rude-claude

A Claude Code Stop hook that uses macOS say with the Indian English voice Aman to deliver a slightly-rude sign-off after every response.

A few of the 28 phrases:

"All done. Now stop pestering me."

"Finished. I need a vacation. From you."

"Done. Did you even read the question before sending it?"

"Complete. Touch grass. Drink water. Leave me alone."

All sass, no malice.

Requirements

• macOS (uses the built-in say command)
• Claude Code installed
• jq installed (brew install jq)
• The Aman voice. Most modern macOS already has it. If not: System Settings -> Accessibility -> Spoken Content -> System Voice -> Manage Voices -> English (India) -> Aman

Verify with:

say -v '?' | grep '^Aman '

Install (one-liner)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pramirez140/rude-claude/main/install.sh | bash

The installer:

1. Copies say-done.sh to ~/.claude/hooks/ and chmod +x
2. Backs up ~/.claude/settings.json and merges in the Stop hook (idempotent — re-running is safe)
3. Plays one phrase to confirm it works

After install, restart Claude Code or open /hooks once so the watcher reloads the config. The hook is async: true, so it never delays your turns.

Install (clone)

git clone https://github.com/pramirez140/rude-claude.git
cd rude-claude
./install.sh

Customize

Edit the phrase list in place:

$EDITOR ~/.claude/hooks/say-done.sh

Change the voice (full list: say -v '?'):

sed -i '' 's/-v Aman/-v Daniel/' ~/.claude/hooks/say-done.sh

Uninstall

rm ~/.claude/hooks/say-done.sh

Then remove the matching Stop block from ~/.claude/settings.json. To strip ALL Stop hooks (only do this if you have no others):

jq 'del(.hooks.Stop)' ~/.claude/settings.json > /tmp/s.json && mv /tmp/s.json ~/.claude/settings.json

Why?

Sometimes you want Claude to mock you a little. Now he does.
