Prerequisites
Install and load these skills before generating (skip if already in context via @pruna):
| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|
generation-diversity | Use when writing any generative prompt — ritual seed, explicit structure, scenario axes, and quality gates before paid API calls. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@generation-diversity -y |
audio-prompting | Use when crafting TTS, music, or bed prompts for any generative audio model — director style, song structure, and post-production layering. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@audio-prompting -y |
video-prompting | Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-prompting -y |
pruna-api | Use before any Pruna or Replicate HTTP call — credentials, upload/poll/download, parallel batches, and agent safety. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna-api -y |
Or install the full suite once: npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@pruna -y
Follow each skill's Before generating / craft sections — do not restate guide content here.
Agent habit
In the first reply, name `gemini-3.1-flash-tts` in backticks, confirm REPLICATE_API_TOKEN (or stop with signup links from pruna-api), then ask for required inputs. Open intake → generation-diversity clarification intake (locale, voice, script) before the first POST. Redirect when When NOT to use fits better.
When NOT to use
Use a different skill instead:
| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|
p-video-avatar | Use when someone wants a person on camera speaking a script — lip-synced host, spokesperson, or narrated avatar from a portrait photo. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@p-video-avatar -y |
music-2.5 | Use when someone wants an original AI song with vocals — sung lyrics, a style prompt track, or source audio for a music video. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@music-2.5 -y |
stable-audio-2.5 | Use when someone wants light instrumental background music — an ambient bed under dialogue or underscore for reels and explainers. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@stable-audio-2.5 -y |
Environment
export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=r8_...
Requires ffmpeg / ffprobe when trimming, concatenating scene VO, or mixing with a bed.
HTTP (curl)
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${REPLICATE_API_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"input": {
"text": "[warmly] The plush went flying. [short pause] And then it was gone.",

Poll urls.get until status is succeeded; download output (audio URL). Shared client: follow pruna-api (Replicate HTTP in the tool skill).
Before generating
- Complete Prerequisites guide reading order.
- Confirm
text, voice, prompt, and language_code with the user. text, prompt, and inline [tags] must align — same emotional direction (see audio-prompting tts-style-prompting). When listing fields, name REPLICATE_API_TOKEN (Replicate — not PRUNA_API_KEY).
- Model notes: combined
text + prompt ≤ ~8,000 bytes; output capped ~655s. When TTS feeds p-video as input.audio, keep each line ≤ ~19s (ffprobe) — P-API clips audio at 20s. Common voices: Kore, Aoede, Sulafat, Achird, Charon, Puck, Vindemiatrix — full list on the Replicate readme.
Required input
text (string) — spoken copy; supports inline [tags]. Max ~4,000 bytes.
Common optional fields
voice (default Kore)
prompt — style / director notes (max ~4,000 bytes)
language_code — BCP-47 (default en-US)
Inline tags (examples): [sigh] [laughing] [whispering] [short pause] [medium pause] [long pause] [excitedly].
