Who it is forA developer whose AI coding agent is waiting for a yes or no decision while they are away from the desk.
The problemSwitching windows to answer a single approval prompt interrupts focus and wastes time when the agent is idle.
The outcomeThe developer presses the OK or NG button and gets distinct sound and haptic feedback confirming the decision.
What you need first
- M5Stack StopWatch
- A macOS computer with Bluetooth
- PlatformIO Core installed
- A USB connection between the StopWatch and the computer for upload
Steps
- Pair the StopWatch with the Mac as described in the build and pair steps.
- Press both hardware buttons together to enter the Action layer.
- Press the blue right button for OK to approve, or the orange left button for NG to reject.
- Listen for the rising square-wave phrase for OK or the falling phrase for NG and feel the haptic response to confirm the choice.
Prompt for your agent
Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo as the wrist controller, confirm the pending agent approval in <agent session> by pressing OK on the watch. Report whether the agent continued to its next step. Verify the agent output shows the approval was received.
Caveat. The README does not say which AI agents receive OK or NG presses, so confirm your agent host accepts this input before relying on it.
Use this in your AI agent
Ask your agent
Using the Deduped MCP, get the setup steps for GOROman/vibewatch and "Approve or reject agent actions with physical buttons"
