4 use cases

  • Play Doom deathmatch while Claude runs tasks

    Install the plugin on macOS and get dropped into a shared Doom game each time Claude is busy.

    View prompt
    In the Claude Code session, install the plugin from jarrodwatts/intermission using the marketplace install command, then run /intermission. Confirm the game pane opens after Claude starts a task of a few seconds. Report whether the pane appeared and whether /intermission off stops it.

  • Set up Intermission on Windows with Rio

    Install Rio, add the ConPTY files and the Visual C++ Redistributable, then enable pictures for Claude Code.

    View 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.

  • Self-host the Intermission game server

    Use deploy.sh to build and run the stock Odamex server on your own droplet.

    View prompt
    Clone jarrodwatts/intermission, read deploy.sh, and summarize every command it runs before anything executes. Then run it on the <droplet-host> target only after I approve, and report whether the Odamex server process is running.

  • Study or rebuild the Odamex changes for the mod

    Apply engine/odamex.patch to the named Odamex commit to see or reproduce the headless engine changes.

    View prompt
    Clone jarrodwatts/intermission and Odamex, check out the commit listed in engine/odamex-commit, apply engine/odamex.patch, and report whether the patch applies cleanly. Summarize where frames are written and verify the GPL-2.0 note applies to the engine changes.
