# Disable Narrator Voice Output

To disable narrator voice output:

## Step 1: Determine Scope

Check if the user said "locally", "for this directory", "for this project", or similar. If so, changes apply to the **local** config file in the current working directory.

- **Global** (default): `~/.claude-code-narrator/config`
- **Local**: `<cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/config`

## Step 2: Update State File

### Global mode (default):

Read `~/.claude-code-narrator/config`. If the file exists, use the Edit tool to change the `enabled=` line to `enabled=false`. If the file does not exist, create it with the Write tool containing just `enabled=false`.

### Local mode:

Read `<cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/config`. If the file exists and has an `enabled=` line, use the Edit tool to change it to `enabled=false`. If the file exists but has no `enabled=` line, use the Edit tool to add `enabled=false`. If the file does not exist, create the `<cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/` directory if needed, then create the `config` file with the Write tool containing just `enabled=false`.

To remove the local override entirely (reverting to global state), delete the `<cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/` directory instead.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use `sed` to edit state files — use the Read and Edit tools instead.

## Step 3: Remove Auto-Hush Hook (global mode only)

Only for global mode: Read `~/.claude/settings.json`. If it has a `UserPromptSubmit` hook that runs `hush-on-input.sh`, remove that entire `UserPromptSubmit` entry from the `hooks` object. Preserve all other hooks.

For local mode, do NOT remove the auto-hush hook (other sessions may still need it).

IMPORTANT: Do NOT remove other hooks — only remove the narrator `UserPromptSubmit` hook. Read the file first.

## Step 4: Confirm

For global mode, inform the user: "Narrator is now disabled. Voice output is off."

For local mode, inform the user: "Narrator is now disabled for this directory. Global setting is unchanged."

Do NOT attempt to speak this confirmation (narrator is now off).
