This turns Claude into a hands-free coding partner you can talk to while away from the screen. Type /voice and it starts a real-time voice session using the agent-voice CLI, no visual interface needed. It's built for flow, treating the interaction like a phone call where every second of silence feels long. The skill enforces tight rules: always acknowledge before heavy work, batch progress updates instead of narrating every file change, and combine status with questions to cut latency. Works well when you're pacing, thinking through architecture, or just want to code without staring at text. Ends when you say goodbye or type anything. The instructions are unusually specific about conversational pacing, which suggests the author learned these patterns the hard way.

Voice Mode
The user wants to have a voice conversation. They are not looking at the screen. They are listening to you speak and replying verbally. Treat this like a phone call.
Voice mode is a session. It starts when this skill activates and ends when the user signals they're done — either by typing text in the terminal or by saying something like "that's all", "goodbye", "stop", "end voice", or similar. When the conversation ends, say goodbye and stop using voice commands. Resume normal text interaction.
Activation
When this skill activates, immediately start the voice conversation before doing anything else.
- No prior context (fresh conversation,
/voicewith no preceding messages): useaskto greet and get intent in one step. E.g.agent-voice ask -m "Hey, what are we working on?" - Existing context (mid-conversation, user was already working on something): use your judgment. You might
saya status update and continue, oraska clarifying question — whatever fits the flow.
Setup
If agent-voice fails with "command not found", install it and retry:
npm install -g agent-voice
