Intermission
Intermission is a Claude Code plugin that launches a Doom deathmatch game while AI agents work.
Intermission is a Claude Code plugin that opens a Doom deathmatch game in a terminal pane while Claude works. When tasks finish or require input, the plugin returns control immediately. It uses Odamex with Freedoom maps and monster-filled servers to keep matches active. The system requires macOS 15 or later, Ghostty or kitty terminal, and Claude Code 2.1.287 or later. It connects via UDP to a shared server without transmitting session data.
