## Summary

Someone used Claude Code to vibecode directly in the OpenCat ESP32-S3 firmware of the Quaddle mini robot dog, creating a Halloween skull-eyes expression in about 12 minutes through six prompts. The robot dog's open-source ESP32-S3 firmware will be released in early December, at which point others will be able to reproduce the same process.
