    claude-buddy

    Coordinate with the Claude Buddy companion (Claude Desktop + Claude Code on the user's Mac) — voice-approve tool permission prompts and stay aware of Claude activity.

  • autonomous-aiSkill

    face-enroll

    Manage the device's face recognition roster — enroll new faces (3 paths: user-supplied photo, agent-captured snapshot on user request, or HAL's familiar-stranger prompt) and maintain the enrolled set (status / remove / reset). All enrolled persons are friends; strangers stay unnamed until promoted via one of the enroll flows.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 25 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If the user supplied an argument, treat it as a voice id: run step 3 with it.

    line 6
  2. Distinctive:

    When the user wants to hear one, audition it WITHOUT saving:

    line 17
  3. Distinctive:

    When they choose, save it and confirm in the new voice:

    line 25

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 25 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

If the user supplied an argument, treat it as a voice id: run step 3 with it.

  1. List what's available:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --list-voices

Show the result as a short readable list (label and id). If it's long, show the first ~20 and say how many more there are; offer to filter by name.

  1. When the user wants to hear one, audition it WITHOUT saving:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --detach --voice VOICE_ID --text "This is how I'd sound reading your replies."

Repeat for as many voices as they like.

  1. When they choose, save it and confirm in the new voice:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --set-voice VOICE_ID
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --detach --text "Voice saved. This is me from now on."

Voices belong to the current provider (see /read-aloud:speak-status). To change provider, edit the config file it names — or /read-aloud:voice-setup installs the free Kokoro voices.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
