My AI agent kept waiting on me. I built a VS Code extension to fix that.

I kept missing Claude Code prompts.

I'd kick off a long task, switch windows, come back 10 minutes later — and Claude had been sitting at (y/n) the whole time.

So I built Notification Bell: a VS Code extension that plays a sound and shows an OS notification the moment your AI agent needs you.

Install

Search "Notification Bell" in the VS Code Extensions view, or:


bash
code --install-extension chahe-dridi.agent-confirm-sound
GitHub: https://github.com/chahe-dridi/vscode-agent-bell

It's open source and has a bunch of good first issues open if anyone wants
to contribute — adding new agent patterns, platform-specific fixes, new commands.

Would love feedback from anyone using Claude Code, aider, or other terminal agents.
