Turn a piece of work into something the user can listen to instead of read. Use when they say they want to hear it, listen to it, put it in their ears, or that they will be driving, walking, at the gym, doing laundry, or otherwise away from the screen. Also use when handing over a long analysis they will not sit and read, and when they ask for a voice memo, an audio summary, or a recording of a briefing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Audio brief Two jobs, and the second one is the hard one. Rendering text to speech is a command. Writing something worth listening to is the craft, and skipping it produces a file that is technically audio and practically unlistenable. ## Render it ```bash brief-audio script.txt # -> script.mp3 brief-audio -v am_michael notes.txt # different voice echo "some text" | brief-audio -o out.mp3 ``` Kokoro-82M, Apache 2.0, local, no API key and no network after the first run caches the model. First run installs espeak-ng, ffmpeg and a Python 3.12 venv at `~/.chewbacca/audio-venv`, which takes about a minute. Every run after is faster than real time. Voices: `af_heart` (default, highest quality grade), `af_bella`, `af_nicole`, `af_sarah`, `am_michael`, `am_puck`, `am_adam`, `bf_emma`, `bm_george`. **Do not reach for a paid TTS API.** That was the first instinct on 2026-09-20 and it was wrong: it needed a key Caleb did not have, so the work stalled on a credential for something a local Apache-2.0 model does well. If a hosted voice is ever specifically wanted, that is a deliberate choice, not the default. ## Write it for the ear first …

How to install
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/audio-brief@sha256:e21656f1cd1264deThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.c7250b6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
