how it works (for the sigma devs)
sounds queue up automatically. no overlap. your agent can fire multiple sounds and they play one after another. sheesh.
teach your agent to troll you 💀
drop a .instructions.md in your repo (with applyTo: "**" in the frontmatter) and your agent will play sounds **while it works**. imagine: vine boom when it finds a bug. sad trombone when your tests fail. rick roll mid-code-review for absolutely no reason.
check our myinstants.instructions.md for the full unhinged setup. your agent will never be an NPC again. 🏆
