Zai-TTS

Generate high-quality text-to-speech audio using GLM-TTS service via the uvx zai-tts command.

Before using this skill, you need to configure the environment variables ZAI_AUDIO_USERID and ZAI_AUDIO_TOKEN,

which can be obtained by login audio.z.ai and executing localStorage['auth-storage'] in the console via F12 Developer Tools.

Usage

uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav
uvx zai-tts -f path/to/file.txt -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav

Changing speed, volume

uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --speed 1.5
uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --speed 1.5 --volume 2

Changing the voice

uvx zai-tts -t "{msg}" -o {tempdir}/{filename}.wav --voice system_002

Available voices

system_001: Lila. A cheerful, standard-pronunciation female voice

system_002: Chloe. A gentle, elegant, intelligent female voice

system_003: Ethan. A sunny, standard-pronunciation male voice

Retrieve all available voices using shell commands:

uvx zai-tts -l

If you want to use custom voices, please complete voice cloning on the website audio.z.ai first.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take aahl/zai-tts from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference uvx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
