Details
From the project READMEComponent Version Upgrade
Upgrade individual components of the TTS + Telegram bot stack without rebuilding the entire system.
Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
When to Use This Skill
- User wants to upgrade Kokoro TTS engine, Python dependencies, or the model
- User wants to update bot dependencies (Bun packages)
- User wants to refresh
tts_generate.pyfrom the plugin bundle - User wants to bump the Bun runtime version
Requirements
uvinstalled (brew install uv)miseinstalled and configured- Internet connectivity for package downloads
- Existing installation (run
full-stack-bootstrapfirst if not installed)
Upgradeable Components
| Component | Command | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Kokoro TTS engine | kokoro-install.sh --upgrade | Upgrades Python deps, re-downloads model, updates version.json |
| Bot dependencies | cd ~/.claude/automation/claude-telegram-sync && bun update | Updates Bun packages per package.json |
| tts_generate.py | Re-copy from plugin scripts/ to ~/.local/share/kokoro/ | Updates the TTS generation script |
| Bun runtime | mise use bun@latest | Updates the Bun version in mise.toml |
Workflow Phases
Phase 1: Component Selection
Ask the user which component to upgrade using AskUserQuestion. Present the four options above.
Phase 2: Pre-Upgrade Health Check
# Run health check to establish baseline
~/.local/share/kokoro/../../eon/cc-skills/plugins/tts-tg-sync/scripts/kokoro-install.sh --health
# Record current versions
cat ~/.local/share/kokoro/version.json
Phase 3: Execute Upgrade
Run the appropriate upgrade command for the selected component.
Phase 4: Post-Upgrade Verification
# Health check again
kokoro-install.sh --health
# Generate test audio to verify TTS still works
~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv/bin/python ~/.local/share/kokoro/tts_generate.py \
--text "Upgrade verification test" --voice af_heart --lang en-us --speed 1.0 \
--output /tmp/kokoro-tts-upgrade-test.wav
Phase 5: Bot Restart (if needed)
If bot dependencies or Bun runtime were upgraded, restart the bot:
pkill -f 'bun.*src/main.ts' || true
cd ~/.claude/automation/claude-telegram-sync && bun --watch run src/main.ts
TodoWrite Task Templates
1. [Identify] Present upgradeable components via AskUserQuestion
2. [Preflight] Run health check on target component
3. [Backup] Note current versions (version.json, package.json)
4. [Upgrade] Execute upgrade command
5. [Verify] Run post-upgrade health check
6. [Test] Generate test audio to verify TTS still works
7. [Restart] Restart bot if needed
8. [Report] Show before/after versions
Post-Change Checklist
- Health check passes (all 6 checks OK)
- version.json updated with new versions
- Test audio generates and plays correctly
- Bot is running if it was restarted
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade fails | No internet or PyPI issue | Check connectivity, retry |
| Model download slow | First-time ~400MB, subsequent cached | Wait for download to complete |
| Version mismatch | Stale version.json | Re-run kokoro-install.sh --health to check, --upgrade to fix |
| MLX-Audio import fails | mlx-audio version incompatibility | kokoro-install.sh --upgrade reinstalls mlx-audio |
| Bot won't start after upgrade | Dependency conflict | cd ~/.claude/automation/claude-telegram-sync && bun install |

Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, reflect before closing the task:
- Locate yourself. — Find this SKILL.md's canonical path (Glob for this skill's name) before editing. All corrections target THIS file and its sibling references/ — never other documentation.
- What failed? — Fix the instruction that caused it. If it could recur, add it as an anti-pattern.
- What worked better than expected? — Promote it to recommended practice. Document why.
- What drifted? — Any script, reference, or external dependency that no longer matches reality gets fixed now.
- Log it. — Every change gets an evolution-log entry with trigger, fix, and evidence.
Do NOT defer. The next invocation inherits whatever you leave behind.
