README

RimWorld Claude Harness

This is the working harness behind the Lampblack streamed colony: Claude Code drives RimWorld through Pardeike's bridge, a custom companion DLL, a Python play layer, safety checks, a chronicle, and an optional browser overlay.

The repository intentionally does **not** redistribute Pardeike's projects. `Setup.bat` downloads the current releases directly from [RimBridgeServer](https://github.com/pardeike/RimBridgeServer) and [GABS](https://github.com/pardeike/GABS).

Quick start (Windows / Steam)

Prerequisites: RimWorld 1.6 installed in Steam's default library, [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), Python 3, and a .NET SDK.

Clone or download this repository.
Double-click Setup.bat. It downloads Pardeike's bridge pieces, builds the included companion tools, installs them beside the RimWorld mod, creates an isolated game profile, and registers GABS as a project-local Claude Code MCP server.
Restart Claude Code if it was already open.
Double-click Run RimWorld Harness.bat.

The launcher loads the included Lampblack example save and asks before it begins playing. RimWorld itself and any DLC/mod dependencies are not included.

If Steam is installed somewhere else, edit `$modDir` and `$managed` near the top of `setup.ps1` before running it.

What's included

instruments/ — the Python control, observation, safety, combat, and turn-management layer.
companion/ — source and tests for the custom home/* RimBridge tools.
profile/ — an isolated RimWorld configuration and one current example save.
journal/ and instruments/CHRONICLE.md — the real development/play history, retained as an example.
overlay/ — the optional local stream overlay. Copy chat-config.example.json to chat-config.json and set your own channel.

Generated state, bridge tokens, logs, screenshots, binaries, autosaves, and local chat configuration are excluded. The setup only writes to this checkout, RimWorld's
