Description
Text-to-speech conversion using `uvx edge-tts` for generating audio from text.
Use when:
(1) User requests audio/voice output with the "tts" trigger or keyword.
(2) Content needs to be spoken rather than read (multitasking, accessibility, driving, cooking).
(3) User wants a specific voice, speed, pitch, or format for TTS output.
README (SKILL.md)
Edge-TTS Skill
Generate high-quality text-to-speech audio using Microsoft Edge's neural TTS service via the node-edge-tts npm package. Supports multiple languages, voices, adjustable speed/pitch, and subtitle generation.
Usage
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3
# With subtitles
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3 --write-subtitles -
Changing rate(speed), volume and pitch
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3 --rate=+50%
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3 --volume=+50% --pitch=-50Hz
Changing the voice
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3 --voice=zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural

Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent but requires you to provide and trust the uvx binary. Before installing/using: (1) verify where uvx comes from and install it from the official/trusted source; (2) confirm uvx's runtime behavior โ some uvx/edge-tts implementations may launch a browser or use local Edge profile tokens to obtain Microsoft auth, which could interact with your browser profile or network; (3) be aware that Edge neural TTS may send text to Microsoft services, so avoid sending sensitive text if you have privacy concerns; (4) the skill has no homepage or source link, so test in a sandbox first and inspect uvx itself rather than relying on this SKILL.md.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: edge-tts-uvx
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed for text-to-speech conversion using the `uvx edge-tts` tool. All commands and instructions in `SKILL.md` are directly related to generating audio from text, listing voices, and adjusting TTS parameters. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the agent to perform actions outside the stated purpose. The output is directed to a temporary directory, which is a safe practice.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description and SKILL.md consistently describe using the 'uvx edge-tts' CLI to generate TTS. The only declared runtime dependency is the uvx binary, which is exactly what the instructions call for.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to invoking uvx with arguments to write media and subtitles to a supplied temp path and to list voices. The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or system-wide config. Placeholders ({msg}, {tempdir}, {filename}) are used as expected.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself. This minimizes installation risk, but it requires the uvx binary to already be present on the host.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. That aligns with a CLI wrapper that simply calls an existing local binary.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill has no install or config-writing steps. It does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install edge-tts-uvx - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/edge-tts-uvx - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
