Introduction
intermission is a Claude Code function-hooks mod. After Claude has worked for about two seconds it opens a pane and drops you into an Odamex + Freedoom deathmatch on a shared server; when Claude finishes or needs you, control returns. The first run downloads about 20 MB of game assets and connects to the shared server. Needs macOS 15+, Ghostty or kitty, and Claude Code 2.1.287+. README has no full Security section; it clearly downloads files and uses the network. Not run-tested. Preview is illustrative.
