This skill generates spoken audio from text through the OpenAI API using built-in voices. The agent calls it when preparing narrated explainers, lecture recordings, or voiceover tracks. The definition acts as an OpenDesign catalogue entry.
The skill is curated from the upstream openai/skills repository. To run the full workflow with original scripts and assets, you need to install the upstream bundle into your agent's skills directory. Without working OpenAI API access, audio generation will fail.
