# Pronounce Developer Jargon
Use this skill when a user asks how to pronounce one developer term, project,
product, AI model, acronym, or researcher name—for example `kubectl`, `nginx`,
`Qwen`, `JEPA`, `GIF`, or `PostgreSQL`. It wraps the open-source `say-it` CLI and
its 1,900+ entry TSV dictionary. The tool plays the intended local pronunciation
through macOS `say`, Linux `espeak-ng`/`espeak`, or Windows PowerShell
`System.Speech`, rather than asking a generic speech engine to guess from the raw
spelling. Dictionary records include General American IPA, an English-like TTS
respelling, alternate readings, confidence labels, editorial notes, and a source
URL when an official FAQ, creator statement, or other useful citation exists.
Do not use this skill to narrate sentences or paragraphs. It is deliberately
scoped to one short technical name. Quote the target when invoking the CLI so
