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:
bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/say "Your summary here"
Example:
bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/say "I've fixed the bug in the login handler and added the unit tests."
With a specific voice:
bash
${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)
