resemble-chatterbox

resemble-chatterbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,675 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Resemble AI Chatterbox, a text-to-speech and voice-cloning system available through local open-weight models or Resemble’s hosted API. It covers expressive speech, reference voices, multilingual output, and voice controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for expressive narration, synthetic dialogue, voice-cloning previews, multilingual speech, and local or on-premises audio generation.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose between running Chatterbox themselves and using a hosted service. It also keeps voice cloning tied to documented permission, since a reference voice can be personal or biometric data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

resemble-chatterbox scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Resemble Chatterbox

Use Chatterbox when the production needs expressive AI speech, zero-shot/reference-voice behavior, local or on-prem deployment, or Resemble-hosted TTS with Chatterbox-family voices. Do not use it as a generic "celebrity impersonation" tool. Treat every reference voice as biometric/personal data and require documented rights before generation.

Volatile facts in this skill were verified on 2026-07-10 from official Resemble AI, GitHub, Hugging Face, and Resemble documentation sources listed at the end.

Choose the route first

Documented facts:

  • Local/open route: Resemble publishes Chatterbox-family code and weights through the official resemble-ai/chatterbox GitHub repository and ResembleAI/chatterbox Hugging Face model card under MIT license. The local package installs with pip install chatterbox-tts and exposes Python classes such as ChatterboxTTS and ChatterboxMultilingualTTS.
  • Hosted route: Resemble's synthesis API uses https://f.cluster.resemble.ai/synthesize for synchronous TTS and a streaming HTTP endpoint for chunked WAV. Requests authenticate with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
  • Hosted Chatterbox model versions documented by Resemble include Chatterbox, Chatterbox-Turbo, and Chatterbox Multilingual. Hosted Turbo is selected with the model value chatterbox-turbo; Resemble's model-version page also lists version codes tts-v4 and tts-v4-turbo.

Production decision:

  • Prefer local/open Chatterbox when the project requires on-prem control, no vendor audio upload, custom batching, offline evaluation, or permissive model modification.
  • Prefer hosted Resemble when the project needs managed voices, streaming API delivery, low ops burden, team voice libraries, billing support, or production scale without managing GPU inference.
  • Prefer Turbo for low-latency agents or dialog loops where its documented paralinguistic tag support matters.
  • Prefer Multilingual V3 for cross-language voice cloning or localization; use Single Language Pack models when a priority language or regional dialect needs tighter pronunciation quality.
  • Prefer original English Chatterbox when the job is English narration/character voice with emotion exaggeration and local creative control, and multilingual coverage is not required.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
