I Made Claude Code Ding When It's Done (And It Changed My Workflow)

This article was originally published on . It's brilliant at crunching through multi-file refactors, running tests, and fixing bugs. But here's the thing - when Claude finishes a task or has a question, it just... sits there. Silently. Like a polite intern who finished their work but doesn't want to interrupt your YouTube rabbit hole.

I needed a way for Claude to tap me on the shoulder. Something that says "Hey, I'm done" or "Hey, I need you" without me obsessively watching the terminal.

The Fix: 5 Lines of JSON

Claude Code has a hook system. I already wrote about I set up earlier, my ~/.claude/settings.json now looks like:

CODE Kopieren

{

  "hooks": {

    "Stop": [

      {

        "hooks": [

          {

            "type": "command",

            "command": "afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Funk.aiff",

            "timeout": 5

          }

        ]

      }

    ],

    "PreToolUse": [

      {

        "matcher": "Bash",

        "hooks": [

          {

            "type": "command",

            "command": "~/.claude/block-git.sh",

            "timeout": 10

          },

          {

            "type": "command",

            "command": "~/.claude/block-cd.sh",

            "timeout": 10

          }

        ]

      }

    ]

  }

}

PreToolUse hooks keep Claude safe. Stop hooks keep me in the loop. Together they make Claude Code feel less like a tool and more like a teammate who knows when to wait and when to nudge.

These are the little things that make your day as a nerdy engineer. A five-line config change, a system sound you've heard a thousand times, and suddenly your entire AI-assisted workflow just clicks. It's not a groundbreaking feature. It's not going to make the front page of Hacker News. But it'll save you dozens of context-switch minutes every single day, and you'll wonder why you didn't set it up sooner.

Have you set up Stop hooks yet? What sound did you pick? Drop a comment - I'm genuinely curious what sounds people gravitate toward. Bonus points if you went the espeak route and have Claude literally talking to you.
