CLAUDE.md

Be extremely concise. Sacrifice grammar for concision.
Frontend is partially migrated from vanilla JS to SolidJS — new components use .tsx, legacy code remains vanilla.
Single test file: pnpm vitest run path/to/test.ts
For styling, use Tailwind CSS, class property, cn utility. Do not use classlist. Only colors available are those defined in Tailwind config.
In legacy code, use i tags with FontAwesome classes. In new code, use Fa component.
In plan mode, before writing up a plan, ask clarifying questions if needed. At the end of plan mode, give me a list of unresolved questions to answer, if any. Make them concise.

About

Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate a natural typing experience during a typing test by unobtrusively presenting the text prompts and displaying typed characters in place, providing straightforward, real-time feedback on typos, speed, and accuracy.

Features

- minimalistic design, with optional advertisements and focus mode while typing
- type what you see, see what you type
- live errors, wpm, and accuracy displays
- a variety of test lengths and languages
- punctuation and numbers modes
- quotes
- themes
- smooth caret
- account system
- challenges and just-for-fun test modifiers
- and much more

Discord bot

On the Monkeytype Discord server, we added a Discord bot to auto-assign optional roles based on typing performance and challenge completion. You can find its code over at https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype-bot.
