Description
Convert text to speech using SkillBoss API Hub. Use when the user asks for an audio message, a voice reply, or to hear something "of vive voix".
Usage Guidance
Before installing or running this skill: - Verify you trust the SkillBoss / heybossai.com service. Any text you send will be posted to that external API with your SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. - Provide only a dedicated API key with minimal permissions if possible; avoid using a key with broad account access. - Be aware the skill expects Node (ESM) and the commander package; the registry metadata doesn't declare Node as required and there's no install step — ensure your agent environment already has a compatible Node runtime and dependencies or examine/modify the scripts to run safely. - The package-lock.json contains many packages (including an 'openai' entry) that the scripts do not use; do not blindly run npm install in an elevated environment without reviewing the lockfile. - If you plan to convert sensitive text, review the API provider's privacy policy and consider running TTS with a local or fully-audited provider instead. - If you need full assurance, ask the skill author to correct the metadata (declare SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and required runtime), provide a minimal package-lock, or publish a clear install script that only pulls known, necessary dependencies.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: toby-tts Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides text-to-speech functionality by interfacing with the SkillBoss API (api.heybossai.com). The scripts generate_hume_speech.js and generate_speech.js take text input and save the resulting audio to a specified path using standard Node.js file system operations. The code is transparent, lacks obfuscation, and performs only the actions described in the documentation without any evidence of malicious intent or unauthorized data access.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (TTS via SkillBoss API Hub) aligns with the included scripts: both scripts POST text to https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot and write an MP3 file. However, the registry metadata at the top of the report lists no required env vars or required binaries, while SKILL.md and the scripts require SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and assume Node is available — this metadata mismatch is inconsistent.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits runtime actions to invoking the provided Node scripts with SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, generating audio, and printing a MEDIA: path. The scripts only POST to the SkillBoss API and write an output file; they do not read other local files or additional environment variables. No unexpected remote endpoints are used beyond api.heybossai.com.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification (instruction-only), yet the skill includes Node scripts and a package-lock.json/package.json. The registry metadata did not declare Node or any required binaries. The scripts rely on Node's runtime (ESM import syntax and global fetch) and the commander package; without an explicit install step, the environment may lack dependencies. The package-lock.json contains many packages (including an 'openai' entry) that are not used by the scripts; that is unusual but not directly malicious — it is messy and could confuse auditing or cause unexpected installs if someone runs npm install blindly.
Credentials
The only secret the SKILL.md requires is SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is appropriate for a TTS integration. But the top-level metadata did not declare this required env var or a primary credential, creating an inconsistency. Also note: providing the API key will send the text you convert to an external service (heybossai.com), so sensitive or private text would be transmitted to that third party.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/always-on presence (always: false) and does not modify other skills or global agent settings. It appears to run only when invoked and only writes the generated audio file to disk.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install toby-tts
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /toby-tts
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
