Installs Kokoro TTS engine on macOS Apple Silicon (M1+). Checks platform/uv/Python 3.13, creates venv, installs MLX-Audio deps, downloads HuggingFace model, verifies synthesis.
From kokoro-ttsnpx claudepluginhub terrylica/cc-skills --plugin kokoro-ttsThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Guides Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR) with cacheComponents enabled. Implements 'use cache', cacheLife(), cacheTag(), revalidateTag(), static/dynamic optimization, and cache debugging.
Migrates code, prompts, and API calls from Claude Sonnet 4.0/4.5 or Opus 4.1 to Opus 4.5, updating model strings on Anthropic, AWS, GCP, Azure platforms.
Optimizes cloud costs on AWS, Azure, GCP via rightsizing, tagging strategies, reserved instances, spot usage, and spending analysis. Use for expense reduction and governance.
Install the Kokoro TTS engine: Apple Silicon verification, Python 3.13 venv, MLX-Audio dependencies, model download, and verification synthesis.
Platform: macOS Apple Silicon (M1+) only. Fails fast on Intel/Linux.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
| Component | Required | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Silicon | Yes | uname -m = arm64 |
| uv | Yes | uv --version |
| Python 3.13 | Yes | uv python list |
# Check Apple Silicon
[[ "$(uname -m)" == "arm64" ]] && echo "OK: Apple Silicon" || echo "FAIL: Requires Apple Silicon (M1+)"
# Check uv
command -v uv && echo "OK: uv found" || echo "FAIL: Install with 'brew install uv'"
PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/kokoro-tts}"
bash "$PLUGIN_DIR/scripts/kokoro-install.sh" --install
This performs:
~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv via uvkokoro_common.py, tts_generate.py from plugin bundleversion.json with mlx_audio version and model IDPLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/kokoro-tts}"
bash "$PLUGIN_DIR/scripts/kokoro-install.sh" --health
All 6 checks should pass. Print "Installation complete — run /kokoro-tts:health to verify".
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Not Apple Silicon | Intel Mac or Linux | MLX-Audio requires M1+ Mac |
| uv not found | Not installed | brew install uv |
| Model download slow | Large first download | Wait for HuggingFace download |
| Permission denied | Script not +x | chmod +x scripts/kokoro-install.sh |
| Venv already exists | Previous install | Run --uninstall then --install |

Do NOT defer. The next invocation inherits whatever you leave behind.
