ParrotFlow

Guides

Step-by-step guides for ParrotFlow. Each one solves one problem, shows the exact config, and says how to check that it worked before you rely on it.

Each guide gives the config to paste, the command that checks it, and the limits we know about.

Write your first rule

You say “P zero” and want “P0”. Add a three-line rule to config.yaml, or ask your coding agent to write it.

Set up offline dictation on a Mac

You want dictation that works with no network. Install once, download the models once, and know exactly which steps still go online.

Teach ParrotFlow a word

A name or a library keeps coming out wrong. Teach it once, check that it stuck, and keep ordinary words like “view” ordinary.

You talk about pull requests by number. Say “PR 478” and get a link to pull request #478 in your repository.

Dictate prompts into Claude Code

You talk to a coding agent all day. Dictate into the terminal with your own vocabulary and rules, and know when Claude Code’s own voice input is enough.

Dictate bug reports

You say a rough note about a bug. Press B, and a local model turns it into a report with fixed headings.

Format dictation with a local model

You want grammar fixes or an email layout without sending text off your Mac. Set up Ollama and run a prompt step on demand.

Text replacements for dictation

You want product names, units or a signature written your way. Write replace tables, put them in the pipeline, and check the order.

Post-process dictation with a Python script

A table is not enough. Any script that reads text and writes text can be a step, and ParrotFlow keeps your text if the script fails.

ParrotFlow hears you but types nothing

The transcript is right but nothing lands in the app. Check the permissions and the focus, quickest check first.
