/voicemode:converse

Start an ongoing voice conversation with the user using the voicemode:converse MCP tool.

Implementation

Call the voicemode:converse MCP tool. Argument handling:

• $1 — optional voice name (e.g. af_river, samantha, nova). If non-empty, pass it as the voice parameter to the tool. If empty, omit voice so the tool uses its default.
• $2 — optional initial message. If non-empty, use it as the message to speak. If empty, let the tool / Claude choose an appropriate opener.
• To discover voices, read the voice://voices MCP resource; to speak in character, first read the persona at ~/.voicemode/voices/<voice>/README.md (index: ~/.voicemode/voices/PERSONAS.md).

All other parameters have sensible defaults.

Multi-agent turn-taking: in a session where more than one agent shares the voice channel, pass hold_conch=true when your next converse call will continue the thread (you're asking a question you'll answer, or speaking across several turns). It keeps the floor so other agents wait instead of cutting in at the turn boundary; the default false releases it after the exchange.
