What it does
Characteristic Voice is an agent skill from NoizAI/skills. Use this skill whenever the user wants speech to sound more human, companion-like, or emotionally expressive. Triggers include: any mention of 'say like', 'talk like', 'speak like', 'companion voice', 'comfort me', 'cheer me up', 'sound more human', 'good night voice', 'good morning voice', or requests to add fillers, emotion, or personality to generated speech. Also use when the user wants to mimic a specific character's voice, apply speaking style presets (goodnight, morning, comfort, celebration, chatting)…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/speak.sh`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice and Music and audio generation. The repository describes itself as: Allow your 🦞 bot to Shout, Speak, with "human" vibe.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants speech to sound more human
- Emotionally expressive
- Include: any mention of say like
- Companion voice
Example prompts
- “say like”
- “talk like”
- “speak like”
- “/characteristic-voice”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- A credential in NOIZ_API_KEY
- A credential in YOUR_KEY
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Non-lexical fillers — sprinkle in little human noises (hmm, haha, aww, heh) at natural pause points to make speech feel alive
- Emotion tuning — adjust warmth, joy, sadness, tenderness to match the moment
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 779f30a. 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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashyt-dlprgffmpeguv
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:
noiz.ai
Also links to:
github.comdevelopers.noiz.aiffmpeg.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
NOIZ_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Characteristic Voice loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 654 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 654 words (~1,800 tokens).
“Make your AI agent sound like a real companion — one who sighs, laughs, hesitates, and speaks with genuine feeling.”
