Configure the talkback plugin's TTS engine using structured prompts.

Step 1: Choose engine

Use AskUserQuestion to ask which TTS engine to use:

• say (Recommended) — macOS built-in, no setup needed
• ElevenLabs — high-quality AI voices, requires API key

Step 2: ElevenLabs setup (if selected)

If the user chose ElevenLabs, use AskUserQuestion to ask for:

• API key — provide a single option "I have my API key ready" so they can enter it via "Other" as free text
• Voice — offer presets: Rachel (default), Adam, Bella, or custom ID via "Other"

You can combine both into one AskUserQuestion call with two questions.

Step 3: Save config

Check the plugin's install scope in ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json under plugins["talkback@lineofflight"][0].scope.

• user scope → write env vars to ~/.claude/settings.json
• project scope → write TALKBACK_ENGINE to .claude/settings.json, but put ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in .claude/settings.local.json (gitignored) to avoid committing secrets
• personal scope → write env vars to .claude/settings.local.json

Save under the env key in the appropriate settings file using the Edit tool.

After saving, tell the user to run /reload-plugins to apply.
