What it does

Speak SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Production patterns for Speak language learning API: conversation sessions, pronunciation assessment, audio preprocessing, and batch operations. Use when implementing sdk patterns features, or troubleshooting Speak language learning integration issues. Trigger with phrases like "speak sdk patterns", "speak sdk patterns".

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/code-patterns.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Education, covering Language learning. 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 sdk patterns features
  • Troubleshooting Speak language learning integration issues
  • With phrases like speak sdk patterns
  • Speak sdk patterns

Example prompts

  • “speak sdk patterns”
  • “/speak-sdk-patterns”

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

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    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

    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 SDK Patterns loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
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
~1.9k

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 SDK Patterns

Overview

Production patterns for Speak language learning API: conversation sessions, pronunciation assessment, audio preprocessing, and batch operations.

Prerequisites

  • Completed speak-install-auth setup
  • Valid API credentials configured
  • ffmpeg installed for audio processing

Instructions

Pattern 1: Conversation Session Manager
typescript
class ConversationManager {
  private client: SpeakClient;
  private sessions: Map<string, SessionState> = new Map();

  async startLesson(language: string, scenario: string, level: string) {
    const session = await this.client.startConversation({
      scenario, language, level, nativeLanguage: 'en',
    });
    this.sessions.set(session.id, {
      turns: [], startTime: Date.now(), language,
    });
    return session;
  }

  async submitResponse(sessionId: string, audioPath: string) {
    const turn = await this.client.sendTurn(sessionId, { audioPath });
    this.sessions.get(sessionId)?.turns.push(turn);
    return turn;
  }

  async endAndReport(sessionId: string) {
    const summary = await this.client.endSession(sessionId);
    const state = this.sessions.get(sessionId)!;
    return {
      ...summary,
      duration: (Date.now() - state.startTime) / 1000,
      totalTurns: state.turns.length,
      avgPronunciation: state.turns.reduce((s, t) =>
        s + (t.pronunciationScore || 0), 0) / state.turns.length,
    };
  }
}
Pattern 2: Audio Preprocessor
typescript
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

function preprocessAudio(inputPath: string): string {
  const outputPath = inputPath.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, '.processed.wav');
  // Convert to WAV 16kHz mono PCM — required by Speak API
  execSync(
    `ffmpeg -y -i "${inputPath}" -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le "${outputPath}"`,
    { stdio: 'pipe' }
  );
  return outputPath;
}
Pattern 3: Retry with Backoff
typescript
async function withRetry<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>, maxRetries = 3): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (err: any) {
      if (err.response?.status === 429 && i < maxRetries - 1) {
        const wait = parseInt(err.response.headers['retry-after'] || '5');
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, wait * 1000));
        continue;
      }
      throw err;
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}
Pattern 4: Progress Tracker
typescript
class LearningProgress {
  private history: SessionSummary[] = [];

  addSession(summary: SessionSummary) {
    this.history.push(summary);
  }

  getReport() {
    const recent = this.history.slice(-10);
    return {
      totalSessions: this.history.length,
      avgPronunciation: recent.reduce((s, h) => s + h.avgPronunciationScore, 0) / recent.length,
      totalMinutes: this.history.reduce((s, h) => s + h.durationMinutes, 0),
      vocabularyLearned: [...new Set(this.history.flatMap(h => h.newWords))].length,
    };
  }
}

Output

  • Patterns implementation complete
  • Speak API integration verified
  • Production-ready patterns applied
