About this mod

Claude Counter-Strike

Counter-Strike 1.6 radio calls for Claude Code.

| When | You hear | | --- | --- | | Session starts | "Locked and loaded" | | A long turn finishes (45s+) | "Bomb has been defused" | | A turn errors | "Negative" | | You interrupt a turn | "Fall back" | | A deploy starts | "Fire in the hole" | | The deploy succeeds | "Counter-Terrorists win" | | The deploy fails | "Terrorists win" |

A deploy is any command Claude runs that looks like one: pnpm/npm/yarn/bun run deploy, wrangler deploy, vercel --prod, fly deploy, scripts/deploy.sh.

Install

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add ben-rogerson/claude-counter-strike
/plugin install cs-radio@cs-radio

Or from your terminal:

claude plugin marketplace add ben-rogerson/claude-counter-strike
claude plugin install cs-radio@cs-radio

Function-hook plugins (mods) are early access in Claude Code, so you need a recent build.

Sounds

Claude Counter-Strike looks for sounds in this order:

1. Valve's originals from your own Counter-Strike 1.6 install (they're not in this repo). It checks the usual Steam folders:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/cstrike/sound/radio
   • Linux: ~/.steam/steam/... or ~/.local/share/Steam/... (same path from steamapps on)

   If yours is somewhere else, set CS 1.6 radio folder in /config to the cstrike/sound/radio folder.

2. Bundled soundalikes in sounds/, used when no install is found. They were made for this repo with Kokoro (Apache-2.0) text-to-speech plus a radio filter, so they're free to redistribute. Regenerate them with uv run scripts/make-sounds.py (see the script header).

3. Your system voice, if a clip can't play.

Clip playback uses afplay, so wavs only play on macOS for now.

Commands

• /radio - toggle on/off (remembered across sessions)
• /radio on / /radio off
• /radio test - plays "Counter-Terrorists win" and tells you where the sounds come from

Options (/config)

• CS 1.6 radio folder - path to cstrike/sound/radio
• Long turn (seconds) - how long a turn runs before "Bomb has been defused" plays. Default 45.
