 "summary": "Search AllModels voices in plain language, hear samples, then pick one.",
 "who": "A content creator or narrator who needs a voice with a specific tone, language, or accent and wants to hear options before choosing.",
 "problem": "Browsing a large voice list by name is slow, and choosing a voice blind risks a poor fit for the audio.",
 "outcome": "You select a voice that matches your description after hearing a sample of it.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `/speech tts voice search` and describe the voice you want, for example British female narrator.",
  "Run `/speech tts voice preview` and add a short sample sentence to hear the candidate.",
  "Ask Hermes to switch to the voice you prefer, or repeat the search with different wording.",
  "Run `/speech test Hello from Hermes` to confirm the chosen voice plays through Hermes."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the hermes-speech plugin from allmodels-io/hermes-speech, search for a voice that matches <target description> and preview one candidate. Expected output: a short MP3 sample returned through Hermes MEDIA delivery, with the configured voice unchanged. Verify that the preview did not change the configured TTS model, voice, speed, or format.",
