talkback skillA
talkback is agent-read markdown (skill) from broomva/skills: Speak an explanation out loud while working in any project — tiered text-to-speech with a pluggable backend (ElevenLabs by default and quota-guarded, macOS `say` via `--fast` for free instant local speech, local OmniVoice as an unlimited private tier). Markdown-aware, so code fences, URLs and deep paths collapse to short spoken placeholders instead of being dictated character by character, while snake_case identifiers survive intact so the listener can still search for them. Every utterance is s.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/talkback@v0.2.0mdr add broomva/skills/talkback@sha256:25dad638059d57f7Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
