What it does
Manages a local Kokoro TTS HTTP server exposing an OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech endpoint. The skill provides start/stop instructions (foreground and launchd), health-check endpoints, environment variable defaults, and troubleshooting steps for common issues like port conflicts and model-loading delays.
When to use it
Use this skill when the agent or developer needs to run or validate a local Kokoro TTS service for speech synthesis, to test integrations that expect an OpenAI-like TTS API, or when debugging server startup and model-loading problems.
What's included
- Scripts: none bundled in SKILL.md (has_scripts=false) — but explicit command examples for running the server are provided.
- References: references folder present (has_references=true) — may include model/install pointers.
- Instructions: quick-start commands, launchd guidance for macOS, health endpoint examples, env var table, and post-execution reflection guidance for maintaining the skill file.
Compatible agents
Useful for agents capable of running local shell commands and HTTP checks (Claude Code, CLI-capable agents) and any agent orchestrating local TTS for testing or demos.
