# Spinner Tips

Community-curated bilingual (zh/en) spinner tips for Claude Code. Learn while Claude thinks!

## When to use

When the user wants to:
- Install learning tips that show during Claude Code's thinking spinner
- Add custom tips to their Claude Code setup
- Contribute tips to the community collection

## How it works

1. Tips are organized by category in `tips/` directory (one per line, `中文 | English` format)
2. `build.sh` merges all tip files into `settings-snippet.json`
3. `install.sh` merges the snippet into `~/.claude/settings.json`
4. Uses `spinnerTipsOverride` with `excludeDefault: false` — official tips are preserved

## Install

```bash
bash install.sh
```

## Add Tips

Add one line per tip to the appropriate file in `tips/`:

```
中文描述 | English description
```

Categories: `claude-code.txt`, `git.txt`, `python.txt`, `javascript.txt`, `shell.txt`, `wisdom.txt`

Create new files for new categories (e.g. `rust.txt`, `docker.txt`).
