AC edge-tts-unlimited
Free, unlimited text-to-speech using Microsoft Edge's neural voices via Python edge-tts. No API key, no credits, no character limits. Handles long-form content (tested 55+ minutes). Use when: (1) Converting text to speech for audio briefs, podcasts, or voice notes. (2) Generating long-form audio (news briefs, articles, stories) without hitting API limits. (3) Need TTS on a headless server (Fly.io, VPS, Docker) with zero setup cost. NOT for: Real-time streaming TTS, voice cloning, or premium voice acting (use ElevenLabs for that).

As a process C 55/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 55/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 11 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 795 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
