# Silence Narrator Immediately
Stop all current and queued speech output immediately.
## Steps
Run the following commands to kill all speech processes and clean up:
```bash
# Kill the speak daemon if running
if [ -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid ]; then
kill $(cat ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid) 2>/dev/null || true
rm -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid
fi
# Kill any running kokoro-speak.py processes
pkill -f kokoro-speak.py 2>/dev/null || true
# Remove the FIFO to clear any queued messages
rm -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/fifo
```
## After Hushing
Narrator remains enabled after hushing -- only the current and queued speech is stopped. New hook-triggered speech will resume when Claude's next action fires a hook. The daemon will be restarted automatically by speak.sh when the next speech is enqueued.
If the user wants to disable narrator entirely (not just silence current speech), suggest using `/narrator:off` instead.
Inform the user: "Silenced. Narrator is still enabled and will speak on the next action."
