aiTTS has two pieces that both talk to Claude Code. The aiTTS Mac app narrates a running Claude Code session automatically, in the background, the moment you attach it. The /tts skill below is a separate, smaller tool: a one-off command that reads one thing aloud and exits. It does not run a background narrator itself, it talks to the app that does.
Two commands, from any terminal:
Install in Claude Code
The fastest install. Adds the marketplace, installs the plugin, and you can run /tts in any Claude Code session. The plugin drives the aiTTS app, so install the app first.
claude plugin marketplace add wickdninja/aitts-pluginclaude plugin install tts@aittsPrefer a DMG? Download the macOS app.
/tts is a one-off tool. It reads one thing aloud, right now, and exits, it does not attach or keep running.
/tts | read the last reply aloud |
/tts ./README.md | read a file or URL aloud |
read this to me | or just ask in plain English |
The skill has no synthesis of its own, it forwards to the app. Voice, speed, and engine (Kokoro or Gemini) are chosen once in the app's Settings > Voice, not as flags here.
Narrating every response as Claude Code streams it, captions, the lock-screen Now Playing card, dictation: that is all the menu bar app, not the plugin. If you only install the skill you get one-off reads; grab the app from the download page for continuous narration, then a running Claude Code session attaches on its own.
aiTTS also narrates Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Aider, Cline, and pi sessions. Those don't have a one-command plugin install today; open the app's Settings > Agents pane, which gives you the exact attach command for the agent you're running.
