*** Notifications
When my /artificial intern/ completes a task, I have long since nipped out to the kitchen, put the kettle on ... buttering scones... and getting crumbs and bits of food out of those round brown straw mats that the teapot goes on.
I would like the /intern/ to notify me when it needs attention, so I noticed the [[https://github.com/zackattackz/agent-shell-notifications/][agent-shell-notifications]] project can connect the =agent-shell= project with the [[https://github.com/konrad1977/knockknock/][knock-knock]] project (which is similar to my [[https://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/beep-for-emacs.html][beep project]]).

I might switch to [[https://github.com/cxa/agent-shell-macext#start-of-content][agent-shell-macext]] if I can’t get KnockKnock to work well on my Linux system.
