Speech Generation Skill Generate spoken audio for the current project (narration, product demo voiceover, IVR prompts, accessibility reads). Defaults to gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-12-15 and built-in voices, and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic, reproducible runs.

Decide intent: single vs batch (see decision tree above). 2. Collect inputs up front: exact text (verbatim), desired voice, delivery style, format, and any constraints. 3. If batch: write a temporary JSONL under tmp/ (one job per line), run once, then delete the JSONL. 4. Augment instructions into a short labeled spec without rewriting the input text. 5. Run the bundled CLI (scripts/texttospeech.py) with sensible defaults (see references/cli.md). 6. For important clips, validate: int
