What it does

Elevenlabs is an agent skill from zapier/connectors, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Agent-callable ElevenLabs tools — generate spoken audio from text, create sound effects and multi-speaker dialogue, re-voice and clean up audio, transcribe audio and video, design synthetic voices, and manage voices, history, and quota. Use when the user mentions ElevenLabs or wants AI audio work — text to speech, narration, voiceover, transcription, voice changing, or sound design — even if they don't name ElevenLabs explicitly, e.g. "read this aloud", "make an MP3 of this", "transcribe this recording".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 68 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.mcp.json` and `CHANGELOG.md`). Compatibility notes: Run npm install --omit=dev in this directory, then node cli.js. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run cli.js for build-it-yourself /…

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice, Transcription and Music and audio generation. It works with ElevenLabs and Zapier. The repository describes itself as: Connect your agent to the apps you already use - with or without Zapier.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions ElevenLabs
  • Wants AI audio work — text to speech
  • Sound design — even if they dont name ElevenLabs explicitly

Example prompts

  • “t name ElevenLabs explicitly, e.g.”
  • “make an MP3 of this”
  • “transcribe this recording”
  • “/elevenlabs”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e48d26f. 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/ (TypeScript and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx
    • git

    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):

    • agentskills.io

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Elevenlabs loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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

Its licence (Elastic-2.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,291 words (~3,659 tokens).

“Tools for the ElevenLabs AI-audio API: convert text to spoken audio in any of the account's voices, generate sound effects and multi-speaker dialogue, re-voice or denoise existing audio, transcribe audio and video by URL, design brand-new synthetic voices from a…”

How many tokens does Elevenlabs use?

About 3.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 15k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
