Configuration
All skills require an ElevenLabs API key. Set it as an environment variable:
export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="your-api-key"Get your API key from the setup-api-key skill or use the ElevenLabs dashboard (opens in a new tab).
SDK Support
Most skills include examples for:
- Python -
pip install elevenlabs - JavaScript/TypeScript -
npm install @elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js - CLI -
npm install -g @elevenlabs/cliorbrew install elevenlabs/tap/elevenlabs(wraps the REST API; readsELEVENLABS_API_KEYautomatically)
JavaScript SDK Warning: Always use
@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js. Do not usenpm install elevenlabs(that’s an outdated v1.x package).
See the installation guide in any skill’s references/ folder for complete setup instructions including migration from deprecated packages.
Evaluations
The evals/ directory contains trigger and functional evaluations for all skills.
# Run all evaluations (trigger + functional)
python3 evals/run_all.py -v
# Trigger evals only — tests if skills fire for the right queries (~3 min)
python3 evals/run_all.py --trigger-only -v
# Functional evals only — tests if skills produce correct output (~15 min)
python3 evals/run_all.py --functional-only -v
# Specific skills
python3 evals/run_all.py --skills text-to-speech agents -v
# Custom model (see `cursor-agent --list-models`)
python3 evals/run_all.py --model gpt-5.4-high -vResults are saved to evals/results/<timestamp>/ with a report.md summary and results.json for programmatic access.
Functional evals use an isolated cursor-agent workspace per test case (under that results tree); they do not modify skill sources under each skill’s directory.
Requires the Cursor Agent CLI (opens in a new tab) (cursor-agent on your PATH; override binary with CURSOR_AGENT) and Cursor authentication (cursor-agent login or CURSOR_API_KEY).

Colophon
How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/elevenlabs/skills, branch
main, last pushed 16 September 2026. - Licence
- MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 11 skills found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed:.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md,*/SKILL.md. - Authorship
- 1 of 11 skills are installed into the repository rather than published from it. They are shelved in the closing “Credited skills” part and remain the work of their own authors. A skill counts as credited when its only copy lives under one agent’s dot directory; visible directories, per-agent mirror sets, and skills installable from this repository on skills.sh all count as published.
- Issue colours
- Resolved from the awesome-design-md registry — hue 134°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “7 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
- Images
- Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/elevenlabs/skills.md, and each skill at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
