Documentation
- info:Configuration & parameter referenceParameters for the tools used (e.g., voice IDs, crossfade_ms) are described within the workflow examples but not in a consolidated parameter reference.
Versioning
- warning:Release ManagementThe skill does not have a discernible versioning mechanism (e.g., semver in frontmatter or GitHub releases), and installation references 'main'.
Practical Utility
- info:Edge casesThe SKILL.md mentions using natural punctuation and short sentences for better speech synthesis but does not extensively detail failure modes or recovery steps.
Code Execution
- warning:Tool FallbackThe skill explicitly requires the `belt` CLI and does not appear to offer a fallback for users who do not have it installed.
- info:Error HandlingError handling details are not explicitly covered in the SKILL.md; it is assumed that the underlying 'belt' CLI and inference.sh applications manage errors.
Errors
- info:Actionable error messagesError handling is assumed to be managed by the `belt` CLI and the underlying inference.sh applications, with specific user-facing error messages not detailed in the SKILL.md.

Speech Generation Skill
100Use when the user asks for text-to-speech narration or voiceover, accessibility reads, audio prompts, or batch speech generation via the OpenAI Audio API; run the bundled CLI (`scripts/text_to_speech.py`) with built-in voices and require `OPENAI_API_KEY` for live calls. Custom voice creation is out of scope.
