I built a status line that pays you while your AI coding agent thinks

说明与用途

该工具通过在状态行显示赞助商信息来实现对 AI 编码代理空闲时间的变现，并自动分配收益。

问题

Developers using AI coding agents like Claude Code or Copilot CLI often see a spinner that does nothing while the agent thinks, wasting potential revenue opportunities.

结果

The tool monetizes idle AI agent time by displaying sponsor messages in the status line, automatically splitting earnings, and paying out based on real screen time.

工作流

• Run npx trymeanwhile to wire into the agent’s statusLine setting.
• The tool displays rotating tips and sponsor lines while the agent thinks.
• Sponsor lines are labeled as sponsored and earnings are split 50/50.
• Earnings are paid out automatically after the line stays on screen for 10+ seconds.
• Use npx trymeanwhile claim to check earnings.
• Restart the tool to continue earning.
• Provide feedback on concurrency bugs or patterns.

证据

npx trymeanwhile wires into Claude Code's (or Copilot CLI's) own supported statusLine setting -- nothing patches your machine.

来源

The whole thing only bills a line if it actually stayed on screen for 10+ seconds -- so it's tied to real thinking time, not just an API call firing.
