Weather Voice Assistant
Generated by Claude Code with Opus 4.5
A Claude Code skill that provides real-time weather information with voice input/output support.
Important: Latency
This is NOT real-time. Total latency is 15-40 seconds from speaking to hearing response.
Important: Voice Input Workflow
Users must TYPE first to trigger voice input. Claude Code is text-based and does not continuously listen.
Correct workflow:
- User TYPES: "Let me speak my weather question"
- Claude invokes skill with --mic flag
- User SPEAKS when prompted
- Claude returns weather with audio
Default Behavior
- Voice + Text Output: Prints weather to terminal AND plays audio via TTS
- Text Input: User types their query (default)
- Voice Input: User can speak their query via microphone (must type trigger first)
Instructions
-
For weather queries (default: voice + text output):
cd .claude/skills/weather-voice && npx tsx src/index.ts "<user_query>"
This will print the weather AND play it as audio.
-
If user explicitly wants TEXT ONLY output (no audio), add --text-only flag:
cd .claude/skills/weather-voice && npx tsx src/index.ts "<user_query>" --text-only
Use this when user says: "text only", "no audio", "no voice", "silent", "just text"
-
If user wants to SPEAK their question via microphone:
cd .claude/skills/weather-voice && npx tsx src/index.ts --mic
This records for 5 seconds by default. For longer recording:
cd .claude/skills/weather-voice && npx tsx src/index.ts --mic --duration 10
Use this when user says: "use my microphone", "let me speak", "voice input", "record my question"
-
If user provides an audio file to transcribe:
cd .claude/skills/weather-voice && npx tsx src/index.ts --input "<audio_path>"
Examples
- "What's the weather in Paris?" → Default (voice + text output)
- "Tokyo weather please" → Default (voice + text output)
- "Weather in London, text only" → Add --text-only flag
- "What's the forecast? no audio" → Add --text-only flag
- "Let me speak my question" → Add --mic flag
- "Use my microphone to ask about weather" → Add --mic flag
- "Record my question for 10 seconds" → Add --mic --duration 10
- "Listen to this audio and get weather" → Add --input flag with audio path
