When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Text to speech and voice

Example prompts

“Use the elevenlabs-tts skill to elevenlab Text-to-Speech API for high-quality speech synthesis”
“/elevenlabs-tts”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Split text into chunks at sentence boundaries
Generate audio for each chunk
Concatenate using ffmpeg or pydub

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- ffmpeg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.elevenlabs.io
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

Elevenlabs Tts loads about 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~590

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.

def text_to_speech(text, output_path):
    url = f"https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/{VOICE_ID}"

    headers = {
        "xi-api-key": ELEVENLABS_API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }

    data = {
        "text": text,
        "model_id": "eleven_turbo_v2_5",
        "voice_settings": {
            "stability": 0.5,
            "similarity_boost": 0.75
        }
    }

    response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)

    if response.status_code == 200:
        with open(output_path, "wb") as f:
            f.write(response.content)
        return True
    else:
        print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")
        return False

Handling Long Text

ElevenLabs has a ~5000 character limit per request. For long documents:

Split text into chunks at sentence boundaries
Generate audio for each chunk
Concatenate using ffmpeg or pydub:

bash

# Create file list
echo "file 'chunk1.mp3'" > files.txt
echo "file 'chunk2.mp3'" >> files.txt

# Concatenate
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i files.txt -c copy output.mp3

Best Practices

Split at sentence boundaries to avoid cutting words
Check rate limits (varies by subscription tier)
Cache generated audio to avoid redundant API calls
