Code On Wow (CoW)

Code On Wow (CoW)

Chat with Claude Code or Codex from inside World of Warcraft (Retail) through a popup window. Send a task, keep playing, and get an alert when the agent replies.

Requires the CoW desktop app

WoW addons cannot run programs or reach the network, so this addon does nothing on its own. The free CoW desktop app (Windows and macOS) runs the agent on your PC and talks to the addon. Download it here: https://cow.aitorpoquet.dev/

Setup

1. Install and log in to at least one agent: Claude Code and/or Codex.
2. Install and start the CoW app. It finds your WoW folder and installs the addon files it needs.
3. After the first install, fully quit and start WoW once (WoW only sees new addon files at game start).
4. macOS: run "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CoW.app" in order to allow the system to run it safely
5. macOS: grant Screen Recording access when asked. The app reads only a thin message strip the addon draws, only while WoW is focused, and stores nothing.
6. In the app, open Projects and add the folders the agent may work in.
7. In game: /reload, then /cow.

Features

• Up to 16 chats, each with its own folder, agent, model and history.
• Alerts, minimap dot and a narrator panel when a reply arrives while the popup is hidden.
• Agents are read-only by default; turn on "Allow edits" in the app to let them change files.
• Quest log, map markers and leveling guides the agent can use.

The addon only uses documented addon APIs. Nothing is typed into the game, so your character never moves.
