About

c-voice enables Claude to transcribe speech to text using ElevenLabs' STT via `sag` and synthesize speech using macOS's built-in TTS via `say`. It's ideal for adding voice input/output capabilities to Claude-powered applications. The skill supports audio file transcription, microphone recording, and customizable text-to-speech voices.

Documentation

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to transcribe spoken audio to text via sag (powered by ElevenLabs) and to speak text aloud using the macOS say command.

Available CLI Tools

sag — Speech-to-Text (ElevenLabs)

# Transcribe an audio file
sag transcribe --file recording.mp3

# Record from microphone and transcribe
sag record --output transcript.txt

# Transcribe with a specific language hint
sag transcribe --file audio.wav --language en

# Output transcript to stdout
sag transcribe --file audio.m4a --stdout

say — Text-to-Speech (macOS built-in)

# Speak text aloud
say "Hello, how can I help you today?"

# Use a specific voice
say -v Samantha "Your report is ready."

# Save spoken audio to a file
say -o output.aiff "Text to synthesize"

# List available voices
say -v ?

# Control speaking rate (words per minute)
say -r 180 "Speaking at a custom rate"

Usage Guidelines

  • Use sag to process audio files the user provides or to capture mic input
  • Use say to read back responses, summaries, or alerts aloud
  • Prefer say -v Samantha or -v Alex for natural-sounding output on macOS

Notes

  • sag requires a valid ElevenLabs API key configured in environment
  • say is built into macOS — no installation needed
  • Supported audio input formats for sag: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC

executing-plans

Design

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
