Everything runs locally. It reads ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl and prints to your terminal. There are no network calls and no dependencies beyond the Python standard library.

Install

As a Claude Code plugin — then just ask Claude to play bingo:

/plugin marketplace add lavallee/claude-bingo
/plugin install claude-bingo@claude-bingo

As a CLI:

uvx claude-bingo board     # no install
pipx install claude-bingo  # or keep it around

From source:

git clone https://github.com/lavallee/claude-bingo
cd claude-bingo
python3 -m claude_bingo board

Requires Python 3.11+ (for tomllib).

Use

claude-bingo board              # generate a fresh board
claude-bingo board --size 3     # smaller, for a quick round
claude-bingo board --seed 12345 # reproduce a specific board
claude-bingo score              # score it against the last 7 days
claude-bingo score --days 30    # ...or however far back you dare look
claude-bingo score --no-quotes  # skip the receipts
claude-bingo phrases            # list the phrase bank

The board is saved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/claude-bingo/board.json (default ~/.local/share/claude-bingo/board.json), so score picks up whatever you last generated.

A given --seed reproduces a given board only for a given phrase bank — add phrases and the same seed deals a different hand.

The phrase bank

65 phrases across 9 categories, in claude_bingo/phrases.toml. Each entry is a board label and the regex that hunts for it:

[linkedin-brain]
"delve" = "\\bdelv(?:e|es|ing)\\b"
"tapestry" = "\\btapestry\\b"

Patterns are matched case-insensitively and in multiline mode, so ^ anchors to the start of any line.

Add your own without touching the package in ~/.config/claude-bingo/phrases.toml — same format. A label that collides with a bundled one overrides its pattern.

Contributing

PRs to the phrase bank are the point of this repo. Add to an existing category or start a new one. Two things make a good entry:

• The label reads at a glance. It lands in a 13-column cell.
• The regex is specific enough to mean something. \bjust\b will match everything and tell you nothing; you'?re absolutely right earns its square.

Run claude-bingo phrases to check yours loaded, and claude-bingo score to see whether it actually catches anything.
