Description
Generate speech audio using Deepdub and attach it as a MEDIA file (Telegram-compatible).
README (SKILL.md)
What this skill does
This skill converts text into speech using Deepdub and returns an audio file
as a MEDIA: attachment that OpenClaw can send to channels like Telegram.
Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- Deepdub API access
Permissions
This skill requires permission to:
- Execute
deepdub_tts.py(the bundled script) - Write audio files to
OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIRonly (output path cannot be overridden via CLI arguments)
Setup
Set the following environment variables where OpenClaw runs:
Required:
DEEPDUB_API_KEY– your Deepdub API keyDEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID– default voice prompt to use
Optional:
DEEPDUB_LOCALE(default:en-US)DEEPDUB_MODELOPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR(default:/tmp/openclaw_media)
Free Trial Credentials
For testing only, you can use these free trial credentials:
DEEPDUB_API_KEY=dd-00000000000000000000000065c9cbfe
DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID=11f3403d-35b9-4817-8d55-f41694ea6227
Note: These are rate-limited trial credentials for evaluation purposes only. Do not use for production. Obtain your own API key and voice prompts from Deepdub for production use.
Install dependency
Install the official Deepdub Python SDK:
pip install deepdub
Or using uv (faster alternative):
uv pip install deepdub
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uses the Deepdub Python SDK to synthesize text into an MP3 and returns a MEDIA: path. Before installing: (1) obtain and set your own DEEPDUB_API_KEY (do not rely on the trial key included in the docs), (2) avoid passing sensitive or private text to the TTS API because text is sent to Deepdub, (3) install the deepdub package in an isolated environment (venv/container) or audit it first since pip installs execute third-party code, and (4) if you do not want the agent to call this skill autonomously, disable model invocation or restrict invocation in your OpenClaw settings. Overall the skill is internally consistent with low risk if you follow these precautions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: deepdub-tts
Version: 0.1.5
The skill is designed to convert text to speech using the Deepdub API. All accessed environment variables (`DEEPDUB_API_KEY`, `DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID`, `OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR`) are directly relevant to its stated purpose. The `deepdub_tts.py` script writes audio files only to the `OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR` (controlled by environment variable, not user input), preventing arbitrary file writes. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts in `SKILL.md`. The code is clear, straightforward, and aligns perfectly with its described functionality.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required env vars (DEEPDUB_API_KEY, DEEPDUB_VOICE_PROMPT_ID), required binary (python3), requirements.txt, SKILL.md pip install deepdub, and deepdub_tts.py all align: the skill needs the Deepdub SDK and an API key to synthesize speech.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the bundled deepdub_tts.py which only reads the declared env vars and writes output to OPENCLAW_MEDIA_DIR. The script prints the expected MEDIA: path for OpenClaw. It does not read unrelated files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
There is no packaged installer (instruction-only). The docs instruct pip install deepdub (or an alternative 'uv pip install'), which is expected but means a third-party Python package will be downloaded/executed at install time — normal for this use but worth auditing or isolating before installing globally.
Credentials
The skill only requests the Deepdub API key and a voice prompt ID (plus optional locale/model and output dir) which are proportionate. A cautionary note: SKILL.md includes a public rate-limited trial API key — do not use it in production. Also avoid sending sensitive/personal data to the Deepdub API.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent 'always' inclusion, does not modify other skills or system configs, and only writes audio files to the specified media dir. Autonomous invocation of skills is the platform default and is not unusual here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install deepdub-tts - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/deepdub-tts - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
