 "title": "Set up Intermission on Windows with Rio",
 "page_title": "How to set up Intermission on Windows with Rio with Intermission",
 "summary": "Install Rio, add the ConPTY files and the Visual C++ Redistributable, then enable pictures for Claude Code.",
 "who": "A Windows 10 or 11 x64 developer who uses Claude Code and wants the game pane to show pictures.",
 "problem": "Rio needs extra setup on Windows before the game's pixels display, and Claude Code only sends pictures to recognized terminals.",
 "outcome": "Rio shows the game pane inside Claude Code, and /intermission turns the mod on after the setup is complete.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Rio and the Visual C++ Redistributable with `winget install -e --id raphamorim.rio`.",
  "Copy conpty.dll and OpenConsole.exe next to rio.exe, following the README commands for the Microsoft ConPTY package, in PowerShell run as administrator.",
  "Add `env-vars = [\"CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_TERMINAL_IMAGES=1\"]` at the top of %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\rio\\config.toml, in Rio only.",
  "Open a new Rio window, start `claude`, and run `/plugin install intermission --marketplace jarrodwatts/intermission`.",
  "Run `/intermission` to turn it on. If the command is missing, add \"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1\" to the same env-vars list."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "On this Windows machine, follow the intermission README Windows steps for Rio, then run /intermission in Claude Code from jarrodwatts/intermission. Confirm both conpty.dll and OpenConsole.exe are beside rio.exe and that the game pane shows pictures. Report any step that failed.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README warns that with only conpty.dll, Rio falls back to the Windows console host, which strips the pictures out, so both files are required.",
 "category": "Games and hobbies",
 "tags": [
  "Games and hobbies"
 ],
 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Claude Code 2.1.287 or later",
  "macOS 15 or later in Ghostty or kitty, or Windows 10 or 11 x64 in Rio",
  "Internet access for the first-time game download (about 20 MB) and the UDP connection to the intermission server"
