Description
Text-to-speech using macOS built-in `say` command. Use for voice notifications, audio alerts, reading text aloud, or announcing messages through Mac speakers. Supports multiple languages including Chinese (Mandarin), English, Japanese, etc.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want Codex to speak messages through a Mac's speakers. Be aware that the examples include changing or unmuting system volume, so use it in an environment where audible output is appropriate.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mac-tts
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It uses standard macOS commands (`say` for text-to-speech and `osascript` for volume control) for their intended purposes. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, non-malicious instructions and examples for using these commands, without any evidence of prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration, malicious execution, or persistence mechanisms.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
The skill is macOS-specific and includes `osascript` examples that can change local output volume or unmute audio, which is disclosed and proportionate for audible notifications.
Install Mechanism
The package contains a single Markdown skill file with no executable scripts, dependencies, installers, or remote payload retrieval.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are straightforward examples for speaking text, selecting voices, listing voices, and adjusting volume; there are no role changes, prompt overrides, hidden conditions, or unrelated tasks.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, credential access, privilege escalation, background services, or cross-session modifications are present; the optional async `say ... &` example is user-directed and limited to speech playback.
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose is to use macOS text-to-speech, and the artifact only documents the built-in `say` command plus optional system volume checks and adjustments.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
