Voice Compose

Organization

voice-compose

Designs and attaches voice samples or final narration/line audio on the filmmaking canvas via the local generate_voice.js CLI. Use before calling generate_voice.js; when the user asks to give a character a voice, preview how a character sounds, create reusable timbre anchors for every speaking character or VO/narration, or create exact narration/VO/final line audio.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Utopai-Research on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Voice Compose AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Utopai-Research/pai-code/tree/main/skills/voice-compose
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Utopai-Research/pai-code.git /tmp/pai-code
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pai-code/skills/voice-compose .claude/skills/voice-compose
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Voice Compose in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Voice Compose on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Voice Compose is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Default to one short reusable timbre sample per speaking character and one VO/narrator sample when narration exists. video-compose keeps actual shot dialogue/VO in the video prompt. Treat audio_result.data.text as downstream speech only for approved final narration/line reads.

Patterns

Follow PROJECT_AGENT.md for context/staging. This skill owns voice prompt + CLI shape.

1. Character voice sample

Triggers: "give / design a voice for [character]", "what does [character] sound like", "voices for all the characters on the canvas".

  • Target: any image_result for the person; don't gate on subtype. Read data.local_path before prompt; layer name/role/description on top.

  • Call:

    node "$PAI_REPO_ROOT/server/cli/generate_voice.js" \
      --text "<line>" \
      --prompt "<voice design brief>" \
      --source-node-id <character.id>
  • Prompt describes the voice, not the character:

    [age bracket] [gender], [timbre], [register], [pace], [accent if relevant]. [optional emotional color].

    ✅ "Mid-50s man, gravelly baritone, measured pace, slight rasp from decades of smoking, weary but steady." ✅ "Young woman, bright mezzo, warm, quick and percussive. Slight Southern lilt." ❌ "Detective Morris's voice." — names the character, not the voice. The model needs sound qualities.

  • text: 1-3 sentence in-character sample (≤200 chars), not every script line.

  • Script breakdowns: one staged call per speaker; preserve labels. Add separate VO/narrator via Pattern 2.

2. Narrator / VO voice sample or final line audio

Triggers: narrator voice, voice-over, "a voice that says X" without character, narration track, or explicit final line-read audio.

  • Omit --source-node-id:
    node "$PAI_REPO_ROOT/server/cli/generate_voice.js" \
      --text "<the narration line>" \
      --prompt "<voice design brief>"
  • Same prompt convention as Pattern 1.
  • Reusable VO/narrator anchor: short sample line in narrator style, not full script narration.
  • Final narration/line-read: copy approved text exactly into --text; then data.text is source of truth.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Voice Compose AI skill do?

Designs and attaches voice samples or final narration/line audio on the filmmaking canvas via the local generate_voice.js CLI. Use before calling generate_voice.js; when the user asks to give a character a voice, preview how a character sounds, create reusable timbre anchors for every speaking character or VO/narration, or create exact narration/VO/final line audio.

Why use Voice Compose on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Voice Compose is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Voice Compose in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Utopai-Research/pai-code/tree/main/skills/voice-compose. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Voice Compose?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Voice Compose?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Voice Compose with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Voice Compose AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Utopai-Research. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
