Agent Ping is a plugin marketplace entry that alerts solo builders with sound and OS notifications when Claude Code stops, notifies, requests permission, or errors.
About
Agent Ping is a Claude Code marketplace plugin that plays customizable sounds and optional OS notifications when the agent needs you—after a reply, on notifications, permission gates, or errors. Developers shipping with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or JetBrains can install it in two commands, verify with a trivial prompt like “What is 2 + 2?”, and tune behavior through /agent-ping:config without touching project source. It does not replace monitoring stacks or team chat; it solves the specific problem of silent terminals during long agent runs. Because it attaches to the agent surface rather than one product phase, it stays useful from prototype spikes through review and production iteration. MIT-licensed, version 2.1.1, maintained by David Wilsby as a focused attention layer on top of your existing workflow.
- Zero-config marketplace install—sounds play automatically after /plugin install agent-ping
- Four alert events: stop, notification, permission request, and error
- Interactive /agent-ping:config for sounds, volume, and OS notification banners
- Cross-platform macOS, Linux, and Windows across Claude Code CLI and major editors
- No repo clone required—add marketplace DavidWilsby/agent-ping from the agent

What it does
Install when you run long Claude Code sessions and need audible or banner alerts the moment Claude stops, asks for permission, or hits an error.
Who is it for?
Best when you're running unattended or semi-attended Claude Code sessions across CLI and editors and want passive attention without building custom hooks.
Skip if: Skip if you need centralized incident paging, chat integrations, or in-repo CI failure alerts instead of desktop agent notifications.

- Repeatable install path documented in the marketplace README quick start
