What it does

Tts is an agent skill from alsk1992/CloddsBot. Text-to-speech synthesis with ElevenLabs and system voices

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `index.ts`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. It works with ElevenLabs. The repository describes itself as: Open Source AI trading agent that operates autonomously across 1000+ markets - Polymarket, Kalshi, Binance, Hyperliquid, Solana DEXs, 5 EVM chains. Scans for edge, executes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Text to speech and voice

Example prompts

  • “/tts”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use streaming — For long text, reduces time to first audio
  2. Cache common phrases — "Order filled", "Alert triggered"
  3. Adjust speed — Faster for alerts, slower for details
  4. Queue management — Don't overlap important messages
  5. Fallback provider — Use say/espeak if ElevenLabs unavailable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c930628. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tts loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
  // Play audio chunks as they arrive
  audioPlayer.write(chunk);
});

stream.on('end', () => {
  console.log('Synthesis complete');
});
List Voices
typescript
// Get available voices
const voices = await tts.listVoices();

for (const voice of voices) {
  console.log(`${voice.id}: ${voice.name}`);
  console.log(`  Gender: ${voice.gender}`);
  console.log(`  Accent: ${voice.accent}`);
  console.log(`  Use case: ${voice.useCase}`);
}
