Agent Ping
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.
Overview
Agent Ping is a plugin marketplace entry for the Build phase that alerts solo builders with sound and OS notifications when Claude Code stops, notifies, requests permission, or errors.
What is this marketplace?
- 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
- Marketplace bundle lists 1 plugin (agent-ping)
- Supports 4 distinct alert event types
- Reported release line version 2.1.1 on the public README badge
Community signal: 4 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Long agent sessions leave you guessing whether Claude is done, blocked on approval, or failed while you cook, walk the dog, or context-switch to another tab.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running unattended or semi-attended Claude Code sessions across CLI and editors who want passive attention without building custom hooks.
Skip if: Teams needing centralized incident paging, chat integrations, or in-repo CI failure alerts instead of desktop agent notifications.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You hear or see an immediate alert on the four supported events and can configure volume and banners so you only return when the agent actually needs you.
- Live stop, notification, permission, and error alerts without custom hook code
- Saved preferences from /agent-ping:config for sounds, volume, and banners
- Repeatable install path documented in the marketplace README quick start

Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Build because Agent Ping extends the Claude coding agent environment via marketplace plugins, alongside skills and MCP—where solo builders wire tooling into their daily ship loop. Agent-tooling fits zero-config notification hooks that work in Claude Code CLI and editor integrations without changing your app code.
How it compares
Claude Code attention plugin marketplace bundle, not an MCP server or reusable agent skill file.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Agent Ping for?
It is for indie developers and solo builders using Claude Code (CLI or editor plugins) who want audio and OS banners when the agent finishes or blocks on permissions.

Use it whenever you start multi-step agent work and might step away—refactors, reviews, prototypes, or long debug loops where silent waits waste time.
How do I add Agent Ping to my agent?
Run /plugin marketplace add DavidWilsby/Agent Ping then /plugin install Agent Ping; test with a short prompt and open /Agent Ping:config to adjust sounds.
