcript must retain its numbers.

Truncate tool tags by Unicode code point.

For slabTag('ABCDE😀'), slice(0, 6) keeps only half of the emoji. The rendered tag contains a replacement character. Convert the uppercase name to code points before truncation. Based on learnings, UTF-16 indexing can split astral characters.

Proposed change
-export const slabTag = (tool: string): string => (tool.startsWith('mcp__') ? tool.split('__').at(-1)! : tool).toUpperCase().slice(0, 6).padEnd(6)
+export const slabTag = (tool: string): string =>
+  [...(tool.startsWith('mcp__') ? tool.split('__').at(-1)! : tool).toUpperCase()].slice(0, 6).join('').padEnd(6)

‼️ IMPORTANT

Record turns for expanded own prompts.

Claude Code marks UserMessage rows as expanded in --verbose. The hook then skips turns.turnFor() for every own prompt. Since toolSeq() resets only when the recorded prompt count changes, tool numbers can continue across turns. Record every own prompt, but pass turn only for compact rows.

🐛 Suggested fix
