Garden energy
What the VibeMon garden runs on: activity from your AI coding agents — edits, commits and passing tests — turned into energy that the slime gardeners spend.
Also known as: energy
Garden energy is the fuel of the VibeMon garden. When Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI edits a file, makes a commit or gets a test passing, that activity becomes energy. Commits and passing tests count far more than plain edits, so the garden follows finished work rather than raw typing volume.
The sprout-headed jelly slime and its gardener friends spend that energy on their own: they plant, water, prune, harvest and build decor, following the gardener focus you picked. Resting never hurts — when the energy stops, nothing wilts and nothing punishes you.
