Narova Openai

Use this optional Narova companion when the user explicitly requests OpenAI text-to-speech, an OpenAI voice such as marin or cedar, a custom OpenAI voice ID, gpt-4o-mini-tts, steerable cloud narration, or Sora video generation through the OpenAI API. It registers separate speech and video workers without adding cloud dependencies or credentials to the main Narova skill. Do not use it for ordinary local narrated-video requests; Narova remains local-first.

Narova + OpenAI

Use this skill for optional OpenAI speech or Sora video generation. Keep every OpenAI API detail in this companion and communicate through Narova's generic speech or video JSONL protocol. Let Narova own caching, staging, provenance, captions, rendering, and every downstream media stage.

Requires the standalone Narova CLI, the Narova skill, Python 3.10+, network access, an OpenAI Platform project with the requested model access, and OPENAI_API_KEY.

Setup

Install the standalone Narova CLI as described by the narova skill, then install narova and narova-openai as independently selected skills from ammar-hasan/narova.
Locate this installed skill from the directory containing this SKILL.md; call it <narova-openai-skill-dir>.

Verify the worker:

bash <narova-openai-skill-dir>/tool/setup.sh

Set the key in the environment that runs Narova. Never put it in reel.config.mjs:
```
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
```

Explicitly register and verify only the workers you need:

narova providers add \
  <narova-openai-skill-dir>/tool/provider.json
narova providers doctor openai
narova voices list --backend openai
narova providers add \
  <narova-openai-skill-dir>/tool/video-provider.json
narova providers doctor sora

Read references/configuration.md before writing a voice block. Read references/video-generation.md before using Sora, including its announced API shutdown date.

Operating rules

Default to gpt-4o-mini-tts with marin or cedar; use the dated model snapshot when a render must remain pinned.
Put delivery direction in providerOptions.instructions, not visible caption text. Keep vo.text clean; reserve synthesisText for wording that should be spoken but not captioned.
Keep OPENAI_API_KEY only in the process environment or a user-managed secret store.
Do not add the OpenAI SDK to Narova's venv or modify Narova's setup.
Do not copy this worker into the Narova skill. Registration composes two independently installed skills.
Treat synthesis as a network operation that may be rate-limited or billed.
Do not automatically retry synthesis failures. A request may be billed even when the connection fails before Narova receives it.
Disclose to end users that the voice is AI-generated.
Let Narova's sentence cache avoid repeat billing. Text, voice, language, tempo, gain, provider version, model, speed, or instructions changes invalidate the relevant cache entry.
Treat Sora generation as an explicit, billed network operation. Do not retry a submission automatically; the remote job may already exist.
Keep Sora's lifecycle warning visible. Its API is currently deprecated and scheduled to shut down on September 24, 2026.
