What it does

Dashscope is an agent skill from calesthio/OpenMontage. DashScope (Alibaba Cloud Bailian / 阿里云百炼) integration — image generation (qwen-image-2.0-pro), text-to-speech (qwen3-tts-flash), and ASR with word-level timestamps (qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans). Use when generating images via Qwen-Image, narrating via Qwen-TTS, or transcribing with word-level timestamps via Qwen-ASR.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice, Speech recognition and synthesis and Image generation. It works with Qwen and Alibaba Cloud. The repository describes itself as: World's first open-source, agentic video production system. 12 production pipelines, 100+ tools, 700+ agent skill and production-knowledge files. Turn your AI coding assistant… The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Generating images via Qwen-Image
Narrating via Qwen-TTS
Transcribing with word-level timestamps via Qwen-ASR

Example prompts

“/dashscope”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Image: Generate a sample first. Check prompt_extend: true (default) — DashScope rewrites your prompt for better results. Disable if you…
TTS: Generate a 10-15 second sample before full narration. Approve voice and pacing before committing to full generation.
ASR: Audio must be at a publicly accessible URL. Upload to any public host (S3, etc.) first. Local paths are rejected with a clear error.
Subtitles: Build from result.data["words"] — each word has begin_time_seconds and end_time_seconds. Group words into caption phrases by…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9327439. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
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:
- dashscope.aliyuncs.com
Also links to:
- dashscope.aliyun.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dashscope loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.5k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:8

Requires `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` in `.env`. Get one at https://dashscope.aliyun.com/.

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.

name: dashscope
description: DashScope (Alibaba Cloud Bailian / 阿里云百炼) integration — image generation (qwen-image-2.0-pro), text-to-speech (qwen3-tts-flash), and ASR with word-level timestamps (qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans). Use when generating images via Qwen-Image, narrating via Qwen-TTS, or transcribing with word-level timestamps via Qwen-ASR.

DashScope

Requires DASHSCOPE_API_KEY in .env. Get one at https://dashscope.aliyun.com/.

Current API

CRITICAL: DashScope's /compatible-mode/v1/ only supports /chat/completions and /embeddings. Image generation, TTS, and ASR all use DashScope-native endpoints — not OpenAI-compatible paths.

All three tools use Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY.

Image Generation

text

POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/multimodal-generation/generation

Model: qwen-image-2.0-pro (default), qwen-image-max, wan2.7-image, z-image-turbo
Body: {model, input: {messages: [{role: "user", content: [{text: "prompt"}]}]}, parameters: {size: "W*H", n, prompt_extend, watermark}}
Size format uses asterisk: "1024*1024" not "1024x1024"
Response: output.choices[0].message.content[0].image (URL, valid ~24h) — must download separately

Text-to-Speech

text

POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/multimodal-generation/generation

Same endpoint as image gen, different body.

Model: qwen3-tts-flash (default), qwen3-tts-instruct-flash, qwen-tts-2025-05-22
Body: {model, input: {text, voice: "Cherry", language_type: "Auto"}}
Response: output.audio.url (WAV, valid ~24h) — must download separately

ASR with Word-Level Timestamps

text

POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/audio/asr/transcription
Header: X-DashScope-Async: enable

Model: qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans (NOT qwen3-asr-flash — the sync version has no word timestamps)
Body: {model, input: {file_url: "https://public-url/audio.mp3"}, parameters: {enable_words: true, language_hints: ["zh","en"]}}
Returns task_id → poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} until SUCCEEDED → download output.result.transcription_url → JSON with transcripts[].sentences[].words[]
Timestamps in begin_time/end_time are in milliseconds — the tool normalizes to seconds

OpenMontage Usage

Image via selector

python

from tools.graphics.image_selector import ImageSelector

result = ImageSelector().execute({
    "preferred_provider": "dashscope",
    "prompt": "一只猫坐在沙发上",
    "output_path": "projects/my-video/assets/images/cat.png",
})

TTS via selector

python

from tools.audio.tts_selector import TTSSelector

result = TTSSelector().execute({
    "preferred_provider": "dashscope",
    "text": "如果 AI 真的会改变未来，普通人到底该怎么参与？",
    "voice": "Cherry",
    "output_path": "projects/my-video/assets/audio/narration.wav",
})

ASR directly (word timestamps for subtitles)

python

from tools.analysis.dashscope_asr import DashscopeAsr

result = DashscopeAsr().execute({
    "audio_url": "https://example.com/narration.wav",
    "output_path": "projects/my-video/assets/audio/transcription.json",
})

# result.data["words"] is a flat list of {text, begin_time_seconds, end_time_seconds}

Recommended Workflow

Image: Generate a sample first. Check prompt_extend: true (default) — DashScope rewrites your prompt for better results. Disable if you need literal prompt adherence.
TTS: Generate a 10-15 second sample before full narration. Approve voice and pacing before committing to full generation.
ASR: Audio must be at a publicly accessible URL. Upload to any public host (S3, etc.) first. Local paths are rejected with a clear error.
Subtitles: Build from result.data["words"] — each word has begin_time_seconds and end_time_seconds. Group words into caption phrases by language semantics, not fixed character count.

Parameters

Image (`dashscope_image`)

prompt (required): text prompt
model: default qwen-image-2.0-pro
size: default "1024*1024" — asterisk separator, not "x"
n: 1-6 images
negative_prompt: things to avoid (max 500 chars)
prompt_extend: default true — auto-rewrite prompt for better results
watermark: default false
seed: for reproducibility

Show full SKILL.md (194 more words)Show less

TTS (`dashscope_tts`)

text (required): text to synthesize (max 600 chars for qwen3-tts-flash)
model: default qwen3-tts-flash
voice: default "Cherry" — other voices: "Ethan", "Chelsie", etc.
language_type: default "Auto" — "Chinese", "English", "Japanese", "Korean"
instructions: natural language delivery instructions (only for qwen3-tts-instruct-flash)

ASR (`dashscope_asr`)

audio_url (required): must be publicly accessible URL
model: qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans (only model that supports word timestamps)
language_hints: default ["zh", "en"]
enable_words: default true — required for word-level timestamps
poll_interval_seconds: default 5.0
timeout_seconds: default 300

Troubleshooting

Image size error: Use "W*H" with asterisk, not "WxH". Example: "2048*2048".
TTS no audio URL: Check output.audio.url — if empty, the model name or voice may be wrong.
ASR "file not accessible": audio_url must be publicly reachable. DashScope servers fetch the file; local paths and auth-gated URLs don't work.
ASR poll timeout: Increase timeout_seconds (default 300). Long audio files take longer to transcribe.
ASR no word timestamps: Ensure enable_words: true and model is qwen3-asr-flash-filetrans (not the sync qwen3-asr-flash).
Auth error (401): Verify DASHSCOPE_API_KEY is set. Use Authorization: Bearer $KEY header.

Safety

Never print or write the API key to logs, metadata, patches, or project artifacts. .env.example should contain only empty variable names. The tool's _safe_error() method redacts the key from error messages.
