RTS Sounds Config

Config file: ~/.claude/rts-sounds.json

If user wants to VIEW current config

Read ~/.claude/rts-sounds.json using the Read tool. If the file doesn't exist, report defaults:

• volume: 0.7
• pack: mixed
• headphones_only: false
• categories: all enabled

If user wants to CHANGE config

1. Read ~/.claude/rts-sounds.json (or create it with defaults if missing)
2. Edit the requested field(s) using the Edit tool
3. Confirm the change

Available settings

• volume (0.0–1.0): Sound volume. Example: 0.5
• pack (mixed, peon, scv, trek): Which sound universe to use. mixed picks randomly from all.
• headphones_only (true/false): Only play when headphones/external audio detected (macOS).
• use_sound_effects_device (true/false): Route through macOS Sound Effects device instead of default output. Keeps notification sounds separate from music. macOS only.
• categories: Toggle individual events:
  • ready — session start
  • yes — prompt submitted
  • what — notification
  • complete — task done
  • error — tool failure
