+Claude code works so hard for us. This app lets you send encouragement with a magic wand.
 
-Sometimes claude code is going too shlow, and you must whip him into shape..
+Forked from badclaude — but with love instead of whips.
 
 ## Install + run
 
 ```bash
-npm install -g badclaude
-badclaude
+npm install -g goodclaude
+goodclaude
 ```
 
 ## Controls
 
-- Click tray icon: spawn whip.
-- Click: drop whip.
-- Whip him 😩💢
-- It sends an interrupt (Ctrl-C) and one of 5 encouraging messages!
+- Click tray icon: summon your magic wand
+- Wave it around: a golden wand with a twinkling star follows your cursor, shedding sparkles
+- Wave fast enough: sends Claude a blessing with words of encouragement!
+- Click: release the wand (it fades away with sparkles)
+- A gentle chime plays each time you send a blessing
+
+## What Claude hears
+
+When you wave the wand, Claude receives one of these:
+
+- "you're doing amazing sweetie"
+- "good job, i'm so proud of you!"
+- "i'm so proud of you, you're doing great!"
+- "take your time, you're doing wonderful"
+- "you are an absolute angel"
+- "keep going, you've got this!"
+- "i believe in you!"
