> My personal favorite hooks though are these:

  "Stop": [
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "afplay -v 0.40 /System/Library/Sounds/Morse.aiff"
      }]}],
  "Notification": [
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "afplay -v 0.35 /System/Library/Sounds/Ping.aiff"
      }]}]

These are nice but it's even nicer when Claude is talking when it needs your attention

Easy to implement -> can talk to ElevenLabs or OpenAI and it's a pretty delightful experience

If you're on a Mac, it can speak the notification instead for more detail!

``` "hooks": { "Notification": [ { "hooks": [ { "type": "command", "command": "jq '.message' | say" } ] } ] } ```

thanks man! I've actually gone a bit further with hooks and speech synthesis

https://hooked.arach.dev/ and https://speakeasy.arach.dev/ - it's a fun setup

Hah! I’ve done something similar. I created a bunch of pre-defined voice messages with Eleven Labs and then have a script that randomly calls them via the same hooks.

nice, next step is to write a custom function that derives a useful but repeatable message from the hooks and put a little cache in front the Eleven Labs message gen. For example: "In {Project}, Claude needs your permission to run {command}"

That way you can stay comfortably in the free plan with awesome voice messages

I have a different voice for my laptop compared to my main computer and can also pick per project

Omg, this is so great, that you so much! Gonna set up a bunch of A320 warning sounds to scare me in case I am idle for too long :)
