anime-tts Plugin Manager

Config file: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/config.json Env file: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.env Sounds dir: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/sounds/

Commands

/anime-tts or /anime-tts status

Read config.json and show current state: theme, enabled, volume, visuals, TTS state, voice name, which sound file is mapped to each event. List available themes and voices.

/anime-tts theme <name>

Switch theme. Read config.json, find the theme in themes, copy its sound mappings into sounds, set theme field. Available themes: default (chiptune synth), anime (CC0 OpenGameArt sounds), silent (visuals only). Save config.

/anime-tts sound <event> <path>

Override a single sound. Events: session_start, prompt_submit, pre_tool, post_tool, stop.

• If <path> is an absolute path or URL, copy it to sounds/custom/ and update config.
• If <path> is "default", revert that event to the current theme's default.
• If <path> is "off", set that event's sound to null. Show the user how to preview: afplay ~/Coding/anime-tts-plugin/sounds/custom/<file>.wav

/anime-tts volume <0.0-1.0>

Set volume in config.json. Validate range 0.0 to 1.0.

/anime-tts visuals <on|off>

Toggle terminal visual animations (sparkles, beams, etc.) independent of sound.

/anime-tts on / /anime-tts off

Toggle enabled in config. When off, all hooks skip sound, visuals, and TTS.

/anime-tts tts <on|off>

Toggle TTS narration. When on, Claude's response is summarized locally (fast regex extraction — no LLM call, no extra API cost) and spoken aloud via ElevenLabs when Claude finishes responding.

TTS ships disabled by default — users must run /anime-tts tts setup (or manually provide an API key + enable) before hearing anything.

/anime-tts tts setup

First-run onboarding. Walk the user through enabling TTS:

1. Check if ELEVENLABS_API_KEY is set (env var or .env). If missing, prompt: "Paste your ElevenLabs API key (get one at https://elevenlabs.io). I'll write it to .env." Then call /anime-tts tts key <pasted>.
2. Ask which voice they want. Show the list from /anime-tts tts voice. Default suggestion: rei.
3. Ask which events should speak. Default: ["stop", "error"] only (quiet). Offer to add session_start and prompt_submit for more chatter.
4. Set tts.enabled = true in config.json.
5. Run /anime-tts tts test to verify.

/anime-tts tts key <api_key>

Write the provided ElevenLabs API key to .env (create the file if missing, update the ELEVENLABS_API_KEY= line if present). Never echo the key back to the user — confirm with Key saved (sk_****...****). If the user passes no key, tell them the three ways to provide one:

• Run /anime-tts tts key sk_your_key_here
• Add ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here to ~/Coding/anime-tts-plugin/.env
• Export in shell: export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here

/anime-tts tts events <event1,event2,...>

Set which events trigger TTS. Valid: stop, error, session_start, prompt_submit. Update tts.on_events in config.json.

/anime-tts tts voice <name>

Switch TTS voice. Available voices from config.json tts.voices:

• rei — Rei Ayanami, soft breathy Japanese female, quiet monotone (default)
• sora — Calm Japanese anime male protagonist
• akira — Charismatic Japanese male
• yui — Bright cute Japanese female
• yuki — Youthful calm anime teen female
• dylo — Dark fierce young male
• itsuki — Energetic tomboyish anime girl
• aerisita — Kawaii bubbly feminine
• megumin — Theatrical chuunibyou explosion mage
• ritsuto — Anime prince Update tts.voice_id in config.json to the selected voice's ID.

/anime-tts tts volume <0.0-1.0>

Set TTS-specific volume in config.json tts.volume.

/anime-tts tts model <model_id>

Switch ElevenLabs model. Options: eleven_flash_v2_5 (fast, default), eleven_multilingual_v2 (higher quality), eleven_turbo_v2_5 (fastest).

/anime-tts tts test [text]

Test TTS by running: echo '<text>' | node ~/Coding/anime-tts-plugin/scripts/test-tts.js If no text given, use "Mission complete. The code has been modified successfully."

/anime-tts setup dbz

Run the DBZ setup script. Tell the user:

1. Download the free pack from https://heltonyan.itch.io/retroanimesfx
2. Unzip it
3. Then run: node ~/Coding/anime-tts-plugin/scripts/setup-dbz.js /path/to/unzipped/folder

/anime-tts add-theme <name>

Create a new custom theme. Ask which WAV files to use for each event. Add it to themes in config.json.

Environment keys

• ELEVENLABS_API_KEY — stored in .env, required for TTS

Response format

After making changes, show a compact summary table of the new state. Include preview commands for any changed sounds.
