Use this skill when working with audio in bx-ai: text-to-speech with aiSpeak(), streaming speech with aiSpeakStream() (voice agents, telephony, browser playback), speech-to-text with aiTranscribe(), audio translation with aiTranslate(), choosing audio providers (Cartesia, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Mistral, Gemini, Grok, Groq), voice gender keywords, and audio events and settings.
Use this skill when writing BoxLang AI chat code: aiChat(), aiChatAsync(), aiChatStream(), aiMessage(), params (temperature, max_tokens, model), options (provider, apiKey, returnFormat, timeout), provider selection, return formats, multi-turn conversations, normalized reasoning, and error handling.
Use this skill when building AI pipelines with BoxLang AI: aiMessage() templates, aiModel() steps, aiTransform() steps and extractors, aiParallel(), chaining with .to() and .transform(), the _input system variable, multi-model pipelines, streaming pipelines, and structured output in pipelines.
Choose, customize, override, install, or write a theme for a bx-sites (ortus-boxlang/bx-sites) site - the 10 built-in themes, air-gapped/offline considerations, the ThemeProvider contract (layout.bxm/page.bxm, plus optional search.bxm/blog.bxm/blog-page.bxm and any frontmatter-named layout), the layout: frontmatter key (outer shell + body), bootstrap's marketing homepage (home.bxm), color-only customization via extraCss, ejecting/overriding a theme, writing one from scratch, installing a published theme from ForgeBox, importing an mkdocs/jekyll/hugo theme, and the homepage hero banner.
