Setup

Install or repair the local mlx-audio tooling that pst's text-to-speech depends on (uv tool install + spaCy model). Use when the user runs "/pst:setup", is setting up pst for the first time, or when tts fails because mlx-audio / mlx_audio.tts.generate is missing or broken.

pst Setup

One-time (idempotent) install of the on-device TTS engine that tts relies on.

Steps

Run the setup script. It ships with the plugin and is on the Bash PATH while the plugin is enabled:
```
pst-setup
```
Report the outcome to the user based on how it exits:
- Success — tell them TTS is ready and they can try /pst:tts or tts "hello world".
- uv is not installed — the script prints install instructions (brew install uv, or the astral.sh installer). Relay those and tell them to re-run /pst:setup once uv is available.
- Any other failure — show the error output; the install can be retried by running pst-setup again.

Notes

Safe to re-run — it uses uv tool install --force and re-downloads the spaCy model, so it doubles as a repair command.
Requires uv and macOS on Apple Silicon.
Always call pst-setup rather than pasting the raw uv tool install command by hand — the script pins the exact, tested flags (git-main source, the no-phonemizer rule, the spaCy model step).
