Good to know (3)
  • Server, auth and context errors bring the invitation too, so it does not mean you are offline.
  • Leaving the game does not pause it. Press P before you go back to work.
  • It needs a pane of at least 24 columns by 8 rows. VS Code chat, mobile and headless sessions do not run it.

How it works

  1. When a main turn ends in an error, a game invitation shows above the prompt
  2. Click it or run /token-run to open the game in a pane
  3. Space, Up or a click on the track jumps. P pauses, R restarts and Q closes
  4. Your best score is kept in the mod's local store across sessions

Common questions

Is there a game I can play inside Claude Code?

Token Run is a small ASCII runner you play in a pane inside Claude Code. Run /token-run to start it, or click the invitation that shows when a turn fails. The README says it makes no network or model calls once loaded.

Does the request failed invitation mean I'm offline?

No. The README says it shows after a main turn ends in an error, which can also be a server, authentication or context error. The mod adds no health checks or retries, and a later response shows a return-to-work notice without stopping the game.

How do I pause or close the game?

Press P to pause or resume and Q to close, or run /token-run close. Esc returns focus to the prompt, and a second Esc at an empty idle prompt closes the pane. Moving focus away does not pause the game on its own.

Does Token Run save my high score?

Yes. It keeps your best score in the mod's own local store, shared across its sessions. If a save fails it shows a warning and keeps the best score in memory, so the game stays playable.
