VibeRadio

Your agent's output as audio.

Turns an agentic coding session into something you can listen to instead of read. Narration is the core — spoken monologue, two-host podcast, or reactive music — so you can follow a Claude Code / Codex / Gemini agent's progress while away from the desk, commuting, or multitasking. Reactive music (below) is one style among several.

Styles: spoken monologue · two-host podcast · reactive music (lo-fi, synthwave, ambient, classical, 8-bit). Modes: ambient stream (narrates live as the agent works) · task summary (one message when a task finishes) · session recap (a longer podcast/musical wrap). Timing: sync/live (updates as the agent works) or async (after a turn/session) — user-configurable, per-hook. See spec.md.

Demo

▶ Watch the launch video — four coding agents, four radios, each tuned to its own station.

Quick start

npm i -g viberadio-fm

viberadio say "hello"                       # narrate a line now (on-device, offline)
viberadio recap session.json                 # build a script from session events and speak it
viberadio recap session.json --style podcast  # two-host podcast style

Works offline, on-device, with zero keys. v0 routes all narration through the on-device tier of the shared @pooriaarab/vibe-core model cascade — macOS say / Linux espeak / spd-say — so it runs with nothing configured and nothing leaves your machine. Bring-your-own-key TTS (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, …) plugs into the same cascade later; the createNarrator() seam is already there.

Use it as a library too:

import { narrate, recap, buildRecapScript } from 'viberadio-fm';

await narrate('build passed');                              // speaks via on-device TTS
const { script } = await recap(events, { style: 'podcast' }); // script + speak a session
buildRecapScript(events);                                   // pure: events -> script, no audio

MCP

viberadio mcp starts a stdio MCP server exposing narrate({ text, style? }) and recap({ events, style?, mode? }) tools, so an agent can ask for an audio recap mid-session. Add it to your client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "viberadio": { "command": "viberadio", "args": ["mcp"] }
  }
}

Why Build This

• Developers already listen to lo-fi while coding — this makes it reactive and personal
• Extremely visual and shareable — imagine a tweet: "My code literally makes music"
• No one has done reactive music for coding before — genuinely novel
• Combines two massive communities: developers and lo-fi/music lovers
• The demo video alone could go viral — watching music change as code is written

Features

• Reactive soundtrack — Music dynamically shifts based on coding events
  • Commit → beat drop
  • Test pass → melodic resolution
  • Test fail → minor key shift
  • Error/exception → dramatic tension
  • Idle → ambient drone
  • Deploy → triumphant crescendo
• Genre modes — Lo-fi, synthwave, ambient, classical, 8-bit
• Visualizer — Terminal-based audio visualizer that shows the music reacting
• Session recording — Save your coding soundtrack as an MP3/WAV
• Spotify-style wrap — Weekly "Your Vibe Radio Wrapped" with stats and generated playlist
• Collaborative mode — Team coding sessions merge into one shared soundtrack
• Stream mode — OBS integration for streaming your reactive coding music

Distribution

• CLI — viberadio start — runs in background, hooks into git/terminal events
• npm package — npm install -g viberadio-fm
• Claude Code hook — Auto-starts when Claude Code session begins
• Claude Code skill — /viberadio to control playback
• skills.sh — Listed on skills.sh marketplace
• macOS menubar app — Visual controls + now-playing display

Voices & models (bring your own, mix freely)

Text-to-speech follows the shared @vibe/core cascade and is mix-and-match: use your agent's existing provider if it does audio → or a TTS key you supply (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, etc.) → or a local/on-device voice so it works with no key and no network. Different styles can use different models — e.g. an ElevenLabs voice for the monologue, two distinct voices for the podcast hosts, on-device TTS when offline. Per-style voice/model selection is a user setting.

Tech Stack

• Node.js + TypeScript
• TTS: @vibe/core cascade (agent provider → BYO key → on-device); Web Speech / system TTS as the local tier
• Tone.js / Web Audio API (reactive-music style)
• Claude Code hooks + git/watcher (event detection, via @vibe/core)
• Electron or Tauri (optional desktop app)

Prototype

Interactive, self-contained UX prototype (no build, no network): open docs/prototype.html in a browser. The "Speak this line" button uses your browser's on-device speech synthesis — real, offline narration.

Local-first

Runs on your own machine. Nothing leaves it unless you opt a flow into a hosted provider; the on-device tier works fully offline. Enforced by the @vibe/core consent model.

Vibe Suite

Part of the Vibe Suite — companion tools for agentic coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, pi, Kimi, and other harnesses). Ships as CLI + npm package + MCP server.

Revenue Potential

• Free tier: basic narration + lo-fi mode, on-device voices
• Pro: all styles, premium voices, recording, visualizer, Wrapped
• Creator tier: OBS integration, custom sound/voice packs
