Elise

A female-voice OpenPeon sound pack for Claudette, featuring the Elise voice from ElevenLabs.

About

Claudette supports custom notification sound packs in the OpenPeon format. This pack replaces the default notification sounds with spoken-word cues from the Elise voice, giving your Claude Code sessions a calmer, more conversational feel than synthesized blips and beeps.

If you spend hours a day in Claudette, the audio character of your notifications matters more than you'd think. This pack is for people who want their tools to feel a little more human.

Installation

In-app (recommended)

1. In Claudette, open Settings → Notifications → Sound Packs
2. Browse the OpenPeon community packs and install Elise from the in-app browser
3. Set Elise as your active pack

Manual (clone)

Claudette stores sound packs in ~/.claudette/packs/ and picks up new packs automatically — no restart needed. The directory name must match the manifest's name field (openpeon-elise-soundpack), otherwise Claudette's pack-management UI won't be able to find or remove it later.

macOS / Linux:

mkdir -p ~/.claudette/packs
git clone https://github.com/utensils/openpeon-elise-soundpack.git \
  ~/.claudette/packs/openpeon-elise-soundpack

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone https://github.com/utensils/openpeon-elise-soundpack.git `
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.claudette\packs\openpeon-elise-soundpack"

Then open Settings → Notifications → Sound Packs in Claudette and select Elise as your active pack.

To update later, git pull inside the pack directory. To uninstall, delete the directory.

Requires a version of Claudette with OpenPeon community pack support.

What's included

This pack covers the five CESP categories defined in openpeon.json, each with four phrasing variants so the same line doesn't repeat back-to-back. Claudette picks one of the four at random per event.

input.required — agent needs your input

Polite, attention-getting, not alarming. Plays when Claudette needs you (permission prompts, questions).

1. "I have a question for you."
2. "Could you take a look at this?"
3. "Got a sec? I need your input."
4. "Quick question when you're ready."

task.acknowledge — plan ready for review

Signals "I've thought about this — please approve." Plays when an agent has drafted a plan and is awaiting your sign-off.

1. "Here's the plan — mind reviewing it?"
2. "I've put together a plan for you."
3. "Ready when you are — plan's drafted."
4. "Take a look at my plan when you have a moment."

task.complete — work finished

Satisfying, conclusive, mildly proud. Plays when an agent finishes and hands control back.

1. "All done!"
2. "Task complete."
3. "Finished — back to you."
4. "Wrapped it up."

task.error — something went wrong

Apologetic and clear without being dramatic — you'll read the error yourself anyway.

1. "Hit a snag — could use your help."
2. "Something went wrong."
3. "Ran into a problem."
4. "Sorry, that didn't work."

session.start — new session begins

Greeting energy, ready-to-work.

1. "Ready when you are."
2. "Let's get started."
3. "Hi — what are we working on?"
4. "Standing by."

Customization

OpenPeon packs are just structured archives — the openpeon.json manifest plus an mp3 per labeled variant. You can swap individual sounds without rebuilding the whole pack: drop a replacement mp3 into sounds/ under the same filename and the manifest will continue to point at it. See the OpenPeon documentation for the full pack format spec.
