The agent mode especially during the slow requests should ring an chime, saying that “I am done”, whether it has completed the implementation or ran out of max allowed requests.

So that I can take a quick coffee break and know it’s time to go back at desk!

Hey, there isn’t built-in functionality for this yet, but it might appear in future releases. In the meantime, you can try this extension:

Until we have a native solution, I put together a simple extension that provides feedback when Chat / Composer has a change ready to accept: [Composer Boop - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=outrageouslyfrench.composer-boop) I couldn’t get access to everything I wanted to do via Code’s extension API, but it’s been working pretty well for me so far.

Chime will be super helpful!  
Maybe with an option or with some defaults like:

- If the window is out of focus
- If it took the agent more than 30 seconds to process the request

I have established a workflow where I give the agent a task and it’s working on it sometimes for 3-7 minutes by itself.  
And I found that I’m wasting quite some time when either I need to just look at it like running and fixing tests and cannot do anything productive.  
Or I do something productive, forgetting about the chat and despite it being done in 3 minutes, I’m checking only after 10 minutes - those extra minutes add up and I’m completing the task with a significant delay.

Some chime indicating that user input is required now would be a perfect solution, or maybe a "jumping icon” ( not sure how it’s called on Macs) - it would be ideal.

Please consider implementing that to make your awesome tool even better 🙂

Btw [Composer Boop](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=outrageouslyfrench.composer-boop) no longer works at least for me

Ah, yeah it looks like some of the events I was leaning on changed since I initially put this together. The **good news** is that it looks like this functionality now exists natively within Cursor and has been working pretty well for me.

Look for **Play Sound on Finish** in `Cursor Settings > Features` if you haven’t enabled it yet!
