## Description

Paid Gemini TTS audio for a finished blog post: summary, full read-aloud, or two-speaker dialogue, with an MP3 and an HTML5 embed. Asks for explicit consent before the first paid call. Runs only on an explicit request: /blog audio, "generate audio for this blog post", "narrate this blog post", "audio version of this post", or "podcast version of this post". Not for general speech or dictation questions.

# Blog Audio: Gemini TTS Narration for Blog Posts

Bundled paths below use host Markdown substitution of `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`;
it is not an exported shell variable. Resolve them before execution, quote
paths, and refuse nonabsolute overrides. Pass `blog_reference_root` resolved
from `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/references`, `blog_template_root` from
`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/templates`, and needed sibling roots to agents.
Read the main reference `orchestration-details.md` before loading project
context; pass only its helper-fenced output to downstream agents.

Generate professional audio narration of blog content using Google's Gemini TTS.
Three modes: summary (200-300 word spoken overview), full article read-aloud,
or two-speaker podcast dialogue. 30 prebuilt voices, over 130 languages on
Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS (over 100 on Flash-Lite; Google's speech-generation page,
checked 2026-10-12), HTML5 embed output.
