Stop babysiting your terminal
AI coding agents don’t notify you when they finish tasks or need permission. You tab away, lose focus, and waste 15 minutes getting back into flow. PeonPing fixes this with voice lines and bold on-screen banners from Warcraft, StarCraft, Portal, Zelda, and more — works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Amp, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP client.Installation

How it works
PeonPing hooks into your AI coding agent and plays sounds + shows notifications when key events happen:| Event | CESP Category | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Session starts | session.start | ”Ready to work?”, “Yes?”, “What you want?” |
| Task finishes | task.complete | ”Work, work.”, “I can do that.”, “Okie dokie.” |
| Permission needed | input.required | ”Something need doing?”, “Hmm?”, “What you want?” |
| Tool or command error | task.error | ”I can’t do that.”, “Son of a bitch!” |
| Rate or token limit hit | resource.limit | ”Zug zug.” (pack dependent) |
| Rapid prompts (3+ in 10s) | user.spam | ”Me busy, leave me alone!” |
