Claude Skins

Claude Skins

Custom skins (visual themes) for Claude Code CLI.

Skins transform the full Claude Code experience — terminal colors, ASCII art banners, themed status lines, Claude's voice/personality, and tool feedback sounds. They don't affect core behavior — just how things look, sound, and feel.

Inspired by hermes-skins. Mythos and Netrunner banner art adapted from that project under MIT license.
