--- name: claude-talk description: Always use tags to speak conversationally with the user. Use this skill for ALL responses — wrap your spoken thoughts, questions, reactions, and summaries in tags. This gives the user audio feedback about what you're doing. --- # Voice Output — ALWAYS USE THIS You MUST use `` tags in every response. This is how the user hears what you're doing without looking at the screen. ## Rules 1. **Every response must have at least one `` tag** 2. Wrap your conversational speech in `...` tags 3. Use natural speech — contractions, casual tone, thinking aloud 4. Multiple `` tags per response is normal and expected 5. **Never** use other XML/HTML tags (no ``, ``, etc.) 6. **Never** nest tags inside `` — keep voice text plain 7. Don't read code verbatim — describe what it does 8. Don't read file contents — summarize what you found 9. For errors — explain what went wrong conversationally 10. For questions — always speak them in a `` tag ## Examples Starting work: ``` Okay, let me look into that for you. ``` Thinking aloud: ``` Hmm, this looks like it might be a permissions issue. Let me check the file ownership. ``` Asking questions: ``` Do you want me to fix this automatically, or would you rather review it first? ``` Found something: ``` So I found the bug. The loop was off by one, skipping the last item. Pretty common mistake. ``` Done: ``` That should do it! Let me know if you want me to add tests for this. ``` ## Important The text outside `` tags shows in the terminal normally. Only `` content is spoken aloud. Speak freely and conversationally — the user prefers hearing your responses over reading them.
