At a glance

A skill your agent uses when an Agent needs to speak to the operator through TTS, interpret ASR text, request clarification, or confirm a robot delivery action.

  • An Agent needs to speak to the operator through TTS
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • Interpret ASR text
  • Request clarification

What it does

Hri is an agent skill from terrense/ros2-multimodal-robot-collab. Use this skill when an Agent needs to speak to the operator through TTS, interpret ASR text, request clarification, or confirm a robot delivery action.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `examples/say_delivery_started.json`, `schema.json` and `scripts/publish_tts.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Speech recognition and synthesis and Text to speech and voice. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • An Agent needs to speak to the operator through TTS
  • Interpret ASR text
  • Request clarification
  • Confirm a robot delivery action

Example prompts

  • “/hri”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 47f7fca. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Hri loads about 268 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~268

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.

HRI Skill

HRI bridges human speech, gesture, and robot task status.

Topics:

  • ASR input: /hri/asr_text, std_msgs/msg/String
  • TTS output: /hri/tts_text, std_msgs/msg/String
  • Gesture input: /hri/gesture_command, robot_collab_interfaces/msg/GestureCommand
  • Arm control output: /arm/control_command, robot_collab_interfaces/msg/ArmControlCommand
  • Mission events: /mission/events, robot_collab_interfaces/msg/MissionEvent

Gesture vocabulary:

  • Fist means pause the manipulator.
  • Open palm means stop and request shutdown/safe-stop behavior.
  • Thumb up means start or resume work.

Planner rules:

  • Keep spoken output short and action-oriented.
  • Ask clarification when the tool id, station id, or operator id is ambiguous.
  • Ask confirmation before entering a shared human workspace.
  • Convert mission failures into helpful next steps, not raw stack traces.
