Use 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.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to convert text into speech, generate audio from text, or produce voiceovers. Triggers include: any mention of 'TTS', 'text to speech', 'speak', 'say', 'voice', 'read aloud', 'audio narration', 'voiceover', 'dubbing', or requests to turn written content into spoken audio. Also use when converting EPUB/PDF/SRT/articles to audio, cloning voices from reference audio, controlling emotion or speed in speech, aligning speech to subtitle timelines, or producing per-segment voice-mapped audio.

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), tune emotional parameters like warmth or tenderness, or make TTS output feel like a real person talking. If the user asks for a 'voice message', 'companion audio', 'character voice', or wants speech that sighs, laughs, hesitates, or sounds genuinely warm, use this skill. Do NOT use for plain text-to-speech without personality, music generation, sound effects, or general coding tasks unrelated to expressive speech.
