Just as was foretold: an actual differentiator is creativity, not coding ability.

First game that I knew of which had such fun details like that.

Once the novelty wore off, I found it more useful to hear per-project, event-specific messages. On macOS, that looks like this:

    {
      "Stop": [
        {
          "hooks": [
            {
              "type": "command",
              "command": "osascript -e 'say \"ProjectX work complete\" volume 0.25' > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "Notification": [
        {
          "matcher": "permission_prompt",
          "hooks": [
            {
              "type": "command",
              "command": "osascript -e 'say \"ProjectX needs help\" volume 0.5' > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

This is as much of a copyright violation as the LLM training process.

Did anyone vote an exemption from copyright if it's for "AI" use?

I really leaned into coding with agents last year, and after some time, it became evident to me that the vision now being pushed -- the "software factory" -- is where things will eventually end up. Building off that understanding, I began thinking about what interfaces would be necessary and useful for managing code and technology at that scale.

I keep coming back to the idea of a video game-like interface for managing all these agents and fleets of agents. Many of the information affordances in video games are reusable in other scenarios. So even though on the surface this project is 'just' a silly and fun enhancement, I think it’s actually a pretty serious contribution as well.

Edit: well that only took me 30 minutes. "Warning: ssh tunnel collapsed. Unable to proceed."

Nice.

I guess that I also don't want to pollute old good memories by associating them with work/Claude

Also, I'd love to use these sound effects, but I am an rts player and love aoe and wc franchise, these noises just trigger me to want to play too much.

Also, also, if you haven't seen AgentCraft, you are missing out -> https://x.com/idosal1/status/2021661861163544818 (worked in one npx command for me using my claude, a+ for creativity and smoothness)

I never tried playing the WCIII reboot after hearing some pretty bad reviews.

It was trickier than I expected, to get it working well: FFMpeg pipe streaming for low-latency playback, a three-hook injection strategy because the agent forgets instructions mid-turn, mkdir-based locks to queue concurrent voice updates from multiple sessions, and /tmp sentinel files to manage async playback state and prevent infinite loops.

It also lets you manage Claude notifications more gracefully than what you get out of the box with CC. Been lazy about putting the finishing touches on it so this is a good kick in the ass to get that done!

  on-notify=exec play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/complete.oga

>300 line bash script to hand hold a person who I would assume is capable of using the computer they are downloading a program in source form. 'git clone' followed by 'make install' or go home.

Usage: `~ my-bash-command; notify`

`.wav` snippet: https://gitlab.com/NeroVanbiervliet/linux-config/-/blob/mast...

Then it's just a simple Claude code hook to play whatever sound: https://github.com/CGamesPlay/dotfiles/blob/0fd07aea4863b581...

For when user attention is needed, I play a few seconds of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". =D

On macOS, in iTerm2, Claude will trigger notifications. I was impressed!

(and also annoyed: I don't like notifications. Then again, I don't have Claude do long things where I can go get a coffee)

I built something in the same space but took a different approach — less fun, more engineering: Vox (https://github.com/rtk-ai/vox) — local TTS in pure Rust, no API key, no cloud dependency.

Awesome idea and well realised, love this :)

Otherwise totally fun idea!

I already had built a hook with desktop notification and window highlighting myself. But I have to admit, making it fun like this beats it by a lot.

I've made a PR to make it linux compatible if that is usefull to someone else :)

I used the Tesla autopilot sound along with iterms notification feature which helps get to the waiting terminal if it's buried: https://github.com/gpurkins/waiting-for-claudot

I haven't played WoW since like 2006-2011 but I will always be Horde for life! Lok'Tar Ogar!

Yes, I know about running CC on android phones or connecting the bot to your github account. But what I really need is to manage CC sessions I started on some random VM from the app.

You can also play "Your soundcard works perfectly" to test the sound output.
