Set up Speak language learning API integration and authentication.

  • Works in 5 steps: Install Dependencies → Configure Authentication → Initialize the Client → …
  • Configuring Speak API access
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Output, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls npm; needs SPEAK_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY

What it does

Speak Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Set up Speak language learning API integration and authentication. Use when configuring Speak API access, setting up OAuth with OpenAI Realtime API for speech, or initializing a language tutoring application. Trigger with phrases like "install speak", "setup speak", "speak auth", "configure speak API", "speak language learning setup".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/setup-examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Education, covering Language learning, Tutoring and explanations and Third-party API integration. It works with OpenAI. 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

  • Configuring Speak API access
  • Setting up OAuth with OpenAI Realtime API for speech
  • Initializing a language tutoring application
  • With phrases like install speak

Example prompts

  • “install speak”
  • “setup speak”
  • “speak auth”
  • “/speak-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in SPEAK_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(pip:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install Dependencies
  2. Configure Authentication
  3. Initialize the Client
  4. Configure Speech Recognition
  5. Supported Languages

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
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(pip:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    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):

    • speak.com
    • platform.openai.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SPEAK_API_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_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

Speak Install Auth loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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: notes

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

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:62
    # Create .env file
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:63
    cat << 'EOF' >> .env

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.

Speak Install & Auth

Overview

Set up the Speak language learning platform integration. Speak uses OpenAI's GPT-4o and Realtime API for AI tutoring with real-time pronunciation feedback. Supports 14+ languages including Korean, Spanish, Japanese, French, and Mandarin.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
  • Speak developer account with API access
  • Microphone for speech input testing

Instructions

Step 1: Install Dependencies
bash
set -euo pipefail
# Core Speak SDK
npm install @speak/language-sdk

# Audio processing dependencies
npm install openai          # OpenAI Realtime API for speech
npm install fluent-ffmpeg   # Audio format conversion
npm install node-record-lpcm16  # Microphone capture
Step 2: Configure Authentication
bash
# Speak API credentials
export SPEAK_API_KEY="your-speak-api-key"
export SPEAK_APP_ID="your-app-id"

# OpenAI key for Realtime API (used by Speak for speech processing)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-key"

# Create .env file
cat << 'EOF' >> .env
SPEAK_API_KEY=your-speak-api-key
SPEAK_APP_ID=your-app-id
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
EOF
Step 3: Initialize the Client
typescript
// src/speak/client.ts
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';

const client = new SpeakClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
  appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
  language: 'es', // Target language: es, ko, ja, fr, de, pt, zh, id
});

// Verify connection
async function verifySetup() {
  const languages = await client.getLanguages();
  console.log('Available languages:', languages.map(l => l.code).join(', '));
  const health = await client.health.check();
  console.log('API status:', health.status);
}

verifySetup();
Step 4: Configure Speech Recognition
typescript
// OpenAI Realtime API for speech-to-text (used by Speak)
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI();

async function transcribeAudio(audioPath: string): Promise<string> {
  const transcription = await openai.audio.transcriptions.create({
    file: fs.createReadStream(audioPath),
    model: 'whisper-1',
    language: 'es', // Match target language
  });
  return transcription.text;
}

Next Steps

After successful auth, proceed to speak-hello-world for your first lesson session.

Examples

Quick test: Set SPEAK_API_KEY, initialize the client with language: 'ko' for Korean, and call client.health.check() to verify connectivity.

Python setup: Install speak-language-sdk via pip, initialize with api_key from environment, and verify with a health check.
