+
+## Quick Decision Matrix
+
+Should you install Agent Vibes? Use this matrix:
+
+| Use Case | Recommendation | Reason |
+|----------|----------------|--------|
+| Code reviews (listen while multitasking) | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Audio narration frees your eyes |
+| Long debugging sessions | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Audio notifications keep you informed |
+| Focus-intensive work | ⚠️ Can be distracting | Consider mute during deep work |
+| Offline TTS (no internet) | ✅ Perfect fit | Piper TTS is 100% offline |
+| Premium voice quality | ❌ Use ElevenLabs | Agent Vibes = free, good quality |
+| French language | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 4 FR voices (128 speakers) |
+| English language | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 12 EN voices (high quality) |
+
+---
+
+## 30-Second Overview
+
+Agent Vibes adds **audible narration** to Claude Code responses using:
+
+- **15 voices** (12 English, 4 French including 124 speakers)
+- **100% free** (Piper TTS + macOS Say)
+- **100% offline** (no cloud dependency)
+- **18-minute installation** (5 phases with checkpoints)
+- **34 slash commands** for voice control
+
+**Installation**: [Complete Guide](./installation.md) | [Quick Workflow](../../../guide/workflows/tts-setup.md)
+**Usage**: [Voice Catalog](./voice-catalog.md) | [Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md)
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+Claude Code Response
+    ↓
+.claude/hooks/play-tts.sh (Router)
+    ↓
+[Mute Check] → Exit if muted
+    ↓
+[Provider Manager]
+    ├─ piper   → Piper TTS (offline, neural voices)
+    ├─ macos   → macOS Say (native, instant)
+    └─ termux  → Android via SSH
+    ↓
+[Voice Processing]
+    ├─ Load voice model (~60MB)
+    ├─ Generate audio (~200ms)
+    ├─ Apply effects (reverb, echo)
+    └─ Mix background music (optional)
+    ↓
+[Audio Output] → afplay (macOS) / speaker
+```
+
+**Performance (M1 Mac)**:
+- Audio generation: ~200ms
+- Total latency: ~280ms (generation + effects + playback)
+- RAM usage: ~50MB
+- CPU: ~80% burst (200ms), then idle
+

+**Stuck?** See [Full Installation Guide](./installation.md) or [Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md)
+
+### First Test
+
+```bash
+# Launch Claude Code
+claude
+
+# In Claude, test TTS
+/agent-vibes:whoami
+/agent-vibes:list
+> "Say hello in French"
+```
+
+You should hear audio narration!
+
+---
+
+## Activation & Deactivation
+
+### Quick Mute/Unmute
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:mute      # Mute (persists across sessions)
+/agent-vibes:unmute    # Unmute
+
+# Or manually
+touch .claude/agentvibes-muted      # Project mute

+
+**Full catalog with audio samples**: [Voice Catalog](./voice-catalog.md)
+
+---
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### 1. Listen During Code Reviews
+
+```bash
+# Enable TTS with low verbosity
+/agent-vibes:verbosity low
+
+# Work on other tasks while listening to Claude's analysis
+> "Review the authentication middleware for security issues"
+```
+
+### 2. Audio Notifications for Long Tasks
+
+```bash
+# Run long test suite, get notified when done
+> "Run the full test suite and report failures"
+# → Audio alert when tests complete
+```
+
+### 3. Language Learning Mode
+
+```bash
+# Enable dual-language TTS
+/agent-vibes:learn on
+/agent-vibes:target es_ES
+/agent-vibes:target-voice es_ES-davefx-medium
+
+# Responses spoken in both English and Spanish
+> "Explain dependency injection"
+```
+
+### 4. Custom Hooks (Errors Only)
+
+```bash
+# Create selective TTS hook
+cat > .claude/hooks/speak-errors-only.sh << 'EOF'
+#!/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
+INPUT=$(cat)
+BODY=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.notification.body // empty')
+
+# Speak only if contains "error" or "failed"
+if [[ "$BODY" =~ (error|failed|Error|Failed) ]]; then
+  ~/.claude/hooks/play-tts.sh "$BODY"
+fi
+exit 0
+EOF
+
+chmod +x .claude/hooks/speak-errors-only.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+### Reduce Latency
+
+```bash
+# Use low-quality voice (faster generation)
+/agent-vibes:switch fr_FR-siwis-low  # If available
+
+# Disable effects
+/agent-vibes:effects off
+
+# Disable background music
+/agent-vibes:background-music off
+
+# Result: ~150ms latency instead of ~280ms
+```
+
+### Optimize for Battery
+
+```bash
+# macOS Say (instant, no CPU burst)
+/agent-vibes:provider switch macos
+
+# Trade-off: Lower quality, but 0ms generation time
+```
+
+### Reduce Distraction
+
+```bash
+# Minimum verbosity
+/agent-vibes:verbosity low
+
+# Professional personality (less chatty)
+/agent-vibes:personality professional
+
+# Or mute during focus work
+/agent-vibes:mute
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Audio
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check mute status
+ls -la .claude/agentvibes-muted ~/.agentvibes-muted
+
+# 2. Verify provider
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+
+# 3. Test Piper manually
+echo "Test" | piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  --output-file /tmp/test.wav && afplay /tmp/test.wav
+```
+
+**Solution**: See [Troubleshooting Guide](./troubleshooting.md) for detailed diagnostics.
+
+### Voice Sounds Robotic
+
+**Solution**: Switch to high-quality model:
+```bash
+# Download high-quality voice
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+curl -L -o fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/siwis/high/fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx"
+
+/agent-vibes:switch fr_FR-siwis-high
+```
+
+### 34 Commands Clutter Command Palette
+
+**Solution**: Hide them:
+```bash
+/agent-vibes:hide
+
+# Unhide later if needed
+/agent-vibes:show
+```
+

+    ├─ Set voice: fr_FR-tom-medium
+    └─ Test audio
+
+Phase 5: Verification             (~1 min)
+    ├─ Test in Claude Code
+    └─ Verify hooks active
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: System Dependencies
+
+### Step 1.1: Install Bash 5.x
+
+Agent Vibes requires Bash 5.x (macOS ships with 3.2).
+
+```bash
+# Install Bash 5.x
+brew install bash
+
+# Verify installation
+/opt/homebrew/bin/bash --version
+# Expected: GNU bash, version 5.x
+```
+
+**Why**: Agent Vibes scripts use Bash 5.x features (associative arrays, etc.)
+
+### Step 1.2: Install Audio Tools
+
+```bash
+# Install audio processing tools
+brew install sox ffmpeg util-linux
+
+# Verify sox
+sox --version
+
+# Verify ffmpeg
+ffmpeg -version
+
+# Verify flock (from util-linux)
+/opt/homebrew/opt/util-linux/bin/flock --version
+```
+
+**Note**: `util-linux` is "keg-only" (not symlinked), but Agent Vibes finds it automatically.
+
+### Step 1.3: Install espeak-ng (Piper Dependency)
+
+```bash
+# Install espeak-ng
+brew install espeak-ng
+
+# Verify installation
+espeak-ng --version
+```
+
+**Why**: Piper TTS requires `libespeak-ng` library for phoneme processing.
+
+### Checkpoint 1: Dependencies Installed ✅
+
+```bash
+# Verify all dependencies
+command -v /opt/homebrew/bin/bash && \
+command -v sox && \
+command -v ffmpeg && \
+command -v espeak-ng && \
+echo "✅ All dependencies installed"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Agent Vibes Installation
+
+### Step 2.1: Launch Interactive Installer
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your Claude Code project
+cd /path/to/your/project
+
+# Launch installer (interactive, 4 pages)
+npx agentvibes install
+```
+
+**Expected**: ASCII art banner + welcome screen
+
+### Step 2.2: Navigate Installation Pages
+
+**Page 1/4: System Dependencies**
+- Review detected dependencies
+- All should show `✓` (green checkmark)
+- Click **"Next →"**
+
+**Page 2/4: Provider Selection**
+- Options: `macOS Say`, `Piper TTS`, `Termux SSH`
+- **Select**: `Piper TTS` (best quality, offline)
+- Click **"Next →"**
+
+**Page 3/4: Voice Selection**
+- **For French**: Select `fr_FR-tom-medium` (male) or `fr_FR-siwis-medium` (female)
+- **For English**: Select `en_US-ryan-high` (best quality)
+- Click **"Next →"**
+
+**Page 4/4: Audio Settings**
+- **Reverb**: Select `Light` (recommended)
+- **Background Music**: Select `Disabled` (avoid distraction)
+- **Verbosity**: Select `Low` (less chatty)
+- Click **"Start Installation"**
+
+### Step 2.3: Installation Progress
+
+Agent Vibes will install:
+- 34 slash commands
+- TTS scripts (40 bash scripts)
+- Personality templates
+- 16 background music tracks
+- 7 config files
+
+**Expected output**:
+```
+✔ Installed 34 slash commands!
+✔ Installed TTS scripts!
+✔ Installed personality templates!
+✔ Installed 16 background music tracks!
+✔ Installed 7 config files!
+
+✅ AgentVibes is Ready!
+```
+
+### Checkpoint 2: Agent Vibes Installed ✅
+
+```bash
+# Verify installation
+ls -la .claude/hooks/play-tts.sh
+ls -la .claude/commands/agent-vibes/
+ls -la .claude/audio/tracks/
+
+# Check provider config
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+# Expected: "macos" or "piper"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Piper TTS + Voice Models
+
+### Step 3.1: Install Piper TTS via pipx
+
+If you chose Piper provider, Agent Vibes will attempt to install it. If it fails, manual installation:
+
+```bash
+# Install Piper via pipx (Python package manager)
+pipx install piper-tts
+
+# Verify installation
+piper --help
+```
+
+**Common Issue**: Precompiled binary fails with `libespeak-ng.1.dylib` error.
+
+**Solution**: `pipx install piper-tts` works reliably (Python version, not binary).
+
+### Step 3.2: Download French Voices
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to voice storage
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+
+# Download 4 French voice models
+curl -L -o fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/tom/medium/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/tom/medium/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx.json"
+
+curl -L -o fr_FR-siwis-medium.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/siwis/medium/fr_FR-siwis-medium.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-siwis-medium.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/siwis/medium/fr_FR-siwis-medium.onnx.json"
+
+curl -L -o fr_FR-upmc-medium.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/upmc/medium/fr_FR-upmc-medium.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-upmc-medium.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/upmc/medium/fr_FR-upmc-medium.onnx.json"
+
+curl -L -o fr_FR-mls-medium.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/mls/medium/fr_FR-mls-medium.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-mls-medium.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/mls/medium/fr_FR-mls-medium.onnx.json"
+```
+
+**Size**: ~60-73MB per voice (4 voices = ~260MB total)
+
+### Step 3.3: Download English Voices (Optional)
+
+Agent Vibes auto-downloads 12 English voices during installation. Verify:
+
+```bash
+ls ~/.claude/piper-voices/en_US-*.onnx
+```
+
+**Expected**: 12 files (ryan, amy, lessac, bryce, etc.)
+
+### Checkpoint 3: Voices Downloaded ✅
+
+```bash
+# Count voices
+ls ~/.claude/piper-voices/*.onnx | wc -l
+# Expected: 15+ files (12 EN + 4 FR minimum)
+
+# Test French voice manually
+echo "Bonjour, je suis Claude et je parle français" | \
+  piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  --output-file /tmp/test-fr.wav && afplay /tmp/test-fr.wav
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Configuration
+
+### Step 4.1: Set Piper as Provider
+
+```bash
+# Switch to Piper TTS (if not already set)
+echo "piper" > .claude/tts-provider.txt
+
+# Verify
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+# Expected: "piper"
+```
+
+### Step 4.2: Set French Male Voice
+
+```bash
+# Set default voice
+echo "fr_FR-tom-medium" > .claude/tts-voice.txt
+
+# Verify
+cat .claude/tts-voice.txt
+# Expected: "fr_FR-tom-medium"
+```
+
+### Step 4.3: Test Audio Generation
+
+```bash
+# Test TTS pipeline manually
+~/.claude/hooks/play-tts.sh "Ceci est un test audio"
+```
+
+**Expected**: Audio plays with French male voice.
+
+**Troubleshooting**: If no audio, see [Troubleshooting Guide](./troubleshooting.md#no-audio).
+
+### Checkpoint 4: Configuration Complete ✅
+
+```bash
+# Verify config files
+test -f .claude/tts-provider.txt && \
+test -f .claude/tts-voice.txt && \
+test -f .claude/hooks/play-tts.sh && \
+echo "✅ Configuration complete"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Verification in Claude Code
+
+### Step 5.1: Launch Claude Code
+
+```bash
+# Start Claude Code session
+claude
+```
+
+### Step 5.2: Test TTS Commands
+
+```bash
+# In Claude, run:
+/agent-vibes:whoami
+# Expected: Shows current voice and provider
+
+/agent-vibes:list
+# Expected: Lists all 15+ voices
+
+# Test TTS with simple request
+> "Dis-moi bonjour en français"
+# Expected: Audio response in French
+```
+
+### Step 5.3: Verify Hooks Active
+
+```bash
+# Exit Claude, check hook was triggered
+ls -la /tmp/tts-*.wav
+# Expected: Temporary audio files
+
+# Check last played audio
+ls -la ~/.claude/tts-last-played.wav
+# Expected: File exists
+```
+
+### Checkpoint 5: Verification Complete ✅
+
+```bash
+# Final verification
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt && \
+cat .claude/tts-voice.txt && \
+piper --help > /dev/null 2>&1 && \
+ls ~/.claude/piper-voices/*.onnx | wc -l && \
+echo "✅ Installation successful!"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Post-Installation Configuration
+
+### Reduce Verbosity (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:verbosity low
+```
+
+**Why**: Reduces audio narration frequency, less distracting.
+
+### Hide 34 Commands (Optional)
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:hide
+```
+
+**Why**: Declutters command palette. Use `/agent-vibes:show` to unhide.
+
+### Disable Background Music
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:background-music off
+```
+
+**Why**: Background music can be distracting during focus work.
+
+### Set Project Mute (Optional)
+
+```bash
+# Mute TTS for this project only
+touch .claude/agentvibes-muted
+```
+
+**Why**: Some projects don't need audio (e.g., documentation-only repos).

+rm ~/.agentvibes-muted 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Installation Issues
+
+### Issue 1: `libespeak-ng.1.dylib` Not Found
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+dyld[xxx]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libespeak-ng.1.dylib
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Install espeak-ng
+brew install espeak-ng
+
+# Reinstall Piper via pipx (not binary)
+pipx uninstall piper-tts
+pipx install piper-tts
+```
+
+### Issue 2: `flock` Warning (Optional Tool)
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+⚠ flock - TTS queue locking
+```
+
+**Impact**: Minor. TTS works without `flock`, may have audio collision with rapid messages.
+
+**Solution** (optional):
+```bash
+# flock is in util-linux, already installed
+# Add to PATH if needed
+export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/util-linux/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+### Issue 3: Agent Vibes Installer Exits
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+ExitPromptError: User force closed the prompt
+```
+
+**Cause**: Interactive installer requires user input (can't be automated).
+
+**Solution**: Run `npx agentvibes install` in interactive terminal (not via script).
+
+### Issue 4: No Audio After Installation
+
+**Diagnostic**:
+```bash
+# 1. Check mute status
+ls .claude/agentvibes-muted ~/.agentvibes-muted
+
+# 2. Check provider
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+
+# 3. Test Piper manually
+echo "Test" | piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  --output-file /tmp/test.wav && afplay /tmp/test.wav
+```
+
+**Solutions**: See [Troubleshooting Guide](./troubleshooting.md).

+# Agent Vibes - Troubleshooting Guide
+
+**Common Issues**: 7 scenarios with step-by-step solutions
+**Diagnostic Tools**: Commands and scripts for problem identification
+
+---
+
+## Issue 1: No Audio Output
+
+### Symptom
+```
+Claude responds but no TTS audio plays
+```
+
+### Diagnostic Steps
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check if muted
+ls -la .claude/agentvibes-muted ~/.agentvibes-muted
+# If file exists → TTS is muted
+
+# 2. Check provider configuration
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+# Expected: "piper" or "macos"
+
+# 3. Check voice configuration
+cat .claude/tts-voice.txt
+# Expected: voice name like "fr_FR-tom-medium"
+
+# 4. Test Piper directly
+echo "Test audio" | piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  --output-file /tmp/test.wav && afplay /tmp/test.wav
+```
+
+### Solutions
+
+**If muted**:
+```bash
+# Unmute
+rm .claude/agentvibes-muted
+rm ~/.agentvibes-muted 2>/dev/null
+
+# Or in Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:unmute
+```
+
+**If provider misconfigured**:
+```bash
+# Set Piper as provider
+echo "piper" > .claude/tts-provider.txt
+
+# Verify
+cat .claude/tts-provider.txt
+```
+
+**If voice missing**:
+```bash
+# Download missing voice
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+curl -L -o fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/tom/medium/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/tom/medium/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx.json"
+```
+
+**If Piper command fails**:
+```bash
+# Reinstall Piper via pipx
+pipx uninstall piper-tts
+pipx install piper-tts
+
+# Verify
+piper --help
+```
+
+---
+
+## Issue 2: libespeak-ng.1.dylib Not Found
+
+### Symptom
+```
+dyld[xxx]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libespeak-ng.1.dylib
+  Referenced from: /Users/.../piper
+  Reason: tried: '/usr/local/lib/libespeak-ng.1.dylib' (no such file)
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+Piper binary requires `espeak-ng` library which is not installed.
+
+### Solution
+
+```bash
+# Install espeak-ng
+brew install espeak-ng
+
+# Verify installation
+espeak-ng --version
+# Expected: eSpeak NG text-to-speech: 1.52.0
+
+# Find library location
+find /opt/homebrew -name "libespeak-ng*.dylib"
+# Expected: /opt/homebrew/lib/libespeak-ng.1.dylib
+
+# If Piper still fails, reinstall via pipx (not binary)
+pipx uninstall piper-tts 2>/dev/null
+pipx install piper-tts
+
+# Test again
+piper --help
+```
+
+### Prevention
+Always install `espeak-ng` **before** installing Piper TTS.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 3: Voice Sounds Robotic or Low Quality
+
+### Symptom
+```
+Audio plays but voice quality is poor, robotic, unnatural
+```
+
+### Diagnostic
+
+```bash
+# Check which voice model is loaded
+cat .claude/tts-voice.txt
+
+# Check voice quality level
+ls -lh ~/.claude/piper-voices/*.onnx | grep $(cat .claude/tts-voice.txt)
+# Low quality: ~20-30MB
+# Medium quality: ~50-70MB
+# High quality: ~100-150MB
+```
+
+### Solutions
+
+**Upgrade to high-quality model**:
+```bash
+# Download high-quality French voice
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+curl -L -o fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/siwis/high/fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/siwis/high/fr_FR-siwis-high.onnx.json"
+
+# Switch to high-quality voice
+/agent-vibes:switch fr_FR-siwis-high
+```
+
+**Alternative: Try different voice**:
+```bash
+# Test multiple voices to find preferred one
+/agent-vibes:preview
+
+# Or test manually
+for voice in fr_FR-tom-medium fr_FR-siwis-medium fr_FR-upmc-medium; do
+  echo "Test voix $voice" | \
+    piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/${voice}.onnx \
+    --output-file /tmp/${voice}.wav
+  afplay /tmp/${voice}.wav
+  sleep 2
+done
+```
+
+**Quality Comparison**:
+| Quality | Size | Latency | Naturalness |
+|---------|------|---------|-------------|
+| Low | ~25MB | ~100ms | ⭐️⭐️ |
+| Medium | ~60MB | ~200ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+| High | ~120MB | ~400ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+
+---
+
+## Issue 4: High Latency (>500ms)
+
+### Symptom
+```
+Noticeable delay between Claude response and audio playback
+```
+
+### Diagnostic
+
+```bash
+# Time audio generation
+time (echo "Test rapide" | \
+  piper -m ~/.claude/piper-voices/fr_FR-tom-medium.onnx \
+  --output-file /tmp/test.wav > /dev/null 2>&1)
+# Expected: ~0.2s for medium quality
+
+# Check if effects are enabled
+cat .claude/config/audio-effects.cfg 2>/dev/null
+# Look for REVERB_ENABLED=true, ECHO_ENABLED=true
+
+# Check if background music enabled
+cat .claude/config/background-music.cfg 2>/dev/null
+# Look for ENABLED=true
+```
+
+### Solutions
+
+**Switch to low-quality voice** (50% faster):
+```bash
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+curl -L -o fr_FR-gilles-low.onnx \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/gilles/low/fr_FR-gilles-low.onnx"
+curl -L -o fr_FR-gilles-low.onnx.json \
+  "https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/resolve/main/fr/fr_FR/gilles/low/fr_FR-gilles-low.onnx.json"
+
+/agent-vibes:switch fr_FR-gilles-low
+```
+
+**Disable audio effects**:
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:effects off
+
+# Or manually
+echo "REVERB_ENABLED=false" > .claude/config/audio-effects.cfg
+echo "ECHO_ENABLED=false" >> .claude/config/audio-effects.cfg
+```
+
+**Disable background music**:
+```bash
+# In Claude Code
+/agent-vibes:background-music off
+
+# Or manually
+echo "ENABLED=false" > .claude/config/background-music.cfg
+```
+
+**Switch to macOS Say** (instant, lower quality):
+```bash
+/agent-vibes:provider switch macos
+```
+
+**Performance Comparison**:
+| Configuration | Latency | Quality |
+|---------------|---------|---------|
+| Piper High + Effects + Music | ~500ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+| Piper Medium + Effects | ~280ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+| Piper Medium (no effects) | ~200ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+| Piper Low (no effects) | ~100ms | ⭐️⭐️ |
+| macOS Say | ~50ms | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
+
+---
+
+## Issue 5: Agent Vibes Commands Clutter Palette
+
+### Symptom
+```
+34 /agent-vibes:* commands clutter Claude Code command palette
+```
+
+### Solution
+
+```bash
+# Hide all Agent Vibes commands
+/agent-vibes:hide
+
+# Commands still work, just hidden from autocomplete
+
+# Unhide later if needed
+/agent-vibes:show
+```
+
+### Alternative: Remove Agent Vibes Completely
+
+```bash
+npx agentvibes uninstall --yes
+```
+
+---
+
+## Issue 6: Audio Plays Multiple Times (Echo/Repeat)
+
+### Symptom
+```
+Same audio plays 2-3 times in rapid succession
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+`flock` (file locking) not available, causing race condition with rapid messages.
+
+### Diagnostic
+
+```bash
+# Check if flock is available
+which flock || /opt/homebrew/opt/util-linux/bin/flock --version
+```
+
+### Solution
+
+```bash
+# Install util-linux (contains flock)
+brew install util-linux
+
+# Add flock to PATH (optional)
+echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/util-linux/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
+source ~/.zshrc
+
+# Verify
+flock --version
+```
+
+### Workaround (if flock unavailable)
+```bash
+# Reduce verbosity to minimize rapid messages
+/agent-vibes:verbosity low
+```
+
+---
+
+## Issue 7: Installation Hangs or Exits
+
+### Symptom
+```
+npx agentvibes install exits with:
+ExitPromptError: User force closed the prompt
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+Interactive installer requires terminal input, can't be automated.
+
+### Solution
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're in interactive terminal (not script)
+# Run directly in terminal, not via automation
+
+npx agentvibes install
+
+# If still fails, try without cache
+npx --yes agentvibes@latest install
+```
+
+### Alternative: Manual Installation
+
+```bash
+# If installer fails repeatedly, install components manually
+
+# 1. Install Piper TTS
+pipx install piper-tts
+
+# 2. Download voices
+mkdir -p ~/.claude/piper-voices
+cd ~/.claude/piper-voices
+# ... download voices manually (see voice-catalog.md)
+
+# 3. Create config files
+echo "piper" > .claude/tts-provider.txt
+echo "fr_FR-tom-medium" > .claude/tts-voice.txt
+
+# 4. Download Agent Vibes scripts
+# (Contact maintainer or extract from npm package)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Diagnostic Script
