Voice Mode
A hands-free voice loop for Claude:
mic → ElevenLabs Scribe (STT) → Claude (local `claude` CLI) → ElevenLabs (TTS) → speaker
Why not Whisper / "use Claude to transcribe"? Claude has no audio input — it can't transcribe. So a fast hosted speech model (ElevenLabs Scribe) does the STT, and Claude is the brain in the middle. This avoids running Whisper locally (slower, heavier).
Auth (no new credentials)
Reuses the ElevenLabs API key already set for eleven-labs-skill
(~/.claude/skills/eleven-labs-skill/config.json, or ELEVENLABS_API_KEY).
The brain uses your existing Claude Code login via the claude CLI — no API key needed.
