tts-director
Use when generating expressive TTS, short-video voiceover, self-media narration, product explanation, ads, livestream clips, character speech, podcast-style voiceover, or any speech request that needs tone, speed, pitch, rhythm, pauses, or multi-segment delivery. For ordinary chat/audio work this skill is the TTS entrypoint. CosyVoice SSML is not a general entrypoint: only activate `cosyvoice-ssml` inside a video-director managed digital-human / VideoRetalk / asset-library talking-head video flow. MiniMax uses ordered segments with emotion controls. Do not call TTS repeatedly or hand-merge aud
npx skills add Jamailar/Beav --skill tts-director --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# TTS Director Use this skill before calling `Operate(resource="voice", operation="speech", input={ ... })` when the speech should sound performed rather than flat. ## Core Mission Turn the final spoken script into one executable TTS request: - Preserve the user's words unless they asked for rewriting. - For dialogue or role audio, first identify the speaker/role count and choose a distinct `voiceId` for each role before segmenting. Use `availableVoicesForAgent` from the generation context when present; call `voice.list` if the context does not provide enough voices. - Identify the selected TTS model before designing controls. Use `model` from the request/context when present. - For CosyVoice-family models such as `cosyvoice-v3.5-plus`, only invoke `cosyvoice-ssml` when the current task is already a `video-director` managed digital-human / VideoRetalk / asset-library talking-head video and the TTS is the approved character speech track. Outside that narrow flow, do not activate `cosyvoice-ssml`. - For MiniMax-family models such as `speech-2.8-turbo`, split the script into meaningful performance beats and speaker turns, then assign each beat `emotion`, `speed`, `pitch`, punctuation,

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jamailar/Beav --skill tts-director --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Jamailar/Beav, a repository with 1,349 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
