What is ai-micromanager?

A joke hook for Claude Code that nags with escalating manager-speak — voice, alerts, dialogs — after 5 seconds of 'delay.' Pure dev satire.

How do I install the Claude Code micromanager?

Grab the repo, drop hooks into Claude's dir, run on macOS. Python + osascript. Tweak for your OS.

Totally. Local only, kills clean. But it'll trigger PTSD — use at your own sanity's risk.
