peon-ping

English | 한국어 | 中文 | 日本語

Game character voice lines + visual overlay notifications when your AI coding agent needs attention — or let the agent pick its own sound via MCP.

AI coding agents don't notify you when they finish or need permission. You tab away, lose focus, and waste 15 minutes getting back into flow. peon-ping fixes this with voice lines and bold on-screen banners from Warcraft, StarCraft, Portal, Zelda, and more — works with Claude Code, Amp, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Grok Build, Cursor, OpenCode, Kilo CLI, Kiro, Kimi Code, Windsurf, Google Antigravity, Rovo Dev CLI, DeepAgents, Qwen Code, iFlow CLI, Trae, Kiro IDE, ECA, and any MCP client.

Install

Option 1: Homebrew (recommended)

brew install PeonPing/tap/peon-ping

Then run peon-ping-setup to register hooks and download sound packs. macOS and Linux.

Option 2: Installer script (macOS, Linux, WSL2)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PeonPing/peon-ping/main/install.sh | bash

⚠️ WSL2 audio notes. peon-ping plays audio on the Windows side. On first run it probes your Windows host once (cached per Windows build) to pick the best playback path:

• On Windows 10 / Windows 11 pre-24H2, WPF MediaPlayer is used directly — native MP3 + WAV, no extra dependencies.

• On Windows 11 24H2+ (build 26100+), Microsoft removed legacy Windows Media Player from the OS and WPF MediaPlayer fails (MILAVERR_INVALIDWMPVERSION). peon-ping falls back to System.Media.SoundPlayer, which uses the Win32 PlaySound API and works everywhere — but it's WAV-only, so MP3 packs require ffmpeg to transcode on the fly:

  sudo apt update; sudo apt install -y ffmpeg
  

You can override the auto-detection with PEON_WSL_AUDIO_BACKEND=auto|mediaplayer|soundplayer:

• auto (default) — probe + cache as described above
• mediaplayer — force WPF MediaPlayer over the WSL UNC path (fails silently on 24H2+)
• soundplayer — force tmpfile copy + SoundPlayer (universal, requires ffmpeg for non-WAV files)

Option 3: Installer for Windows

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PeonPing/peon-ping/main/install.ps1" -OutFile ".\install.ps1" -UseBasicParsing
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1

Installs a curated starter set of packs by default. Re-run to update while preserving config/state. Or pick your packs interactively at peonping.com and get a custom install command.

Windows installer parameters:

• -All — install all available packs
• -Packs peon,sc_kerrigan,... — install specific packs only
• -Lang en,fr,... — install only packs matching language(s)
• -Local — install packs, config, hooks, and skills into ./.claude/ for the current project
• -Global — explicit global install (same as default)
• -InitLocalConfig — create ./.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json only

-Local does not install the global peon CLI shim or modify your user PATH. Hooks are registered in the project-level ./.claude/settings.json with absolute paths so they work from any working directory within the project.
