Warcraft III Peon Voice Notifications for Claude Code

Finally someone doing actual good work with LLMs instead of “Claude, shit me out another useless SaaS”.

Just as was foretold: an actual differentiator is creativity, not coding ability.

I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.

Love the idea, made a Windsurf-compatible version: https://github.com/ameshkov/peon-ping-windsurf

This is cool. I was tempted to try it until I saw the curl | bash pipe, then no. This workflow is getting really old.

I guess that I also don't want to pollute old good memories by associating them with work/Claude

I was kinda watching it unfold on X, I think this user was a couple days before https://x.com/delba_oliveira/status/2020515010985005255?s=46 and simpler/less-invasive instructions

Also, I'd love to use these sound effects, but I am an rts player and love aoe and wc franchise, these noises just trigger me to want to play too much.

Also, also, if you haven't seen AgentCraft, you are missing out -> https://x.com/idosal1/status/2021661861163544818 (worked in one npx command for me using my claude, a+ for creativity and smoothness)

Would love this with CS1.6 voices: "GO GO GO!", "The bomb has been planted", "Need backup"

My god I never realised how badly I wanted this until now. Only, with the voice of the Star Trek Computer. Elevenlabs, here I come..!

Edit: well that only took me 30 minutes. "Warning: ssh tunnel collapsed. Unable to proceed."

Nice.

> Claude Code doesn't notify you when it finishes or needs permission. You tab away, lose focus, and waste 15 minutes getting back into flow.

On macOS, in iTerm2, Claude will trigger notifications. I was impressed!

(and also annoyed: I don't like notifications. Then again, I don't have Claude do long things where I can go get a coffee)

Really cool, just one nitpick is that the "What do you want?" is used for 2 completely states (greeting and alert), which is not good UX-wise.

Otherwise totally fun idea!

Love this but i'm a Codex user, so forked and created the equivalent here: https://github.com/mrdavey/codex-peon

This is great! I already have Claude set up to use the "insufficient vespene gas" line from Starcraft when it needs permissions.

I need to check if I can voice clone warcraft peons with some tts-model. I need this everywhere.

What I really want is for the peon voice to be replicated and for custom things to be in that voice. Or even better, the starcraft battlecruiser guy's voice!

I'll be looking forward to making an Infested Terran sound pack.

This is amazing. Incidentally, I've always enjoyed Blizzard's UI art style/textures, in-game and on their website. To me it felt like a hallmark of the quality they used to hold their games to, and it was only once in a rare while I'd see some other website put so much work into their art direction

I knew I had to add GLaDOS as soon as I saw this. Unfortunately, while testing my PR I realized there’s no support for Linux. Hopefully someone smarter than me can get that added sooner rather than later.

I'd love to add some Linux support for this. If anyone else is interested in contributing, happy to coordinate.

Stronghold Crusader advisor would be much funnier: Token stocks are too low sire! Not enough tokens mi lord!

I just swapped all my Claude code spinner verbs to be Warcraft related and was thinking today how I could get it to say “Jobs done” when it needed my attention

This is the best thing I've ever seen xD

The StarCraft Battle Cruiser Engage sound is cut off which made me sad as it’s one of my favorites.

have been wondering what it would take to support linux

You sir, deserve a medal

This is exactly what I was missing!

I've made a PR to make it linux compatible if that is usefull to someone else :)

ISTR there's a "more gold is needed" voice sprite, ideal for out-of-tokens scenarios

Ok very cool!

I already had built a hook with desktop notification and window highlighting myself. But I have to admit, making it fun like this beats it by a lot.

I had wired up my local Claude Code instance to play back a sound on my Windows machine, but for my VPS-with-tmux-and-Clawdbot implementation, getting that to work... well, it just required me asking Claude to write an emitter script on the VPS and a listener script on my Windows box and have them connect over Tailscale and got it working in about 2 minutes. Game changer, honestly.

someone filed a PR to add TF2 engineer, good ol' times :')

Anthropic should release AI generated voice packs for Claude. I'm sure they'll be very popular.

Ah! I was hoping to see the science vessel, or as we used to call it, the Mr. Burns ship.

Awesome idea and well realised, love this :)

I use this analogy for Claude Code all the time! Amazing.

Taz Dingo man.

Everything in AI is built on copyright infringement, so redistributing Blizzard assets while slapping an MIT license on everything is par for the course.

Shouldn't the sound for when a task finishes be something like "Job done!"? Looking at the table it seems like it makes the sound for acknowledging that it's received an order (e.g. "I can do that").

Love this. I guess there was no application for "Me not that kind of Orc"? That's the best one, but maybe it has hints of homophobia.

Hmm, time to voice clone the Protoss advisor from StarCraft: "YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TOKENS"

Hahaha awesome!

This is cool and all, but I just dont understand why we cannot simply manage Claude Code sessions from the Claude phone.

Yes, I know about running CC on android phones or connecting the bot to your github account. But what I really need is to manage CC sessions I started on some random VM from the app.

Make it play "I am a medieval man" when it compacts.

You can also play "Your soundcard works perfectly" to test the sound output.

Is this singularity event everyone was talking about? Certainly feels like it

[dead]

The irony is that soon enough the human will be the peon! /s
