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

sherpa-onnx-tts scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 7d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

sherpa-onnx-tts

Local TTS using the sherpa-onnx offline CLI.

Install

  1. Download the runtime for your OS (extracts into $OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime, default ~/.openclaw/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime)
  2. Download a voice model (extracts into $OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models, default ~/.openclaw/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models)

Resolve the active state directory first:

STATE_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}"

Then write those resolved paths into the active OpenClaw config file ($OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH, default ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):

{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      "sherpa-onnx-tts": {
        env: {
          SHERPA_ONNX_RUNTIME_DIR: "/path/to/your/state-dir/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/runtime",
          SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_DIR: "/path/to/your/state-dir/tools/sherpa-onnx-tts/models/vits-piper-en_US-lessac-high",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

The wrapper lives in this skill folder. Run it directly, or add the wrapper to PATH:

export PATH="{baseDir}/bin:$PATH"

Usage

{baseDir}/bin/sherpa-onnx-tts -o ./tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."

Notes:

  • Pick a different model from the sherpa-onnx tts-models release if you want another voice.
  • If the model dir has multiple .onnx files, set SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_FILE or pass --model-file.
  • You can also pass --tokens-file or --data-dir to override the defaults.
  • Windows: run node {baseDir}\\bin\\sherpa-onnx-tts -o tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
