ElevenLabs Open Account

Guides agents through opening ElevenLabs accounts for voice AI, TTS, agents, and API access. Use when the user or agent needs to sign up for ElevenLabs, get an API key, try voice AI, or connect clawdbot/moltbot/open claw to ElevenLabs.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only skill that consistently guides a user through signing up for ElevenLabs and obtaining an API key; it requests no credentials, runs no installs, and stays within its stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the content: the skill only documents how to open an ElevenLabs account, where to find API keys, and how to store them. It does not request unrelated capabilities or credentials.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only provides step-by-step signup and API-key retrieval guidance and includes safe storage advice. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or to transmit secrets to external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files; this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or downloaded during installation.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. The advice to store the API key in an environment variable (example: ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) is appropriate and proportionate to the purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not forced always-on (always:false) and uses normal model invocation. It does not request system-wide configuration changes or persistent privileges.

Assessment

This skill is a straightforward, instruction-only guide for creating an ElevenLabs account and getting an API key. A few practical notes before installing or using it: (1) the sign-up link in the skill is an affiliate/referral URL—if you prefer, open elevenlabs.io directly to avoid referral tracking; (2) the skill never asks for or stores your API key, but do not paste secrets into chat—store keys in environment variables or a secrets manager and give them only to trusted services; (3) when you create API keys, apply least privilege, set usage/billing limits if available, and rotate keys regularly; (4) because the skill can be invoked normally by the agent (disable-model-invocation is false), ensure you trust any agent that will be guided to create or use keys—this skill itself does not exfiltrate secrets.

Quick start

1. Ensure the user has (or will create) an ElevenLabs account (sign up with affiliate link).
2. For API access (TTS, STT, agents), get an API key from the profile/settings after logging in (see "Getting an API key" below).
3. For Creative Platform (speech, music, cloning) or Agents Platform, use the same account; access depends on plan.

Opening an ElevenLabs account

Use this workflow when the user needs to open or sign up for an ElevenLabs account (voice AI, text-to-speech, agents, or API).

Checklist:

• Open ElevenLabs sign-up: Get started with ElevenLabs
• Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account).
• Complete registration (email, password, etc.) and any verification.
• After logging in, the user can use the Creative Platform, Agents Platform, or get an API key for developers.

Steps:

1. Navigate to https://try.elevenlabs.io/ipu2xmg9cwqu to sign up or start a free trial.
2. Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account).
3. Enter the required details (email, password, etc.) and submit.
4. Complete any email verification or onboarding the platform requests.
5. After logging in, the user has an ElevenLabs account and can use the Creative Platform (text-to-speech, music, voice cloning, etc.) or the Agents Platform (conversational voice/chat agents). For API access, see "Getting an API key" below.

Getting an API key

Use this after the user has an ElevenLabs account and needs to call the API (e.g. from code, clawdbot, or integrations).

Checklist:

• Log in at ElevenLabs (or the app URL from sign-up).
• Go to Profile or Settings → API keys (e.g. elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys or Developers section).
• Create an API key; copy it and store it securely.
• Use the key in the xi-api-key header or in the official client libraries; never commit it to code or this skill.

Steps:

1. Log in to your ElevenLabs account.
2. Open Settings (or Profile) and find API keys (or Developers).
3. Create a new API key; optionally set scope and credit limits.
4. Copy the key immediately (it may not be shown again). Store in environment variables (e.g. ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) or a secrets manager.
5. Use it in requests: header xi-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY, or via the official ElevenLabs client libraries. Never expose the key in client-side code or version control.

Examples

Example 1 – User wants to try ElevenLabs voice AI

• User says: "I want to try ElevenLabs for voiceovers."
• Agent applies this skill: walk through "Opening an ElevenLabs account" using the sign-up link. After they have an account, they can use the Creative Platform in the browser for text-to-speech, voice cloning, or music.

Example 2 – User wants an API key for their bot

• User says: "I need an ElevenLabs API key for my agent."
• Agent applies this skill: confirm they have an account; if not, use "Opening an ElevenLabs account" with the sign-up link. Then guide "Getting an API key" (Settings → API keys, create key, store securely). Remind them to use the key only server-side.
