SKILL.md - Say Out Loud

Purpose

Announce messages out loud through the Mac mini’s built-in speakers. Plays a chime, sets volume to 80%, and uses the macOS default system voice. Triggers on phrases like “talk to us” or “say out loud.”

Triggers

• “talk to us”
• “say out loud”
• “announce”
• or by explicit command in the interface

How it works

• Sets output to built-in speakers (if available)
• Sets volume to 80%
• Plays the macOS "Glass" chime
• Speaks the full answer using the system's default voice (can be changed to Alex, David, etc. on request)

Usage

Just say “talk to us” or any of the trigger phrases and Bro will say the next message out loud for everyone in the room.
