Every listed sound gets generated.

↻ Runs by itselfnew sound request listed

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

new sound request listed. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ new sound request listed
  • new line added to loops/sound-effects-loop/board.md

02

It checks its work

audio file exists, no error. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓output audio file exists and is not empty
  • ✓duration_seconds is between 0.5 and 30 or left on auto
  • ✓prompt_influence is between 0 and 1
  • ✓the call returned no 401, 422 or 429 error

03

It remembers

sound request board. The next run reads it first: open sound requests and the settings used for finished ones.

loops/sound-effects-loop/board.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after ten sounds per run, with at most two retries per sound.

  1. 01

    Read the board

    The agent picks the open sound requests from the board.

  2. 02

    Sharpen the prompt

    Each request gets a specific description with elements, style and mood.

  3. 03

    Set parameters

    It chooses duration_seconds, prompt_influence, loop and an output format for each sound.

  4. 04

    Generate

    It calls the text to sound effects convert function through the SDK or the elevenlabs CLI.

  5. 05

    Check the file

    The hard checks confirm the file is there and no error came back.

  6. 06

    Update the board

    Finished sounds move to done with their prompt and settings.
