What it does

Text To Speech is an agent skill from dmccreary/ibook-skills. Convert text to speech using ElevenLabs voice AI. Use when generating audio from text, creating voiceovers, building voice apps, or synthesizing speech in 70+ languages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/installation.md`, `references/streaming.md` and `references/voice-settings.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires internet access and an ElevenLabs API key (ELEVENLABSAPIKEY).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Generating audio from text
  • Creating voiceovers
  • Building voice apps
  • Synthesizing speech in 70+ languages

Example prompts

  • “/text-to-speech”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires internet access and an ElevenLabs API key (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c58491. 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:

    • curl

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires internet access and an ElevenLabs API key (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY).

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Text To Speech loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 419 words (~1,826 tokens).

“Generate natural speech from text - supports 70+ languages, multiple models for quality vs latency tradeoffs.”
