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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Zhang-Henry on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Evo Web Tts Audiobook AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/pg-essay-to-audiobook/evo-web-tts-audiobook
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills.git /tmp/CoEvoSkills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CoEvoSkills/artifacts/skills/pg-essay-to-audiobook/evo-web-tts-audiobook .claude/skills/evo-web-tts-audiobook

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Evo Web Tts Audiobook 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 Evo Web Tts Audiobook 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 Evo Web Tts Audiobook 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.

Web Text to Audiobook Pipeline

This skill fetches web pages (e.g., Paul Graham essays), extracts the main text, converts to speech using edge-tts (Microsoft Edge's free TTS service), and concatenates chunks into a single MP3 audiobook using ffmpeg.

Dependencies

edge-tts (pip install)
requests (pip install)
beautifulsoup4 (pip install)
pydub (pip install, optional)
ffmpeg (system)

Usage

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-web-tts-audiobook/scripts')
from utils import run_pipeline, validate_audio

essays = [
    {'url': 'http://paulgraham.com/ds.html', 'title': 'Do Things that Don\'t Scale'},
    {'url': 'http://paulgraham.com/foundermode.html', 'title': 'Founder Mode'},
]

output_path = '/root/audiobook.mp3'
run_pipeline(essays, output_path, voice='en-US-AriaNeural')

# Validate
duration = validate_audio(output_path, min_duration_seconds=60)
print(f"Validated: {duration:.0f}s")

Key Functions

fetch_essay_text(url) - Fetches and extracts text from a web page
clean_essay_text(raw_text, essay_title) - Removes navigation chrome
chunk_text(text, max_chars=4000) - Splits text at sentence boundaries
text_to_speech_chunks(chunks, output_dir, voice) - Converts chunks to MP3 via edge-tts
concatenate_audio_files(file_list, output_path) - Joins MP3s with ffmpeg
validate_audio(file_path, min_duration_seconds) - Checks output duration
run_pipeline(essays, output_path, voice) - End-to-end orchestration

Notes

edge-tts is free and requires no API key
Text is chunked at ~4000 chars to stay within TTS limits
ffmpeg concat demuxer is used for proper audio joining
Validation checks file exists, is non-empty, and has nontrivial duration

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Evo Web Tts Audiobook AI skill do?

Why use Evo Web Tts Audiobook on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Evo Web Tts Audiobook 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 Evo Web Tts Audiobook in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/pg-essay-to-audiobook/evo-web-tts-audiobook. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Evo Web Tts Audiobook?

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 Evo Web Tts Audiobook?

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

Is the Evo Web Tts Audiobook AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Zhang-Henry under the Apache-2.0 license. 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.
