What it does

Speak Observability is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Monitor Speak API health, assessment latency, session metrics, and pronunciation score distributions. Use when implementing observability, or managing Speak language learning platform operations. Trigger with phrases like "speak observability", "speak observability".

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/implementation-guide.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability and Language learning. 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

  • Implementing observability
  • Managing Speak language learning platform operations
  • With phrases like speak observability
  • Speak observability

Example prompts

  • “speak observability”
  • “/speak-observability”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Configuration
  2. Implementation
  3. Verification

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(curl:*)
    • 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.speak.com

    Also links to:

    • 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

    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 Observability loads about 653 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~653
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

Speak Observability

Overview

Monitor Speak API health, assessment latency, session metrics, and pronunciation score distributions.

Prerequisites

  • Completed speak-install-auth setup
  • Valid API credentials configured
  • Understanding of Speak API patterns

Instructions

Step 1: Configuration

Configure observability for your Speak integration. Speak uses OpenAI's GPT-4o for AI tutoring and Whisper for speech recognition.

typescript
// speak_observability_config.ts
const config = {
  apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
  appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
};
Step 2: Implementation
typescript
// Core implementation for speak observability
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';

const client = new SpeakClient(config);

// Production-ready implementation
async function setup() {
  const health = await client.health.check();
  console.log("Status:", health.status);
  return health;
}
Step 3: Verification
bash
curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAK_API_KEY" https://api.speak.com/v1/health | jq .

Output

  • Speak Observability configured and verified
  • Production-ready Speak integration
  • Error handling and monitoring in place
