Execute an ElevenLabs production deployment checklist with health checks and rollback.

  • Works in 3 steps: Pre-Deployment Verification → Wire the resilience primitives → Run the pre-flight gate
  • Deploying TTS/voice integrations to production
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Output, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls curl and jq; reaches api.elevenlabs.io; needs ELEVENLABS_API_KEY and PROD_KEY

What it does

Elevenlabs Prod Checklist is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute an ElevenLabs production deployment checklist with health checks and rollback. Use when deploying TTS/voice integrations to production, preparing for launch, or implementing go-live procedures for ElevenLabs-powered apps. Trigger with "elevenlabs production", "deploy elevenlabs", "elevenlabs go-live", "elevenlabs launch checklist", or "production TTS".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/implementation.md` and `references/preflight.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. It works with ElevenLabs. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Deploying TTS/voice integrations to production
  • Preparing for launch
  • Implementing go-live procedures for ElevenLabs-powered apps
  • With elevenlabs production

Example prompts

  • “elevenlabs production”
  • “deploy elevenlabs”
  • “elevenlabs go-live”
  • “/elevenlabs-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
  • A credential in PROD_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash(curl:*), Bash(jq:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-Deployment Verification
  2. Wire the resilience primitives
  3. Run the pre-flight gate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Bash(jq:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    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

    Also links to:

    • elevenlabs.io
    • status.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
    • PROD_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Elevenlabs Prod Checklist loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

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.

ElevenLabs Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for deploying ElevenLabs TTS/voice integrations to production. Covers API configuration, health checks, circuit breakers, monitoring, and rollback procedures. The deep code for the resilience primitives lives in references/ so this file stays a fast, scannable runbook — drill in when you need the full implementation.

Prerequisites

  • Staging environment tested and verified
  • Production API key (separate from dev/staging)
  • Monitoring and alerting infrastructure ready

Instructions

Step 1: Pre-Deployment Verification

Walk the checklist below. Every unchecked box is a launch blocker.

Configuration:

  • Production API key stored in secure vault (not in code)
  • ELEVENLABS_API_KEY set in deployment platform's secrets
  • Webhook secret configured (if using webhooks)
  • Using production model ID (eleven_multilingual_v2 or eleven_v3)

Code Quality:

  • All tests passing with mocked ElevenLabs SDK
  • No hardcoded API keys (scan with grep -r "sk_" src/)
  • Error handling covers 400, 401, 404, 429, 5xx responses
  • Rate limiting implemented matching plan concurrency limit
  • Text splitting handles inputs > 5,000 characters
  • Audio output format appropriate for use case

Quota Planning:

  • Estimated monthly character usage fits within plan limit
  • Usage-based billing enabled (Creator+ plans) if needed
  • Flash/Turbo models used where latency matters more than quality
Step 2: Wire the resilience primitives

Production ElevenLabs integrations need three primitives. The full drop-in TypeScript for each is in references/implementation.md — high-level intent:

  1. Health check endpoint — reports connectivity, latency, and remaining quota; returns degraded past 90% quota and unhealthy on any API failure, so a load balancer can gate traffic.
  2. Circuit breaker — opens after N consecutive failures, cools down, then probes half-open; accepts a fallback (placeholder audio / cached clip / null) so a TTS outage degrades gracefully instead of throwing.
  3. Monitoring & alerting — emit one structured metric per TTS call and drive the alert thresholds in the table below into your observability platform.
Step 3: Run the pre-flight gate

Before promoting a build, run the pre-flight script — it checks connectivity, quota, voice availability, and a live TTS smoke test, exiting non-zero on any hard failure so it can block a CI/CD deploy step. Full script + CI wiring: references/preflight.md.

bash
# The load-bearing first gate — full script in references/preflight.md
HTTP=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user \
  -H "xi-api-key: ${ELEVENLABS_API_KEY}")
[ "$HTTP" != "200" ] && echo "FAIL: API not reachable" && exit 1
Show full SKILL.md (248 more words)Show less

Output

Running this checklist produces:

  • A completed pre-deployment verification (every box in Step 1 checked or explicitly waived).
  • A health-check endpoint returning healthy / degraded / unhealthy plus latency and remaining quota.
  • A circuit breaker and monitoring harness wired into the TTS call path.
  • A green pre-flight run (=== All checks passed ===, exit 0) gating the deploy.
  • A monitoring/alerting matrix mapped to your on-call severities (see below).

Deployment Monitoring

AlertConditionSeverity
API unreachableHealth check fails 3xP1 — Critical
Quota exhausted401 quota_exceededP1 — Critical
High error rate5xx > 5% of requestsP2 — High
Rate limited429 > 10/min sustainedP2 — High
High latencyp99 > 5000msP3 — Medium
Quota warning> 80% usedP3 — Medium

Error Handling

ScenarioResponse
ElevenLabs API downCircuit breaker opens; fallback to cached/placeholder audio
Quota exhausted mid-dayAlert team; switch to Flash model (0.5x cost); queue non-urgent requests
Voice deletedReturn 404 to caller; alert; fall back to default voice
Webhook delivery failingMonitor ElevenLabs webhook health; webhooks auto-disable after 10 failures

Examples

Gate a deploy on the pre-flight script. Run it as the last step before promotion; a non-zero exit blocks the pipeline:

bash
$ ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=$PROD_KEY ./scripts/pre-flight-check.sh
=== ElevenLabs Pre-Flight Check ===
API connectivity: HTTP 200
Characters remaining: 428193
Voices available: 14
TTS smoke test: HTTP 200
=== All checks passed ===
$ echo $?
0

Poll the health endpoint for a load-balancer probe. A degraded status (quota > 90%) still serves traffic but pages on-call; unhealthy drains the node:

bash
$ curl -s https://myapp.example.com/health | jq '.status, .elevenlabs.quotaPctUsed'
"healthy"
41

Full worked implementations for both: references/implementation.md and references/preflight.md.
