Content

Early access. A mod is a complete Claude Code plugin built on function hooks (Anthropic's mods/ layout); it loads in Claude Code 2.1.259+ with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 and the $ API may still change between releases. Hooks module: hooks/register.tsx. Run claude plugin validate on the installed folder to see every event it hooks and every $ call it makes.

snake

Snake above the Claude Code prompt, for the minutes Claude spends working: eat, grow, and keep off the walls and yourself. The game pauses and its status line says so when Claude finishes the turn, so you never miss a reply. Playing costs no tokens: the mod answers every key and click itself.

A single game split out of sezaakgun/cc-arcade (MIT, by Seza Akgün). Want all nine games, a picker and the pet in one plugin? Install games/cc-arcade instead.

Play

/snake opens the board above the prompt (/snake stop or the close button closes it).
Click the board to give it the keyboard; Esc gives the keyboard back to the prompt.
arrows steer, Space or p pauses, r restarts. Eat the red food, keep off the walls and your own tail.

Your best score is kept in the plugin's store across sessions.
