What it does
C Voice is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Convert speech to text using sag (ElevenLabs STT) and synthesize speech using say (macOS built-in TTS). Enables voice input transcription and audio output.
Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice, Transcription and Speech recognition and synthesis. It works with macOS and ElevenLabs. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
- “/c-voice”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
C Voice loads about 401 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
