Presence (Claude Code mod)

Talk with Claude Code through the Avatar app: replies spoken as they are written by a face with lip sync, and your voice into the prompt box. Avatar's own window has the controls.

Install

Avatar must be installed in /Applications (it is the face, the voice and the ears). Then load this folder as a plugin:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/Avatar/mod

or from GitHub: /plugin marketplace add sandipchitale/Avatar and /plugin install presence@presence.

Use

Replies are spoken whenever Avatar is running (silent otherwise). Turn the mic on (the 🎙 button above the prompt, Avatar's Mic button, or /presence mic on) and, between turns, what you say goes into the prompt box: edit it there with the keyboard or by voice ("scratch that", "clear"), and say "send it" to send it. See the Avatar README for every command.

It works the same in the Claude desktop app's Code tab, with the desktop's own prompt box. A reply written before Avatar attached (the desktop app starts its session with the first prompt) is spoken once it attaches. Headless runs (claude -p, the Agent SDK) stay silent: Presence attaches only when the terminal's REPL starts or a surface attaches.

Options

Development

claude plugin validate ., claude plugin test . (segmenter, voice commands, event parsing). hooks/register.tsx is the module: attaching, speaking as replies stream, the face's state, and the ears.

1// Presence: talk with Claude Code through the Avatar app.
2//
3// Avatar (a menu bar app) is the face, the voice and the ears, with its own controls (Play/Pause,
4// Stop, Mic, Man/Woman, Pin, and the speech bubble on a click of the head, with a caret to play
5// from). This mod drives it: replies are spoken as they are written, the face follows the turn,
6// and with the mic on, between turns, what you say goes into Claude Code's prompt box, where you
7// can edit it by keyboard or by voice ("scratch that", "clear") and send it ("send it").

1// Turns the model's reply, as it streams in pieces, into segments worth speaking: whole sentences,
2// whole markdown lines, and whole fenced code blocks (which Avatar announces rather than
3// reads). The first sentence goes out on its own so the voice starts quickly; after that sentences
4// are gathered to about `batchChars`, so the speech flows rather than pausing after every one.
5//
6// Lines stay lines inside a segment (Avatar reads markdown line by line), and a blank line
7// ends a paragraph's segment.
