Claude Code tends to be just slow enough you have time to tab away and get distracted. This plugin uses Claude Code's hooks to play music when Claude is waiting for user input so you don't just leave it sitting for 15 minutes.

Alternatively if you're on a Mac and don't want to use audio, you can also just add a Notification Hook (/hooks)

  osascript -e 'display notification "Waiting..." with title "Claude Code"'

I use Beads with Claude Code + Zed, and just brain dump to Claude to make a bunch of tasks with Beads, I have Claude ask me clarifying questions, then I let Claude go to town. Sometimes I let Claude work in parallel but APC seems to sometimes not like that not sure why.

Love this. I guess I need to build the happy Gilmore meme audio now. “Welllll?!!! We’re waiting!!”

This is fun. A small cautionary tale from telecom history though. Once pleasant waiting exists, it quietly becomes acceptable waiting, then longer waiting, then a product requirement. Suddenly latency isn’t a bug, it’s an opportunity for vibes. Would hate to see 'AI thinking music' evolve into the modern equivalent of hold music designed less to soothe and more to make us tolerate delays that should’ve been fixed instead.

this reminds me of one of my favourite features of Buildkite. When you're waiting on the outcome of a build you can click a button in Canvas mode and it'll play a tune to accompany the build. As soon as the build is done, the music stops.

is really well thought out - means I can turn the volume up and go do the dishes in the next room and be notified when I should return. Much more useful than a browser notification

I sense a branding opportunity here... We already have "elevator music" to designate generic production-music-slop, so what will the next step be?

"OpenAI anything" seems a bit too much, yet "Claude somesuch" or "Grok horrifying" don't work either.
