Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tts:voice scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Help the user choose a speech engine and voice for the claude-tts daemon.

Steps:

  1. Read the current selection from ~/.config/claude-tts/config.json (the voice.engine and voice.name fields). If the file does not exist, tell the user to run /tts:setup first and stop.
  2. List the engines available on this machine and, for the selected engine, the voices it offers. Present them as a numbered list with a recommendation.
  3. When the user picks, update voice.engine and/or voice.name in ~/.config/claude-tts/config.json. Preserve all other config keys exactly; write valid JSON. If the engine changes to say, espeak, or voicebox, set project_voices.enabled=false because those engines cannot enforce portable per-project gender policy. If the engine changes to edge-tts or kokoro and the user wants to regenerate assignment preferences, use the same stable project_voices.gender_preference enum as setup: balanced, female_only, male_only, female_preferred, or male_preferred.
  4. Restart the daemon so the change takes effect (the daemon reads config on start). Confirm the socket is bound afterward at ${CLAUDE_TTS_SOCKET:-${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/claude-tts.sock}.
  5. Speak a one-line confirmation so the user hears the new voice.

Do not hardcode absolute personal paths. If the daemon is not installed, say so and suggest /tts:setup.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
