DoomPrompting

Automatically opens distracting media while Claude thinks. Windows close when response finishes.

Why? You're gonna doomscroll anyway. Might as well automate it.

How it works

1. You send a prompt to Claude Code
2. Chrome windows open in 4 corners (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit)
3. Claude finishes responding
4. Windows auto-close

Session time is logged for shame/accountability.
