Simple Notifications

Sends desktop notifications when Claude Code finishes or needs you.

Installation
npx claude-code-templates@latest --hook automation/simple-notifications --yes

This hook uses the Stop and Notification events from Claude Code. It reacts when the agent finishes its work or when it needs your reply.

It fires a native system notification, using osascript on macOS or notify-send on Linux. That way you do not have to keep watching the terminal all the time.

When to use

  • When you switch windows while the agent works.
  • When you want to be alerted the moment your attention is needed.

How to use

After installing, notifications appear automatically on the finish and input-request events. Works on macOS and Linux.
