Description
Text-to-speech using macOS built-in `say` command. Use for voice notifications, audio alerts, reading text aloud, or announcing messages through Mac speakers. Supports multiple languages including Chinese (Mandarin), English, Japanese, etc.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want an agent to make your Mac speak aloud. Review any volume-changing commands before use, especially in shared or quiet environments, and treat the skill as macOS-only.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mac-tts
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It uses standard macOS commands (`say` for text-to-speech and `osascript` for volume control) for their intended purposes. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, non-malicious instructions and examples for using these commands, without any evidence of prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration, malicious execution, or persistence mechanisms.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is macOS text-to-speech, and the artifact only documents the built-in `say` command plus related voice-selection examples.
Instruction Scope
The skill includes `osascript` examples to check, unmute, and set system output volume; this affects local audio settings but is clearly disclosed and purpose-aligned.
Install Mechanism
The inspected artifact is a single markdown skill file with no executable scripts, package install steps, or automatic runtime behavior.
Credentials
Local speaker output and macOS volume control are proportionate for voice notifications and reading text aloud; the artifact states it works only on macOS.
Persistence & Privilege
No credentials, network access, background service, persistence mechanism, privileged escalation, file harvesting, or data exfiltration behavior is present.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mac-tts - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mac-tts - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
