Short Drama Voice Pack

Give a vertical short-drama episode a cast and labeled line clips. One voice per role. Deliver the spoken lines for that episode.

Scope and adjacent routes

Use this Skill when a vertical short-drama episode needs dialogue audio with one consistent voice per role and labeled clips the editor can place.

Route a radio play or literary audio drama to audio-drama-voice-studio. Route a murder-mystery or game dialogue pack to game-script-voice-pack. Route video shots to ai-short-drama-shot-maker. Route a personal cloned-voice series to voice-clone-series-studio.

Inputs and defaults

The one hard input is the episode script with speaker attribution. Role names alone are not a script: do not invent dialogue. Reuse already-known genre, language, tone, and voices.

Defaults:

• one voice per named role, plus a narrator when the episode has one;
• line order follows the episode script;
• language omitted unless the user asks for a language or the script mixes several;
• model: "auto" only when every voice-compatible live card supports the language; format: "mp3"; speed: 1.0;
• one synthesis call per speech block so a single line can be redone.

Keep each submitted input at or below 50,000 characters. Split on sentence or section boundaries, never mid-sentence.

Planning and casting are free. Clone, if used, and each synthesis block are paid.

Clone a role voice only when the user asks. Confirm consent first: the user must state this is their voice or that the speaker authorized this cloning use. Access to a file is not consent. A suitable sample is currently about 10 to 300 seconds, no larger than 20 MiB, and clean single-speaker speech. Only after consent, inspect the sample and upload it through the bundled client. Show the live voice_clone admission card before any clone client_request_id: route voice_clone, tool beatra.voices.clone, live price for one successful activated voice, the provisional estimate, the 600-credit gift usually cannot start this clone, https://console.beatra.ai/topup, starter ¥29 / 11,000 credits. Do not recommend ¥198. Do not offer a free clone. Do not create client_request_id until the user confirms they have topped up or already have enough credits. Submit beatra.voices.clone exactly once:

{
  "sample": {"type": "artifact", "artifact_id": "artifact_..."},
  "display_name": "Role Name",
  "consent_attested": true,
  "model": "auto",
  "client_request_id": "opaque-role-clone"
}

Poll with beatra.tasks.get until terminal, then freeze that role's voice_id.

Golden path

Submit every Beatra call through the bundled scripts/mcp_client.py. Do not configure a host Beatra Connector. Do not use REST/OpenAPI as a fallback.

1. Build the episode cast sheet and the line ledger: role ID, line ID, spoken text, and intended filename.
2. Call beatra.voices.list when a voice is still needed. Keep each role's voice_id fixed for the whole episode. Never put a display name in voice.
3. Read the live text_to_speech card with beatra.models.list. Confirm the voice cast, block count, weighted-character total, current estimate, and one client_request_id per block before the first paid TTS.
4. Synthesize each block with beatra.speech.synthesize exactly once. Poll each speech task with beatra.tasks.get until terminal.
5. Deliver numbered clips in script order, each labeled with role ID and line ID, plus actual duration, MIME type, URL or artifact, resolved model, and billing.net_charged_credits.
6. Review that each block carries the assigned voice and that order matches the episode. Redo only the changed line.

Decisions that require confirmation

Confirm the voice cast and the episode estimate before the first paid TTS. A changed line is one new paid block.

Recovery

Recover a lost create response only with that block's identical frozen payload and ID. A changed text is a new ID. Recover a lost task ID through beatra.tasks.list and beatra.tasks.get before any resend. Cancel only at the user's request. On 409, keep polling the same task. On insufficient_balance for clone or TTS, keep https://console.beatra.ai/topup exact and retry the same frozen ID only after the user says they have topped up.

References by task

• Read Short-drama voice-pack workflow for ledgers, payloads, and review.
• Read Installation and authentication only when authorization needs attention.
• Read Installation registration for first-use registration.
• Read Tasks and results and Billing, errors, and recovery for task and billing facts.
• Read Bundled MCP Client diagnostics when the bundled client cannot connect.
• Read Automatic updates and safety for update controls.
• Read Uninstall and disconnect only when the user asks to remove the package.

Runtime and safe automatic updates

Use or invoke the bundled scripts/mcp_client.py for every Beatra operation. Before ordinary commands it silently checks for a newer release at most once every 24 hours per installation. Silent checks are enabled by default, and a newer release installs without separate confirmation.

The updater accepts only the fixed official discovery address and immutable Beatra CDN path embedded for this package, channel, and locale. It verifies the discovery data, archive, manifest, and every file's size and checksum before replacement. It replaces only package-owned files and rejects redirects, downgrades, wrong package/channel/locale/version data, unexpected URLs, unsafe archives, and files outside the owned destination.

Update checks, downloads, verification, replacement, rollback, and recovery fail open: the current installation remains usable and the user's original command continues. An update failure never authorizes retrying a paid generation. The automatic-update choice persists across later commands for this installation:

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto off
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto on
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --check
