 "title": "Test the vibration engine with a mock controller",
 "page_title": "How to test the vibration engine with a mock controller with Vibeclaude",
 "summary": "Run a fake Intiface Central server and the test suite to check the daemon without any device.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to change or debug the plugin's daemon but has no vibration device on hand.",
 "problem": "Testing the vibration engine normally needs real hardware, which slows down every change.",
 "outcome": "A mock Intiface server prints the motor level it would have sent, and the test suite runs against it.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/transkatgirl/vibeclaude.git ~/.claude/vibeclaude` and then `cd ~/.claude/vibeclaude && npm install`.",
  "In one terminal, run `node test/mock-intiface.mjs 12345` to start the fake Intiface Central with one device.",
  "In a second terminal, from the same directory, run `npm test`.",
  "Read the motor levels the mock prints and compare them with the patterns in the README table."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the transkatgirl/vibeclaude repo, start node test/mock-intiface.mjs 12345 in the background, then run npm test. Report the test result and the motor levels printed by the mock. Verify that the mock printed at least one motor level value.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The mock only prints what it would have felt, so it does not confirm how a real device feels.",

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Claude Code with function-hooks plugin support (the README says it is an early-access API, built against 2.1.291)",
  "Node.js 22+ available as node on your PATH",
  "Intiface Central installed, with its WebSocket server running at ws://127.0.0.1:12345",
  "A vibration-capable controller paired in Intiface Central",
  "A private setting where you are comfortable using the device"
