README
pi-ding
A pi extension that plays a sound when the agent finishes processing a prompt (when it’s ready for the next input).
Install
pi install npm:pi-ding
After installing, restart pi or run /reload inside pi.
Configure (recommended)
pi-ding stores its config inside pi’s settings files, so you can configure once and then just run pi.
Settings locations (project overrides global):
- Global:
~/.pi/agent/settings.json - Project:
<project>/.pi/settings.json
Add a ding key:
{
"ding": {
"enabled": true,
"player": "mpv",
"args": ["--no-video", "--really-quiet"],
"path": "~/sounds/done.mkv"
}
}
Notes:
argsis optional.- If
playeris omitted, pi-ding tries common players automatically (mpv,ffplay,paplay,afplay,aplay). - Supported audio formats depend on the chosen player.
Easiest way: edit from inside pi
Inside pi:
/ding edit→ edits project config (.pi/settings.json)/ding edit global→ edits global config (~/.pi/agent/settings.json)
Commands (inside pi)
/ding— toggle enabled (saved to project settings by default)/ding on//ding off— set enabled/ding test— play sound immediately/ding info— show debug info (effective config, resolved file, players)/ding reload— reload settings from disk
Optional CLI overrides
You typically won’t need these once config exists, but they can override settings for a single run:
pi --no-ding
pi --ding-player mpv --ding-path "./done.mkv"
pi --ding-args '["--no-video","--really-quiet"]'
