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
- •Summarize what was accomplished in 1-2 short, conversational sentences
- •Call the
sayscript 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)
