make-npcs-talk
Make NPCs in a game talk back. The player speaks or types, the NPC answers in character, in a cloned voice, about 1-2 seconds later, and can act on what was said. Covers the whole loop and the order to build it in (who is being talked to, what the scene is, speech-to-text, an LLM in character, Fish Audio voices on a GPU, streamed playback from the NPC, subtitles, mouth movement, actions), the four hooks a game has to provide, latency budgets, costs, testing in the real game, and the rules (single-player, voices you have the rights to, nothing of the game shipped). Use when the user wants NPCs,
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 181 stars are split between them (about 18 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 60/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 59635ceb8ee0, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
