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 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)
