This extension provides a chimee tool that plays a simple completion chime. This is used to notify you when Gemini has finished a task, is waiting for your input, or has completed a long-running operation.

The extension works in two ways:

Gemini will automatically play a chime to notify you of certain events:

• Task Completion: A chime will play when Gemini has finished a task.
• User Input Required: A chime will play when Gemini is waiting for your confirmation or input.
• Long-Running Tasks: A chime will play when a long-running task has been completed.

You can manually trigger a chime by using the following command:

/chime:ding

or

add chimee after your prompt to trigger the chime sound.

To mute the chime, you can set the GEMINI_CHIME_MUTE environment variable to 1.

export GEMINI_CHIME_MUTE=1

Sometimes, the chimee tool may return the following error:

✕ [API Error: Model stream ended with empty response text.]

This is expected behavior and does not affect the functionality of the extension. The chime will still play as intended.

The chime extension works best for actions that do not require user confirmation. It functions as a "prehook", meaning the chime will sound before the action is executed. This is because there is currently no official "hooks" system in the Gemini CLI.
