Alternatively if you're on a Mac and don't want to use audio, you can also just add a Notification Hook (/hooks)

  osascript -e 'display notification "Waiting..." with title "Claude Code"'

[1] - https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/resolute/en/man1/notify...

On a Mac, you can add sound to the notification:

osascript -e 'display notification "Ready" with title "Claude Code" sound name "Glass"'

(you may need to first use the OSX Script Editor to manually run display notification "Ready" with title "Claude Code" sound name "Glass" to get the Mac to show a permission request dialog for the notifications)

Had Claude web put a PR together. I'll test it a bit next. Getting the hooks config to work and figuring out a test flow for plugins was the hard part. https://github.com/Sevii/agent-marketplace/pull/4/files#diff...

Pushed a new plugin elevator-notifications to the repo/marketplace. I'm seeing notifications in notification center (had to turn mac notifications back on to test). Looks like I could fine tune the actual notification content a bit more but it's working on my machine.

I've set up per-project hooks that use `say` to alert me that "X is done" and "X needs help". Very useful!

This is fun. A small cautionary tale from telecom history though. Once pleasant waiting exists, it quietly becomes acceptable waiting, then longer waiting, then a product requirement. Suddenly latency isn’t a bug, it’s an opportunity for vibes. Would hate to see 'AI thinking music' evolve into the modern equivalent of hold music designed less to soothe and more to make us tolerate delays that should’ve been fixed instead.

I use Beads with Claude Code + Zed, and just brain dump to Claude to make a bunch of tasks with Beads, I have Claude ask me clarifying questions, then I let Claude go to town. Sometimes I let Claude work in parallel but APC seems to sometimes not like that not sure why.

Love this. I guess I need to build the happy Gilmore meme audio now. “Welllll?!!! We’re waiting!!”

I was imagining the Jeopardy theme.

this reminds me of one of my favourite features of Buildkite. When you're waiting on the outcome of a build you can click a button in Canvas mode and it'll play a tune to accompany the build. As soon as the build is done, the music stops.

is really well thought out - means I can turn the volume up and go do the dishes in the next room and be notified when I should return. Much more useful than a browser notification

I sense a branding opportunity here... We already have "elevator music" to designate generic production-music-slop, so what will the next step be?

"OpenAI anything" seems a bit too much, yet "Claude somesuch" or "Grok horrifying" don't work either.

HN Branding Experts, what do you say?

Of course it’s vibe music!
