Use when the user wants to install, repair, or re-apply WispTerm notification reminders (Claude Code Stop + Notification, and Codex turn-complete) in a local WSL/macOS/Linux/PowerShell shell or a saved WispTerm SSH profile, so finishes and confirmation prompts surface inside WispTerm.

WispTerm Notify Setup

Overview

Install a small notifier that makes Claude Code and Codex surface a WispTerm notification (OSC 777 toast + terminal bell badge) when a turn finishes or a confirmation is needed. The notifier is agent-agnostic and the installers are idempotent — safe to re-run.

Workflow

  1. Determine the target from the user's words and WispTerm state.

    • If the user names an existing WispTerm tab/server/profile (for example CPU3), call terminal_list first and match by title/kind.
    • If a saved SSH profile is named but no SSH tab is already open, call ssh_profile_connect {"profile_name":"<name>"} and use the returned surface_id.
    • Never ask the user to re-provide SSH host/user/port/password when the target is an existing saved WispTerm profile. Ask only if the profile is missing or authentication fails.

  2. Install using the target-specific transfer path.

    • Local POSIX / macOS / WSL: copy the bundled POSIX scripts directly to the target shell, then run:

      sh ./install-wispterm-notify.sh

      When targeting an already-open WSL surface, use wsl_session_exec to run commands in that surface. Do not use scp for WSL.

    • Local Windows PowerShell: copy the bundled PowerShell scripts directly to the Windows profile and run install-wispterm-notify.ps1 with powershell_exec:

      powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-wispterm-notify.ps1

    • Remote saved SSH profile: use scp, not pasted heredocs, to transfer the bundled POSIX scripts to the remote server, then run the POSIX installer in that SSH session. From Windows/WispTerm, prefer the bundled profile-aware helper because it reads %APPDATA%\wispterm\ssh_hosts, decodes the saved profile, supports saved-password profiles via SSH_ASKPASS, and uses scp.exe/ssh.exe without connection sharing:

      powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-wispterm-notify-remote.ps1 -ProfileName "CPU3"

      If you are already inside the SSH tab, you may run the final installer with ssh_session_exec after the scp upload.

  3. Relay what it changed: the notify program path (~/.config/wispterm/wispterm-notify.sh on POSIX/remote, %APPDATA%\wispterm\wispterm-notify.ps1 on Windows), which Claude Code hooks were added vs already present, and whether Codex's notify was added, already set, or left untouched (a pre-existing different notify is never overwritten).

  4. Verify — run the printed test command and ask the user to confirm they saw a bell badge / toast in WispTerm:

    echo '{"hook_event_name":"Notification","title":"WispTerm","message":"setup ok"}' \
  | ~/.config/wispterm/wispterm-notify.sh

WeChat forwarding (optional)

In addition to the in-terminal toast/bell, WispTerm can forward each agent finish / confirmation notification to a WeChat account you've already bound to WispTerm's built-in iLink direct connection — no third-party relay.

Prerequisites (all required):

  1. A WispTerm build that includes notification → WeChat forwarding.
  2. weixin-direct-enabled = true in your WispTerm config.
  3. Scan the QR (WispTerm's WeChat panel) to bind your WeChat account.
  4. Set weixin-allowed-user = <your iLink user id> — forwarding needs a bound owner as the push destination. The "auto-bind the first sender as owner" path is not yet wired, so the owner must be set explicitly here; while it is empty, pushes are silently skipped.
  5. weixin-notify-forward = true in your WispTerm config.
  6. Keep desktop-notifications = on (default) — forwarding rides the same notification pipeline and is skipped when desktop notifications are off.

Behavior: a push is sent only when the notification is from this notifier, the binding is live with a bound owner, and you are not actively viewing that pane (window unfocused, or a different tab/split). The phone message is <title>\n<body>, e.g. Claude Code / 完成，轮到你了.

Verify: run the test command below to trigger one notification while the WispTerm window is unfocused, and confirm the message arrives in WeChat.

Notes

  • Where it shows: only when Claude Code / Codex run inside WispTerm. The rich OSC 777 toast needs a WispTerm build with OSC 9/777 support; older builds still get the bell badge from the BEL.
  • Idempotent: re-running won't duplicate hooks; existing hooks and a pre-existing Codex notify are preserved.
  • Backups: settings.json.bak / config.toml.bak are written before edits.
  • Dependencies: the POSIX installer prefers python3 for the JSON merge, falls back to jq, then to printing a manual snippet. The PowerShell installers use built-in PowerShell JSON/text handling.
  • SSH transfers: keep OpenSSH stderr visible. Do not add ControlMaster/ControlPersist/ControlPath to ssh.exe/scp.exe.
