🗣️ Edge-TTS Skill using uvx
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears purpose-aligned for text-to-speech, but users should know it runs an external `uvx edge-tts` command and sends text to Microsoft Edge TTS.
This skill is reasonable for generating speech audio. Before installing, confirm you are comfortable running `uvx edge-tts`, verify the package source if needed, and avoid converting highly sensitive text unless you accept that it may be sent to an external TTS provider.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Text being converted to speech should be handled as a command argument safely; otherwise unusual characters in the text could affect command parsing.
The skill's core workflow inserts message text into a shell command. This is purpose-aligned for text-to-speech, but unsafe interpolation could mis-handle shell metacharacters if the runner does not escape arguments correctly.
uvx edge-tts --text "{msg}" --write-media {tempdir}/{filename}.mp3Use safe argument passing or robust shell escaping, and keep generated output paths within a controlled temporary directory.
The command may resolve to whatever `edge-tts` package version is available in the user's environment, so future package changes could affect behavior.
The skill depends on `uvx` to run `edge-tts`, but the artifacts do not pin a package version or provide a homepage/source reference. This is central to the skill's purpose, not hidden behavior.

Sensitive text converted to speech may be sent to Microsoft Edge's TTS service for processing.
The artifact discloses use of an external TTS provider, meaning text submitted for speech generation may leave the local environment.

Avoid sending confidential or regulated text unless the user accepts the provider's privacy and retention terms.
