“Work, work.”

That’s your Claude Code session finishing a task. Or maybe it was “Okie dokie.” Point is — you heard it. You didn’t miss it because you were tabbed into Twitter.

This is peon-ping: a Claude Code hook that plays Warcraft III Peon voice lines when your AI assistant needs attention. Session starts? “Ready to work?” Task finishes? “I can do that.” Needs permission? “Something need doing?”

The execution is clean. One curl command, works on macOS and WSL2. Sound packs include Peons, Human Peasants, StarCraft Battlecruisers, even Soviet Engineers from Red Alert 2. You can toggle sounds, adjust volume, and switch packs mid-session. Tab titles update too — so even if you’re muted, you see ● project: done.

Here’s what I like: it solves a real problem (AI running in background, you forgetting about it) with something that makes you smile. The “me busy, leave me alone!” easter egg when you pile on prompts? That’s peak nerd joy.

Is it practical? Absolutely. Does it feel like Orgrimmar in your terminal? Also absolutely.
