A Claude Code extension that adds a /speak slash command to read AI assistant replies aloud using local TTS, eliminating the need to read long text responses. It's interesting because it addresses cognitive load by converting text to speech within an AI coding environment, though it's limited to macOS and a specific IDE.

Target audience: backend devs
