What it does

Elevenlabs Tts is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. This skill converts text to high-quality audio files using ElevenLabs API. Use this skill when users request text-to-speech generation, audio narration, or voice synthesis with customizable voice parameters (stability, similarity boost) and voice presets (rachel, adam, bella, elli, josh, arnold, ava).

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `references/api_reference.md` and `scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. It works with ElevenLabs and Python. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Users request text-to-speech generation
Audio narration
Voice synthesis with customizable voice parameters (stability
Similarity boost) and voice presets (rachel

Example prompts

“/elevenlabs-tts”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Ensure the .env file contains a valid ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
Execute the script with text: python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Your text here"
Specify voice and output: python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Text" --voice adam --output audio/output.mp3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b88261. 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:
- python
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

Elevenlabs Tts loads about 792 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~792
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.4k

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.

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.

name: elevenlabs-tts
description: This skill converts text to high-quality audio files using ElevenLabs API. Use this skill when users request text-to-speech generation, audio narration, or voice synthesis with customizable voice parameters (stability, similarity boost) and voice presets (rachel, adam, bella, elli, josh, arnold, ava).

ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech

Overview

Generate professional audio files from text using ElevenLabs' advanced text-to-speech API. The skill provides pre-configured voice presets with sensible defaults, voice parameter customization, and direct access to the scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py script for programmatic control.

Quick Start

To generate audio from text:

Ensure the .env file contains a valid ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
Execute the script with text: python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Your text here"
Specify voice and output: python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Text" --voice adam --output audio/output.mp3

Voice Presets

Seven pre-configured voices are available. See references/api_reference.md for complete voice descriptions:

rachel (default) - Clear, professional female
adam - Deep, authoritative male
bella - Warm, friendly female
elli - Young, enthusiastic female
josh - Friendly, conversational male
arnold - Deep, powerful male
ava - Expressive, dynamic female

Parameters

Text

The text to convert to speech. Any length is supported.

Voice Selection

Specify voice using preset name (e.g., rachel, adam) or direct ElevenLabs voice ID.

Voice Parameters

stability (0.0-1.0, default 0.5): Lower values create expressive variation; higher values ensure consistency
similarity_boost (0.0-1.0, default 0.75): Higher values maintain closer adherence to voice characteristics

Output

Specify the output file path. Default is output.mp3. Directories are created automatically.

Usage Examples

Basic Python Usage

python

from scripts.elevenlabs_tts import generate_speech

path = generate_speech(
    text="Hello, this is a test message",
    voice_id="rachel"
)

Command Line

bash

# With default voice
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Generate this text"

# With custom voice and stability
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Different voice" --voice adam --stability 0.7

# To custom output path
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "Save here" --output audio/narration.mp3

# List available voices
python scripts/elevenlabs_tts.py "" --list-voices

Implementation Notes

The script handles API communication with error reporting
Output directories are created automatically if they don't exist
Returns absolute path to generated audio file
Uses eleven_monolingual_v1 model by default (can be overridden)

Resources
