Capslkagent
Capslkagent is a status light tool that turns a keyboard Caps Lock LED into an agent state indicator.
Capslkagent turns a light on a keyboard into a status light for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, pi, oh-my-pi, Amp, or opencode. Users can glance down to see if the agent is working, waiting for input, or finished. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows as a small Rust binary with no runtime dependencies beyond the OS. On Mac laptops, it can drive the keyboard backlight instead of the Caps Lock LED. It communicates with agent events to turn the light on, off, or blink when attention is needed.
