Paddock AI

Desktop app that races Claude Code agents around Spa-Francorchamps

9.1Overview
Paddock AI is a desktop app that wraps Claude Code and turns every running agent into a race car on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The metaphor is load-bearing: planning is a pit stop, executing is a hot lap, tokens are fuel, and errors raise yellow or red flags over the track. Type a prompt, hit run, and watch the agent drive its lap in real time. Each prompt spawns its own car, colored and shaped by model family, so an Opus run and a Sonnet run can share the track at once with separate fuel gauges and transcripts. Follow-up messages resume the same agent, and a weather overlay shifts as error states pile up across the grid. It is built as a native shell in Tauri and Rust, with a Pixi.js canvas for the track and React for the panels, driving the claude CLI as a streaming subprocess.
