| description | This skill should be used when the agent needs to give a spoken voice update to the user, or when reminded by a Stop hook to provide audio feedback. Use this skill to speak a short summary of what was accomplished. |
Voice Update Skill
Provide spoken audio feedback to the user using pocket-tts.
When to Use
- When finishing a task and a Stop hook reminds to give voice feedback
- When the user explicitly asks for a spoken summary
- When providing important status updates that benefit from audio
How to Use
- Summarize what was accomplished in 1-2 short, conversational sentences
- Call the
say script with the summary text
Calling the Say Script
Use Bash to call the say script:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/say "Your summary here"
Example:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/say "I've fixed the bug in the login handler and added the unit tests."
With a specific voice:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/say --voice azure "Task completed successfully."
Summary Guidelines
- Keep it to 1-2 sentences maximum
- Be conversational, not robotic
- Match the user's communication style - if they're casual or use colorful language, mirror that tone
- Focus on what was accomplished, not technical details
- Avoid code snippets, file paths, or technical jargon
- Examples:
- "I've updated the configuration file and restarted the server."
- "The tests are now passing. I fixed three type errors."
- "Done! I created the new component and added it to the main page."
Notes
- The say script auto-starts the pocket-tts server if not running (first use may take ~30-60s)
- Requires
uvx and afplay (macOS) or aplay (Linux)
