This could be helpful for anybody who likes to multitask while coding.
I built a notification sound ("ping") to play whenever Claude Code finished a task or completed a response. I did this to make sure I always came back to the chat as it responded.
I built this by simply prompting Claude something like: "Play a ping sound notification whenever you complete a task or finish your response".
It's literally that easy to build nowadays!
I noticed that when creating a new chat instance (/new), the notification sound stopped working.
To fix this, all I did was informally ask Claude Code: "Why isn't the ping sound playing when you complete a task?"
It then immediately diagnosed the problem, fixed the coding, fixed the directive prompts, and re-tested all in about 45 seconds.
The lesson: It's 2026, when your tools have AI built in, debugging is a conversation, not a search engine marathon. Welcome to the future lads. 😎
