What This Skill Does
Adds an offline British-accented voice to an OpenClaw agent using sherpa-onnx TTS (Alan voice) with a metallic effects chain via ffmpeg. Audio plays in the background before the text response appears on screen. Four humor patterns shape the agent's conversational personality: dry wit, self-aware AI, alien observer, and literal idiom play.
Runs fully offline with a custom audio effects chain, so voice output requires no cloud APIs, network access, or per-request costs.
When to use it
- Hearing a spoken greeting at the start of each work session
- Getting voice readouts of task results without looking at the screen
- Running a hands-free terminal assistant while doing other work
- Receiving spoken summaries after long background operations finish
- Using a consistent AI persona with a recognizable voice and tone
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: 'What did you finish while I was away?'
- 1Runs `jarvis "Here is a summary of completed tasks, sir."` with background: true before writing any text
- 2User hears the British Alan voice with pitch shift, flanger, and echo effects before text appears
- 3Writes the visible transcript using the bold **Jarvis:** prefix in the chat response
- 4Webchat post-render hook auto-wraps the transcript text in a purple italic span
User hears the spoken summary first, then sees the styled transcript on screen
