At a glance

Generate an MP3 pronunciation of a glossary term using ElevenLabs TTS API and insert a "Pronounce" button into the term's entry in a markdown file.

  • Works in 5 steps: Identify the Term and Target File → Generate the MP3 → Insert the Pronounce Button → …
  • The user says Create a pronounce button for the term X
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Prerequisites, Workflow and Voice Options, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3; needs ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

What it does

Pronounce Button is an agent skill from dmccreary/ibook-skills. Generate an MP3 pronunciation of a glossary term using ElevenLabs TTS API and insert a "Pronounce" button into the term's entry in a markdown file. Trigger when the user says "Create a pronounce button for the term X" or "Add pronunciation for X". Defaults to glossary.md if no file is specified.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/generate-pronunciation.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice and Language learning. It works with ElevenLabs.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says Create a pronounce button for the term X
  • Add pronunciation for X

Example prompts

  • “Pronounce”
  • “s entry in a markdown file. Trigger when the user says”
  • “Add pronunciation for X”
  • “/pronounce-button”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the Term and Target File
  2. Generate the MP3
  3. Insert the Pronounce Button
  4. Ensure CSS Exists
  5. Confirm to User

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98a9991. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • en.wikipedia.org

    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

Pronounce Button loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 782 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 782 words (~1,887 tokens).
