voice-input

christos-antono/NPCTalk Writing & content

voice-input is a skill in christos-antono/NPCTalk, last changed 15 Oct 2026. It is instructions only: no scripts, no named hosts and no pre-approved tools.

From the author

Let the player talk to NPCs out loud. Covers an always-on open mic with voice activity detection against the room's noise floor, push-to-talk and typing as fallbacks, ignoring the NPC's own voice coming out of the speakers, dropping coughs, clicks and filler words, fast speech-to-text (fal's Nemotron ASR, ~0.4 s, audio sent inline), and routing what was heard to the right NPC. Use when building or debugging mic input for a game, when the open mic triggers on noise or misses speech, when NPCs answer things the player didn't say, or when "nobody answers".

How the check works

Pattern check: nothing flagged

That isn't proof the skill is harmless.

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 59635ce, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. christos-antono/NPCTalk/skills/voice-input (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

Pinned to commit 59635ce, the one we checked.

From your project's root folder:

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Or install the npctalk plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make voice-input.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/christos-antono/NPCTalk.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 59635ceb8ee010599c3caf9d9d1ee1aa114af91d &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- skills/voice-input &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 59635ceb8ee010599c3caf9d9d1ee1aa114af91d &&out="$(mktemp -d)" &&cp -R "$tmp"/skills/voice-input "$out"/voice-input &&(cd "$out" && zip -qr - voice-input) > voice-input.zip &&rm -rf "$tmp" "$out"

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose voice-input.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 59635ce · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 59635ce on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

How the check works Report an incorrect finding

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Note
  There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
  Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
  The description is 559 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
  Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.

fish-voice-serverHost Fish Audio's open-weights voice models (Drama 3 and S2 Pro) on a serverless GPU (Modal, or fal) behind one small HTTP API a game can call. POST /speak takes text and a voice and streams 16-bit PCM back with first audio in ~0.4 s, cloned zero-shot from a reference clip, with [tags] like [angry] or [laughing] for delivery. Covers deploying with SGLang-Omni, the API, preparing voices at startup, keep-warm and cold starts, scaling to zero and cost, sampling settings that measurably help likeness, picking the best of several takes for pre-rendered lines, an optional S2 Pro fine-tune, and the setup gotchas. Use when a game, mod or app needs realtime cloned character voices, the user mentions Fish Audio, Fish Speech, S2 Pro, Drama 3 or a self-hosted TTS server, or a voice server is slow, cold or failing.

make-npcs-talkMake NPCs in a game talk back. The player speaks or types, the NPC answers in character, in a cloned voice, about 1-2 seconds later, and can act on what was said. Covers the whole loop and the order to build it in (who is being talked to, what the scene is, speech-to-text, an LLM in character, Fish Audio voices on a GPU, streamed playback from the NPC, subtitles, mouth movement, actions), the four hooks a game has to provide, latency budgets, costs, testing in the real game, and the rules (single-player, voices you have the rights to, nothing of the game shipped). Use when the user wants NPCs, characters, villagers, companions or enemies in any game to hold conversations, react to the player's voice, or be voiced by Fish Audio (S2 Pro or Drama 3) and an LLM. Instructions only Pattern check: Nothing flaggedMITUpdated 16 Oct 2026	Instructions only	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	MIT	16 Oct 2026
npc-actionsMake NPCs physically react to a conversation and follow spoken orders. Pick an action (punch, slap, hug, kneel and beg, flee, flip off, square up, nothing...) from what the player said and what the NPC replied, with TypeSafe's Jev returning a typed choice and a probability in ~0.1 s, per-action thresholds, a repeat cooldown, orders ("get on your knees") that override mood and make the LLM rewrite the line, and mapping action names onto the game's animations with checks at load. Use when NPCs should act out what they say, obey commands, or when actions picked by an LLM are too random, too timid or too frequent.

npc-dialogueWrite what NPCs say with an LLM so they sound like themselves and like the game. Covers persona files, a fresh random sample of the character's own lines in every prompt, scene facts (place, time, weather, what the player holds or drives, danger), per-NPC conversation history, short spoken output with one delivery tag for the voice model, doing what the player tells them, fast models with reasoning off, and cleaning the output (refusals, name prefixes, length, slur rules). Use when NPC replies sound generic, robotic, too long, preachy or out of character, refuse, break the game's tone, or come back too slowly, or when adding a new character's persona.

npc-showcase-clipsRecord short clips of NPC conversations that look like real gameplay, ready to post. Covers scripted exchanges at chosen places and times, the gameplay camera held still behind the player, both lines rendered before the clip rolls so it plays back to back, the game's own HUD and subtitles with nothing of the mod on screen, timeline markers for cutting, screen and audio sync, 5-10 s cuts in 16:9 (and 9:16), pinning lines to re-voice an approved take, and re-taking clips that run long.

voice-likeness-evalMeasure how much a cloned voice sounds like the real character, and whether a change really helped.

Use when comparing voice engines or settings (Fish Audio Drama 3 vs S2 Pro vs ElevenLabs, sampling, reference clips, best-of-N, fine-tuning), or before telling anyone that one voice setup is better than another.

academy-guideStop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 18 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	18 Aug 2026

Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format. anthropics/skills Names web addresses Pattern check: Nothing flaggedApache 2.0Updated 17 Aug 2026	Names web addresses	Pattern check: Nothing flagged	Apache 2.0	17 Aug 2026
