daedalus
Diagnose and configure audio notifications and speech feedback for Claude Code sessions.

daedalus
Example session with this skill installed
Daedalus isn't making any sounds when I'm in another window. Can you check why?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the daedalus
I will check the system status and recent logs to see why the audio notifications are failing during window switches.
Diagnostic Report
| Component | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Daemon | Running | PID: 48291, Port: 47113 |
| Audio Backend | afplay | Resolved (macOS) |
| Speech Backend | say | Resolved (macOS) |
| Focus Backend | osascript | Resolved |
| Config Errors | None | All keys in .toml are valid |
Log Analysis (Last 5 events):
perm focus=focused label=- -> earcon=none speech=False (terminal focused; a tone is enough)perm focus=unfocused label=daedalus -> earcon=needs_you speech=True (waiting on you, and you're away)turn took 1.2s, under the 3.0s threshold (short turns are silent by design)
The logs show that turns under 3.0 seconds are being suppressed by your min_turn_seconds setting. Additionally, when your terminal is focused, speech is disabled because the system assumes you are watching the output.
Next steps

About this skill
The Daedalus skill helps you manage and fix the Daedalus audio plugin for Claude Code. Users often struggle with silent notifications, unwanted speech, or incorrect focus detection when using multiple terminal panes. This tool provides the specific commands and diagnostic steps needed to tune the background daemon and its audio backends.
What it does
- System diagnostics through a doctor command to identify missing audio, speech, or focus dependencies.
- Log analysis to explain why specific sounds were triggered or suppressed based on turn duration and window focus.
- Configuration management for adjusting turn duration thresholds, sound packs, and speech escalation.
- State control to persistently mute or unmute audio feedback and test speaker output.
How it works
- Run
daedalus doctorto check the status of audio backends and daemon connectivity. - Inspect
~/.daedalus/daedalus.logto find the specific reasoning behind recent audio decisions. - Edit
~/.daedalus.tomlto modify behavior likemin_turn_secondsor sound packs. - Use the
muteorunmutecommands to toggle the persistent state of the background monitor.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is purpose-built for Claude Code. It interacts with Python 3.11+, TOML configuration files, and OS-native audio utilities like afplay, paplay, spd-say, and xprop.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic AI models do not know the internal logic of the Daedalus daemon or its specific log format. This skill correctly interprets complex log strings like focus labels and loopback socket states that standard prompts would hallucinate.
Use cases
- Fix missing sound notifications when the terminal is not in focus.
- Stop the agent from speaking during short, repetitive turns.
- Change the audio pack to a quieter volume for open-office environments.
- Troubleshoot why speech-to-text isn't working on specific Linux distributions.
Known limitations
Only works with Claude Code. Requires local installation of the Daedalus plugin in the user home directory. Speech on Linux requires specific packages like speech-dispatcher or espeak.
