What This Skill Does

The ElevenLabs skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful interface for high-fidelity audio production directly within your agent workflow. It leverages the industry-leading ElevenLabs API to handle complex tasks including text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, bespoke sound effect generation, full musical composition, and professional-grade voice cloning. Whether you need to generate a narration track with specific emotional stability settings, create unique audio assets for a multimedia project, or manage your organization's voice repository, this skill streamlines the entire lifecycle of audio generation. It supports a wide array of output formats ranging from high-bitrate MP3s to raw PCM data, making it versatile for both creative applications and technical engineering tasks.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/odrobnik/elevenlabs-skill

Ensure that you have an active ElevenLabs account and have exported your ELEVENLABS_API_KEY as an environment variable to permit secure API communication.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for developers and creators who require programmatic audio generation. Common use cases include generating dynamic dialogue for NPCs or interactive storytellers, creating custom soundscapes for video projects, producing background music for presentations, and automating the cloning of voice profiles for consistent branding across multiple platforms. It is also an essential tool for monitoring your API usage, ensuring that production pipelines remain within your subscription limits.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a warm, professional narration of the provided mission briefing using the voice ID 'Rachel' and save it as mission_intro.mp3."
2. "Create an upbeat 10-second background music track suitable for a software demo and output it at 192kbps."
3. "Clone the voice from the uploaded files in the 'recordings' folder, label it 'Agent_Alpha', and apply denoising to ensure high quality."

Tips & Limitations

Always check your remaining quota using the quota.py script before starting large batch generation jobs to avoid mid-task interruptions. When cloning voices, use high-quality, clear audio samples to achieve the best results; background noise, even with the --denoise flag enabled, can still impact the realism of the final output. For telephony applications, utilize the ulaw_8000 format to ensure compatibility with standard communications infrastructure. Remember that ElevenLabs character limits depend on your specific subscription tier; monitor your usage patterns regularly.
