Is the installation process fully automated?

The script automates dependency management and environment creation, but it includes interactive steps for personalization to ensure the assistant matches your preferences.

Can I change my assistant's voice after the initial setup?

Yes, you can run the install skill again with the --force flag to trigger the reconfiguration process and select a new voice or personality.

Does this skill work on Windows or Linux?

No, this specific setup skill and the underlying Claude Talk plugin are currently optimized for macOS (Apple Silicon) only.

What voices are available during setup?

The setup includes several high-quality Kokoro TTS voices, including Daniel (British Male), Heart (American Female), Alice (British Female), and Adam (American Male).

What is BlackHole and why is it recommended?

BlackHole is an open-source audio driver that allows Claude Talk to support 'barge-in,' meaning you can interrupt the AI while it is speaking, creating a more natural conversation.
