Agent Player Achievements (AGPA) 🏆

Without AGPA ❌

• No visibility into your coding habits across sessions

• Can't track progress — getting faster? Using more tools? No way to know

• No motivation to explore your agent's full feature set

• Same routine every day — no surprises, no milestones

With AGPA ✅

• Auto-tracking — every tool call, file edit, and git commit logged automatically

• Steam-style dashboard — XP bar, levels, streaks, heatmaps, achievement showcase

• 217 achievements across 11 categories — from "Hello World" to "Completionist"

• Instant feedback — terminal popups, macOS notifications, 8-bit sounds on unlock

agpa init

# Option B: clone and link (recommended for contributors)
git clone https://github.com/eiainano/AgentPlayerAchievements.git

How It Works

Your Coding Session
  │
  ├─ You code, agent responds — every action is tracked
  │   └─ dual-channel: MCP tools + Hook events
  │
  ├─ Session ends → engine evaluates 217 achievements
  │   └─ unlocked? → macOS notification 🎉
  │
  └─ agpa dashboard → view, sort, filter, share

Two data channels → one engine → one dashboard:

Both channels write to the same ~/.agent-achievements/ event log. The engine evaluates 12 condition types against 217 achievements.

Features

• 🎮 Achievement Dashboard — XP bar, level, streak, activity heatmap, rarity breakdown, showcase

• 🏆 217 Achievements across 11 categories — from "Hello World" to "Completionist"

• 🔥 GitHub-style activity heatmap — 4 months of coding activity at a glance

• 📸 Share Card — dark/light themed, bilingual, downloadable PNG

• 🔊 8-bit sound effects & notifications — rarity-graded retro sounds + desktop push notifications on unlock

• 📂 Multi-profile — up to 4 profiles, switch anytime (work, personal, experimentation)

Supported Tools

All five tools have full dual-channel coverage except Hermes (no hook API). For any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, etc.), MCP-only tracking works out of the box — you just miss hook-based auto-tracking.

agpa init auto-detects Claude Code and registers both channels. For manual setup:

MCP config (~/.claude/.mcp.json or project-root .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Hook registration — agpa init adds hook entries to your Claude Code settings. Verify with agpa verify.

These editors support MCP but don't expose hook APIs for auto-tracking. You get tool-call tracking via MCP.

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

These tools support TS plugins for hook-level auto-tracking. agpa init registers the plugin + MCP config.

Manual MCP config (opencode.json or Kilo Code settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The TS plugin (registered by agpa init) handles PostToolUse, SessionStart, SessionEnd, and other hook events automatically.

Hermes does not expose a hook API. MCP-based tracking covers tool calls and session events.

MCP config (~/.hermes/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw supports a plugin system for hook-level tracking. agpa init registers both the plugin and MCP config.

Manual MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Server

AGPA runs a Model Context Protocol server (stdio transport) that exposes 7 tools for any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and more.

Quick start with any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agpa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eiainano/agpa", "agpa-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Already installed AGPA globally? Run agpa-mcp directly. The server auto-detects your active profile and tool source.

Community Packs

Anyone can create and share achievement packs. Drop a YAML file into ~/.agent-achievements/packs/ to install:

agpa pack list              # list installed packs
agpa pack info <id>         # show pack details

See Creating Achievement Packs for the pack format spec, event type catalog, and 12 condition types.

Dashboard

agpa dashboard           # default :3867

🔒 Security & Privacy

• Local-first — All event data stays in ~/.agent-achievements/. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no network calls at runtime.

• Auditable — The engine is pure TypeScript functions operating on JSONL files. No obfuscation, no binary blobs.

• Minimal dependencies — 5 runtime dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, yaml, zod, figlet, tsx) — all widely audited.

• STDIO isolation — The MCP server communicates via standard I/O only. No HTTP endpoints exposed.

• Hook sandbox — The Hook CLI runs as a sub-millisecond subprocess — it cannot persist state or access the network.

• Supply chain — No native modules, no postinstall scripts, no binary downloads at install time.

To report a vulnerability, see SECURITY.md.

FAQ

Q: Does this slow down my agent? A: No. The Hook CLI is a sub-millisecond subprocess. The MCP server runs on STDIO with zero network overhead.

Q: Can I use it with multiple agents? A: Yes. The init wizard auto-detects Claude Code, Kilo Code, OpenCode, Hermes, and OpenClaw. Each can have its own profile.

Q: My achievements aren't unlocking? A: Run agpa doctor — it diagnoses tracking status, hook registration, and event coverage.

Q: How is this different from WakaTime or coding activity trackers? A: WakaTime tells you what you did — hours, languages, projects. AGPA makes it fun — XP, levels, achievements, streaks, and Steam-style dopamine hits. It's gamification layered on top of your existing workflow, not another dashboard to check. Think of it as the difference between a fitness tracker's raw step count and a Pokémon Go badge — same data, different experience.

Q: Can I customize achievement names? A: Yes. /customize page in the dashboard lets you rename any achievement.
