What it does

Bmad Install Agentvibes is an agent skill from paulpreibisch/AgentVibes. Install AgentVibes TTS voice system for BMAD agents. Gives each agent a unique voice, personality, and audio effects.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 🎭 TTS for Claude Code. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to add voice/TTS to their BMAD setup
  • Bmad-party-mode is active and agents are silent

Example prompts

  • “/bmad-install-agentvibes”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect your platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/WSL)
  2. Install the appropriate TTS provider (Piper recommended for best quality, SAPI as zero-dependency fallback on Windows)
  3. Configure Claude Code hooks so agents speak automatically
  4. Set up bmad-speak.sh / bmad-speak.ps1 integration for party mode

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f62c8ff. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Bmad Install Agentvibes loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~557

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.

description
Install AgentVibes TTS voice system for BMAD agents. Gives each agent a unique voice, personality, and audio effects. Use when user wants to add voice/TTS to their BMAD setup, or when bmad-party-mode is active and agents are silent.

Install AgentVibes

AgentVibes is an open-source Text-to-Speech system that gives BMAD agents unique voices, personalities, and audio effects. Once installed, party mode agents speak aloud — each with their own voice.

What AgentVibes Provides

  • Per-agent voices — each BMAD agent gets a distinct voice via bmad-voice-map.json
  • Cross-platform — Windows (SAPI + Piper), macOS, Linux, WSL
  • Personalities & effects — reverb, background music, speed, sentiment
  • Party mode integration — agents introduce themselves and speak sequentially

Installation

Run the installer in the terminal:

bash
npx agentvibes install

Or if you prefer a global install first:

bash
npm install -g agentvibes
agentvibes install

The installer will:

  1. Detect your platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/WSL)
  2. Install the appropriate TTS provider (Piper recommended for best quality, SAPI as zero-dependency fallback on Windows)
  3. Configure Claude Code hooks so agents speak automatically
  4. Set up bmad-speak.sh / bmad-speak.ps1 integration for party mode

Post-Install: Configure Agent Voices

After installing, configure per-agent voices for party mode:

/agent-vibes:bmad

This opens the BMAD voice configuration where you can assign each agent a distinct voice, personality, and effects profile.

Verify Installation

bash
agentvibes whoami

Should display the active voice and provider. If party mode is active, agents will now speak when you run /bmad-party-mode.

Troubleshooting

  • Agents still silent after install: Run agentvibes install again — it is idempotent
  • Windows users: Ensure PowerShell execution policy allows scripts: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned
  • Voice quality: Install Piper for neural TTS — agentvibes install will prompt you
