Description
Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS) for converting text to audio. Use when creating audiobooks, podcasts, or speech synthesis from text. Handles long text by chunki...
Usage Guidance
This is a normal how-to for gTTS. Before using: (1) run pip installs inside a virtual environment, (2) install ffmpeg if you plan to use pydub or the ffmpeg concat approach, (3) be aware gTTS sends text to Google’s public TTS endpoints (avoid sending sensitive or confidential text), (4) gTTS is different from Google Cloud Text-to-Speech (no API key) and may be rate-limited or subject to breakage, and (5) review any installed packages' licenses and versions before installing. The skill itself does not request secrets or elevated privileges.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pg-essay-to-audiobook-gtts
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle provides standard documentation and Python examples for using the Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS) library and pydub for audio processing. The code in SKILL.md follows best practices for handling long text through chunking and temporary file management, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the SKILL.md content: it explains using gTTS and pydub to convert and concatenate audio chunks for long text. Nothing in the instructions requests unrelated services or capabilities.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only demonstrate installing gtts/pydub, chunking text, creating temporary files, generating MP3s, concatenating audio, and cleaning up. The steps operate only on provided text and temporary files and note the need for network access to Google's TTS endpoints; they do not read unrelated system files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry (instruction-only). SKILL.md recommends 'pip install gtts pydub' and optionally using ffmpeg for concatenation. This is normal but means the user will run package installation locally; ffmpeg is an external binary dependency to be installed separately.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The only external interaction is network calls to Google's TTS service (gTTS uses public Google endpoints and does not require an API key), so no secret exposure is requested by the skill itself.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled, does not request persistent system privileges, and does not modify other skills or agent-wide config. It's an instruction-only skill and can be invoked by the user/agent normally.
How to Use
