tokenop — the Token Op Arcade

You're feeding your AI tokens into the machine.

You might as well play a game while it loads — a whole arcade, right in your terminal. tokenop drops a game in a new window while your agent works, and clears it the moment it's done.

▶ Insert token $ how it works
$ curl -fsSL https://tokenop.dev/install.sh | sh

// runs in your terminal · macOS + Terminal.app · `tokenop disable` to stop

SETUP

Three commands. Then ready to play.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

01

install

curl … | sh drops the tokenop binary in ~/.local/bin. One file, lives right in your terminal — nothing to build.

02

enable

tokenop enable wires a Claude Code hook (merge-safe — your other settings are untouched). Reverse anytime with tokenop disable.

03

wait → play

Submit a prompt: a game pops in a new window while the agent works, and closes when it stops. tokenop set pong to pin one, or keep the selector.

THE CABINET

Four games. One quarter… er, token.

Outrun the wait. Jump the cacti, duck the birds, watch the sun set.

Mind the gap. One tap up, gravity does the rest.

SPECS

$ tokenop --help

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

// what you're actually installing
  • ▸All in the terminal. The whole arcade runs in Terminal.app — no browser, no app window, no tab to lose.
  • ▸Auto-open, auto-close. Pops on prompt, vanishes on stop — kill-before-close, so no "terminate process?" nag and no leftover windows.
  • ▸Merge-safe hooks. enable/disable edit ~/.claude/settings.json without touching a single other key.
  • ▸Your pick. tokenop set <game> to pin one, or leave it on the arcade selector to choose each time.
  • ▸Controls that don't feel like 1983. Jump-buffering, coyote time, fixed arrow-key lag — proven by in-engine autopilots.
  • ▸macOS + Terminal.app. Window magic via osascript. Run tokenop doctor if anything looks off.
