Feature request for product/service

Cursor CLI

Describe the request

Claude Code has two things that seem minor but have a pretty big effect on my workflow when running multiple agents and worktrees simultaneously:

  • Status indicator in terminal tab when agent/command is running
  • OS notification when agent/command is done and waiting for input

Interesting that you’re asking Cursor to reach parity with Claude Code on this. On the Claude Code side, a lot of us still don’t get native completion notifications reliably either (the Notification hook silently drops in the VS Code extension in some setups). That’s why I wrote a small VS Code extension that listens to PermissionRequest / Stop / UserPromptSubmit / PostToolUse and plays distinct sounds per event.

Per-VS-Code-window scoping means running multiple worktrees each with their own Claude Code session gets you a separate audible “this window needs you” without hunting tabs. Free, OSS, cross-platform. Marketplace: AI Agent Sound Notification - Visual Studio Marketplace. Repo: GitHub - mayerwin/AI-Agent-Sound-Notification: VS Code extension that plays a distinct sound when Claude Code requires your authorization — configurable delays, back-off repeats, and Windows Focus Assist awareness. · GitHub.

Ah yeah, I ended up hacking something together myself that uses Cursor hooks.
