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

1. Summarize what was accomplished in 1-2 short, conversational sentences 2. 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)
