name: games description: Terminal arcade games to play while waiting for Claude to complete tasks

When the user wants to play games or kill time while waiting, launch the claude-games game menu. This opens an alternate terminal screen with two games:

  1. Claude Runner — The Claude sparkle mascot dodges code errors and syntax blocks in a side-scrolling runner
  2. Snake — GitHub contribution graph edition where food cells are mini Claude logos in terracotta

The games run entirely in the terminal using Ink/React components. They do NOT consume tokens, make API calls, or interfere with Claude's background work.

Controls:

  • Menu: Arrow keys or 1/2 to select, Enter to launch, Q/Esc to exit
  • Claude Runner: Space/Up to jump, Down to duck, Q/Esc to quit
  • Snake: Arrow keys or WASD to move, Q/Esc to quit
Install via CLI
