# Hume CLI commands are interactive; use flags in scripts

## TL;DR

The Hume CLI prompts interactively by default and hangs in non-TTY shells. Use flags for non-interactive mode in scripts and CI. Context: Official docs (Hume TTS CLI quickstart): the voice list and related commands prompt interactively by default.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

**When not to use this skill:** unrelated tasks. It covers only the procedure above.

## Compatibility

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

## Details

That is fine in a terminal but it hangs in non-TTY shells like CI or agent sandboxes. Pass the flags for non-interactive mode when scripting so the command completes without waiting on input nobody will give it.
