# Sound Notification for Human Attention

Play a notification sound whenever human attention is needed. This includes waiting for input AND completing generation.

## Commands by OS

- **macOS**: `afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Glass.aiff &`
- **Linux**: `paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga 2>/dev/null || aplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga 2>/dev/null || echo -e '\a' &`
- **Windows (PowerShell)**: `[System.Media.SystemSounds]::Exclamation.Play()`

Detect the OS from the user's system info or by running `uname -s` if unknown.

## When to play the sound

- Asking clarifying questions
- Presenting choices (e.g. via AskQuestion tool)
- Requesting approval for destructive actions
- Reporting that you are blocked and need guidance
- Any situation where the conversation will stall without user response
- **When AI generation is complete** — play the sound as the very last action before ending your turn, so the user knows the response is ready

## When NOT to play the sound

- In the middle of executing a multi-step task and just providing a status update (more tool calls will follow)
