ElevenLabs Core Workflow A — TTS & Voice Cloning

Overview

The primary ElevenLabs workflows: (1) Text-to-Speech with voice settings, (2) Instant Voice Cloning from audio samples, (3) streaming TTS via WebSocket for real-time applications, and (4) voice-library management. This SKILL.md walks the full flow at a high level and carries the first TTS example inline; the deep code for cloning, streaming, and management lives in the full implementation walkthrough.

Prerequisites

• Completed elevenlabs-install-auth setup
• Valid API key with sufficient character quota
• For voice cloning: audio recording(s) of the target voice (min 30 seconds, clean audio)
