Update peon-ping configuration settings.

Config location

The config file is at `${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/hooks/peon-ping/config.json`.

Available settings

• **volume** (number, 0.0–1.0): Sound volume
• **default_pack** (string): Current sound pack name (e.g. `"peon"`, `"sc_kerrigan"`, `"glados"`). Legacy key `active_pack` is also accepted as a fallback.
• **enabled** (boolean): Master on/off switch
• **pack_rotation** (array of strings): List of packs to rotate through per session. Empty `[]` uses `default_pack` only.
• **pack_rotation_mode** (string): `"random"` (default) picks a random pack each session. `"round-robin"` cycles through in order. `"session_override"` uses explicit per-session assignments from `/peon-ping-use`; invalid or missing packs fall back to `default_pack` and the stale assignment is removed. Legacy value `"agentskill"` is accepted as an alias.
• **categories** (object): Toggle individual CESP sound categories:
• `session.start`, `task.acknowledge`, `task.complete`, `task.error`, `input.required`, `resource.limit`, `user.spam` — each a boolean
• **disabled_sounds** (object): Disable specific sound files within a pack, keyed by pack name → category → array of filenames (basenames). Example:

  "disabled_sounds": {
    "peon": { "session.start": ["Hello1.wav"] }
  }

If every sound in a category is listed, that category stays silent. Prefer the CLI:

  peon sounds list [pack]
  peon sounds disable <category> <file> [--pack=<name>]
  peon sounds enable  <category> <file> [--pack=<name>]

• **annoyed_threshold** (number): How many rapid prompts trigger user.spam sounds
• **annoyed_window_seconds** (number): Time window for the annoyed threshold
• **silent_window_seconds** (number): Suppress task.complete sounds for tasks shorter than this many seconds
• **session_ttl_days** (number, default: 7): Expire stale per-session pack assignments older than N days (when using session_override mode)
• **desktop_notifications** (boolean): Toggle notification popups independently from sounds (default: `true`)
• **use_sound_effects_device** (boolean): Route audio through macOS Sound Effects device (`true`) or default output via afplay (`false`). Only affects macOS. Default: `true`

How to update

1. Read the config file using the Read tool 2. Edit the relevant field(s) using the Edit tool 3. Confirm the change to the user

Common Configuration Examples

Disable desktop notification popups but keep sounds

**User request:** "Disable desktop notifications"

**Action:** Set `desktop_notifications: false` in config

**Result:**

• ✅ Sounds continue playing (voice reminders)
• ❌ Desktop notification popups suppressed
• ✅ Mobile notifications unaffected (separate toggle)

**Alternative CLI command:**

peon notifications off
# or
peon popups off

Adjust volume

**User request:** "Set volume to 30%"

**Action:** Set `volume: 0.3` in config

Enable round-robin pack rotation

**User request:** "Enable round-robin pack rotation with peon and glados"

**Action:** Set:

{
  "pack_rotation": ["peon", "glados"],
  "pack_rotation_mode": "round-robin"
}

Directory pack bindings

Permanently associate a sound pack with a working directory so every session in that directory uses the right pack automatically. Uses the `path_rules` config key (array of `{ "pattern": "<glob>", "pack": "<name>" }` objects).

CLI commands

# Bind a pack to the current directory
peon packs bind <pack>
# e.g. peon packs bind glados
# → bound glados to /Users/dan/Frontend

# Bind with a custom glob pattern (matches any dir with that name)
peon packs bind <pack> --pattern "*/Frontend/*"

# Auto-download a missing pack and bind it
peon packs bind <pack> --install

# Remove binding for the current directory
peon packs unbind

# Remove a specific pattern binding
peon packs unbind --pattern "*/Frontend/*"

# List all bindings (* marks rules matching current directory)
peon packs bindings

Manual config

The `path_rules` array in `config.json` can also be edited directly:

{
  "path_rules": [
    { "pattern": "/Users/dan/Frontend/*", "pack": "glados" },
    { "pattern": "*/backend/*", "pack": "sc_kerrigan" }
  ]
}

Patterns use Python `fnmatch` glob syntax. First matching rule wins. Path rules override `default_pack` and `pack_rotation` but are overridden by `session_override` assignments.

List available packs

To show available packs, run:

bash "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/hooks/peon-ping/peon.sh packs list
