Enable Completion and Permission Alerts

TermSquad can tell you when a supported agent completes work or needs your attention. Each agent gets a lasting name that appears in its terminal tab, and a voice announces it by name, for example “Tony’s done” or “Tony needs you”. You can also turn on short sound effects.

Enable alerts

Open Terminal on your running computer as agent.
Open the terminal options and find Notifications.
Voice notifications are on by default. Sound effects are off by default; turn them on if you want them. The speaker button in the toolbar toggles sound effects only.
Click or tap in the terminal once so the browser can allow audio.
Keep the terminal connected, and check the device volume and the browser tab’s mute state.

Both preferences are stored for the browser and shared across its tabs. A different browser or device may need its own setup and user interaction. If a voice clip cannot play, TermSquad falls back to the sound effect when it is enabled.

Which events can alert me?

Alerts depend on the agent’s Herdr integration and reported events. They can cover completion and requests for permission or input.

Independent agents and the coordinating agent can produce notifications. Squad’s implementation and review workers are muted as individual notification sources to avoid flooding you with child-agent alerts. Inspect the coordinating session for their combined result.

An alert can occur even when the relevant agent is already visible. Read its terminal output to understand what happened.

What are the limits?

A suspended browser tab, sleeping device, disconnected terminal, or mobile background restriction can prevent an alert. Sound is not a guarantee of delivery while the app is closed.

If you need to know whether work finished, reopen the session and inspect its output. Dashboard status and audio are aids to that review.
