Voice

ONE COMPONENT: VoicePill5 STATESLEVEL 3 · TRANSIENT

Voice is an entrance, not a place. You speak, Milo listens, understands, works and is done — then the pill disappears. It is the same Milo Core the composer talks to, aware of the surface you are on.

Anatomy11.01

The pill

LISTENINGPause the Euangelion render
  1. Ring — Milo Vermilion. Its motion is the state: breathing, dashed rotation, pulse, resolve.
  2. State word — mono microtype. The label carries the state; the ring only echoes it.
  3. Transcript — live, interface sans, one line, ellipsised. Replaced by Milo's reply in Working and Done.
  4. Position — fixed, top-centre, 16px from the edge, level 3 shadow. It never covers the primary action.

Runs the full sequence at the top of the viewport, then disappears.

Quick Entry — the keyboard equivalent

Invoke. Type. Submit. Disappear. The toast is Milo's acknowledgement.

Rules11.04

Invocation

  • 01One entrance from anywhere: the system hotkey, the menu-bar item on macOS, the Hyprland bind on Omarchy, or the ◉ button on a surface.
  • 02Milo already knows the context — the current project, task, artifact and machine. You do not name them unless you mean a different one.
  • 03Anything that changes files, spends money or touches another machine goes through a PermissionRequest first. Voice never bypasses level 4.
  • 04Milo replies in UI language: brief, calm, precise. "On it." "Done." "This needs your approval."
  • 05Under reduced motion the ring is still; the state word does all the work.
Not this11.05

What voice is not

  • A Siri orb
  • A giant waveform
  • A voice dashboard or history surface
  • A separate assistant with a separate memory
  • Always listening
