Finished / needs your input
You don’t have to watch your agents. NeuroSquad lets you know when one of them needs you — and it tells the two cases apart:
Two kinds of signal
The agent has completed its turn and is waiting for your next prompt. The status chip turns green.
The agent has stopped halfway and is asking you something — usually for permission, like “may I run this command?”. The chip turns amber and the card pulses. The notification shows what it’s asking, and it stays on screen until you answer, because a blocked agent won’t unblock itself. Once you answer, it goes away by itself.
Claude Code tells NeuroSquad exactly which of the two it is. For other agents, NeuroSquad notices when the agent has gone quiet and treats it as finished.
How you’re told
- a short sound (Chime, Ping or Marimba),
- the card glows, and a dot appears next to the agent in the sidebar,
- a desktop notification — click it and the canvas flies straight to that card,
- the notifications bell in the top bar keeps a list of what happened,
- optionally, a message to Slack or Discord through a webhook,
- optionally, a message in Telegram — for when you’re away from your desk.
Each of these can be switched on or off in Settings → Notifications.
Catching up quickly
- CtrlShiftJ — fly to the agent that has been waiting the longest.
- CtrlShiftA — the “needs attention” inbox: every waiting agent in one list.
- The Inbox section of the sidebar shows the same list.
Need quiet for a while? A flow timer holds the “finished” pings until your focus block ends.
