I used Claude Code's hooks to pause a terminal game the moment my agent finishes

Описание и применение

<p>Claude Code and Codex often take a few minutes on a task. In that time I either stare at the spinner, or switch to another tab and forget to come back for ten minutes.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Agent Arcade</strong>: tiny terminal games to play during the wait. The useful part isn't the game. It's that the game <strong>pauses and tells you the moment your agent is done or needs you</strong>, so the break never runs long.</p> <p>This post is about how that works, because the same trick (an agent hook that writes a file, something else that watches it) is handy for a lot more than games.</p>
