peon-ping-config

Update peon-ping configuration settings.

Config location

The config file is at ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/hooks/peon-ping/config.json.

Available settings

• volume (number, 0.0–1.0): Sound volume
• active_pack (string): Current sound pack name (e.g. "peon", "sc_kerrigan", "glados")
• enabled (boolean): Master on/off switch
• pack_rotation (array of strings): List of packs to rotate through per session. Empty [] uses active_pack only.
• pack_rotation_mode (string): "random" (default) picks a random pack each session. "round-robin" cycles through in order. "agentskill" uses explicit per-session assignments from /peon-ping-use; invalid or missing packs fall back to active_pack and the stale assignment is removed.
• categories (object): Toggle individual CESP sound categories:
  • session.start, task.acknowledge, task.complete, task.error, input.required, resource.limit, user.spam — each a boolean
• annoyed_threshold (number): How many rapid prompts trigger user.spam sounds
• annoyed_window_seconds (number): Time window for the annoyed threshold
• silent_window_seconds (number): Suppress task.complete sounds for tasks shorter than this many seconds
• session_ttl_days (number, default: 7): Expire stale per-session pack assignments older than N days (when using agentskill mode)
• desktop_notifications (boolean): Toggle notification popups independently from sounds (default: true)
• use_sound_effects_device (boolean): Route audio through macOS Sound Effects device (true) or default output via afplay (false). Only affects macOS. Default: true

How to update

1. Read the config file using the Read tool
2. Edit the relevant field(s) using the Edit tool
3. Confirm the change to the user

Common Configuration Examples

Disable desktop notification popups but keep sounds

User request: "Disable desktop notifications"

Action: Set desktop_notifications: false in config

Result:

• ✅ Sounds continue playing (voice reminders)
• ❌ Desktop notification popups suppressed
• ✅ Mobile notifications unaffected (separate toggle)

Alternative CLI command:

bash
1peon notifications off
2# or
3peon popups off

Adjust volume

User request: "Set volume to 30%"

Action: Set volume: 0.3 in config

Enable round-robin pack rotation

User request: "Enable round-robin pack rotation with peon and glados"

Action: Set:

json
1{
2  "pack_rotation": ["peon", "glados"],
3  "pack_rotation_mode": "round-robin"
4}

Directory pack bindings

Permanently associate a sound pack with a working directory so every session in that directory uses the right pack automatically. Uses the path_rules config key (array of { "pattern": "<glob>", "pack": "<name>" } objects).

CLI commands

bash
1# Bind a pack to the current directory
2peon packs bind <pack>
3# e.g. peon packs bind glados
4# → bound glados to /Users/dan/Frontend
5
6# Bind with a custom glob pattern (matches any dir with that name)
7peon packs bind <pack> --pattern "*/Frontend/*"
8
9# Auto-download a missing pack and bind it
10peon packs bind <pack> --install
11
12# Remove binding for the current directory
13peon packs unbind
14
15# Remove a specific pattern binding
16peon packs unbind --pattern "*/Frontend/*"
17
18# List all bindings (* marks rules matching current directory)
19peon packs bindings

Manual config

The path_rules array in config.json can also be edited directly:

json
1{
2  "path_rules": [
3    { "pattern": "/Users/dan/Frontend/*", "pack": "glados" },
4    { "pattern": "*/backend/*", "pack": "sc_kerrigan" }
5  ]
6}

Patterns use Python fnmatch glob syntax. First matching rule wins. Path rules override default_pack and pack_rotation but are overridden by session_override (agentskill) assignments.

List available packs

To show available packs, run:

bash
1bash "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/hooks/peon-ping/peon.sh packs list
