Can I customize the icons and emojis?

Absolutely. You can choose between 'note', 'caution', and 'stop' icons, and the title supports any standard macOS emoji for better visual context.

Does this skill work inside tmux sessions?

Yes, it specifically uses 'reattach-to-user-namespace' to ensure that AppleScript commands reach the macOS window server even when executed inside a tmux pane.

Will these notifications stay on the screen forever?

The implementation includes a 'giving up after 5' parameter, which automatically dismisses the dialog after five seconds to ensure your workflow isn't blocked.

Do I need to enable notifications in System Settings?

Because this method uses the 'display dialog' system event rather than the Notification Center, it typically does not require the standard notification permission setup.
