Developer younesfdj has released vibecoder-discord-presence, an npm package that pushes your Claude Code activity directly to Discord as a live status indicator. The tool tracks events like thinking, editing, and test runs — updating your Discord profile in real-time without any manual intervention required. The setup is refreshingly hands-off: install globally with npm i -g vibecoder-discord-presence, run the install command, and as long as the Discord desktop app is running, your status updates automatically. No daemon to manage, no tray icon to babysit. A lightweight background process reads marker files written by event hooks and exits once you've been idle for a bit. Privacy was clearly a priority in the design. The default 'minimal' theme shares absolutely nothing about your work — no project names, file paths, or filenames make it to Discord. Anything beyond that is opt-in, and there's zero telemetry built into the package. You control exactly what shows up on your status card. Five themes come baked in: minimal (privacy-safe), developer, focus, playful, and chaos. If none of those fit your vibe, you can customize every line, image, and button through a live preview config tool. The CLI offers commands for install (vdp install), customization (vdp config), status checks (vdp status), and process control (vdp stop/vdp restart). The architecture uses a provider model — adding support for new AI coding tools only changes how events are read, not the underlying Discord integration. Right now Claude Code is fully supported, while Gemini CLI, Codex, and OpenCode are marked as planned. PRs are welcome if you want to speed up support for your preferred tool.

Key Takeaways

  • Works out of the box with Claude Code; just keep Discord desktop running
  • Privacy-first default: minimal theme shares nothing about your work
  • Provider model architecture makes adding new AI tools straightforward
  • MIT licensed and open to contributions

The Bottom Line

This is peak vibes culture — the kind of niche tooling that makes the hacker community fun. Whether you actually want your squad knowing you spent three hours debugging a regex is a personal choice, but if you're the type who runs top in terminal just to watch processes, this one's for you.
