Quick install (universal)

Primary command for most environments:

npx skills add https://github.com/glebis/claude-skills --skill elevenlabs-tts

Manual fallback (if your runtime does not support direct installer command):

  1. npx skills add https://github.com/glebis/claude-skills --skill elevenlabs-tts -y -g
  2. Restart your current agent/runtime to reload installed skills.
  3. Run a dry run: "generate a 20-second sample narration to audio/test.mp3".
  • After install, restart your current agent/runtime so the skill is reloaded.
  • Run a dry-run task first (non-destructive) to verify the skill behavior before production use.
