Documentation

README

Violin — operating skill

Always uses the default config (Together for translation, cartesia/sonic-3 for TTS). If the user asks for OpenAI, ElevenLabs, or custom configs, stop and point them to the Violin repo — those flows aren't supported through the global CLI.

Pre-flight

Run these silently first. Abort if any fails:

command -v violin                 # 1. CLI on PATH
test -f "<input>"                 # 2. Input exists
printenv TOGETHER_API_KEY         # 3. Key available

If violin is missing: tell the user to uv tool install violin, then violin --install-skill to refresh this skill file. Do not auto-install.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
