At a glance

Generate spoken audio from text using the local Kokoro TTS engine.

  • The user asks to say something
  • SKILL.md covers Configuration, Usage and Available Voices
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node
  • Requests a voice message

What it does

Kokoro Tts is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Generate spoken audio from text using the local Kokoro TTS engine. Use when the user asks to "say" something, requests a voice message, or wants text converted to speech.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/voices.md` and `scripts/tts.js`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to say something
  • Requests a voice message
  • Wants text converted to speech

Example prompts

  • “/kokoro-tts”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Kokoro Tts loads about 386 tokens when it runs, and up to ~508 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~386
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~508

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:15
    ur-server:port/v1/audio/speech` to your `.env` file or environment.

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 143 words (~386 tokens).

“This skill allows you to generate high-quality AI speech using a local or remote Kokoro-TTS instance.”
