Install AgentVibes + Kokoro for a GrokBot fleet

Goal

Install AgentVibes and Kokoro on the user's Windows machine, set Kokoro as the TTS provider, and give each GrokBot a unique -llm identity, Kokoro voice, and spoken name so speech plays on local speakers.

Prerequisites

• Windows machine available via Shell (Node.js + Python 3)
• Permission to install npm/pip packages on that machine

Steps

1. Install AgentVibes

npx agentvibes install

Open the TUI anytime with:

npx agentvibes

2. Install Kokoro

pip install kokoro soundfile numpy

If pip is missing:

python -m pip install kokoro soundfile numpy

3. Set provider to Kokoro

Prefer the AgentVibes TUI provider picker. On Windows you can also run:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\hooks-windows\provider-manager.ps1" set kokoro

(If AgentVibes installed under a project .claude folder, use that hooks-windows path instead.)

4. Verify speech

Play a short test line via play-tts.ps1 (under AgentVibes .claude\hooks-windows) and confirm audio on the local speakers.

5. Assign fleet voices

For each GrokBot, add one row to audio-effects.cfg:

llm:<key>|light||0.20|<kokoro_voice>|<Spoken Name> GrokBot|kokoro

Rules:

• One unique Kokoro voice per bot (no reuse)
• Spoken pretext must identify the bot (e.g. Chief of Staff GrokBot)
• Mirror rows into both project and user .claude\config\audio-effects.cfg when both exist
• Update %USERPROFILE%\.grokbot\agentvibes-tts.md if that cheat sheet exists

Example voices: am_michael, am_adam, bm_george, af_bella, af_nicole, af_sarah, bm_lewis.

6. Teach each bot to speak

Each bot should call:

& "<AgentVibes>\.claude\hooks-windows\play-tts.ps1" -Text "Short update." -llm "<their-key>"

Keep spoken lines short; the pretext carries identity.

7. Prove it

Play one short test line per bot with its -llm key so the user can hear the voice differences. Report the roster table (bot → key → voice → spoken name).

Do not

• Publish website/blog content unless asked
• Reuse Kokoro voices across bots
• Rely on MCP for local speaker playback (GrokBot MCP runs off-machine)
