When you want every reply read aloud for a stretch of work.

It's working if
  • /converse writes on to scratch/converse-mode, confirms in one line, and you hear that confirmation.
  • Every later reply shows its full text as usual and is also spoken as a short explainer.
  • /converse off clears the state file and confirms in text, and that confirmation is not spoken.
  • /converse status reports on or off in one line, without changing the mode or speaking.
  • Turns that only run tools, with no message for you, are not spoken.
  • After two failed speech attempts in a row it notes it once and carries on in text.
How to call it

The four forms it takes, shown exactly as the skill lists them.

/converse              # turn ON (default)
/converse on           # turn ON
/converse off          # turn OFF
/converse status       # report whether mode is on
Common questions
How is it different from /speak?
/speak voices one reply and the chat shows only a speaker symbol. /converse speaks every reply until you turn it off, and the visible reply stays the full answer.
Does it listen to me too?
No. It only automates voice output. Speaking to it needs a separate dictation tool.
Does it stay on in a new session?
No. Each session starts off. If a stale scratch/converse-mode says on at the start of a new conversation, it is treated as off until you turn it on again.
What does it need to run?
The same setup as /speak: scripts/speak.ts, npx tsx and the voice settings in .env, with Grok Voice through OpenRouter by default.
Can I still use /speak while it is on?
Yes. /speak runs as a one-off, and converse carries on speaking later replies.
