start

start is a command for coding agents from enesbasbug/voice-to-claude. It costs 6 tokens per session (712 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts a speech-to-text background service for voice dictation into Claude.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the voice-dictation service after setup and confirm that the service is running.
Why use it?
It lets you dictate instead of typing when working with Claude, provided the voice tool has already been configured.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/enesbasbug/voice-to-claude/start
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/enesbasbug/voice-to-claude

Or install voice-to-claude, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 commands.

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

start 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 4d 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.

Start voice-to-claude Daemon

Start the speech-to-text daemon for voice dictation.

Instructions

When the user runs /voice-to-claude:start:

Step 1: Check if setup is complete

PYTHON_CMD=$([ -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" ] && echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" || (command -v python3.11 >/dev/null && echo python3.11) || (command -v python3.10 >/dev/null && echo python3.10) || echo python3); test -f ~/.config/voice-to-claude/config.json && $PYTHON_CMD -c "import json; c=json.load(open('$HOME/.config/voice-to-claude/config.json')); exit(0 if c.get('setup_complete') else 1)" 2>/dev/null && echo "SETUP_OK" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED"
  • If output is SETUP_NEEDED: Tell user to run /voice-to-claude:setup first.
  • If output is SETUP_OK: Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Check daemon status

PYTHON_CMD=$([ -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" ] && echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" || (command -v python3.11 >/dev/null && echo python3.11) || (command -v python3.10 >/dev/null && echo python3.10) || echo python3); $PYTHON_CMD ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/exec.py daemon status

Step 3: Start if not running

If daemon is not running:

PYTHON_CMD=$([ -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" ] && echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" || (command -v python3.11 >/dev/null && echo python3.11) || (command -v python3.10 >/dev/null && echo python3.10) || echo python3); $PYTHON_CMD ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/exec.py daemon start --background

Step 4: Confirm and show usage

PYTHON_CMD=$([ -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" ] && echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.venv/bin/python" || (command -v python3.11 >/dev/null && echo python3.11) || (command -v python3.10 >/dev/null && echo python3.10) || echo python3); $PYTHON_CMD ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/exec.py daemon status

Show usage reminder:

voice-to-claude daemon started.

Usage:
  Hotkey: Ctrl+Alt (hold to record, release to transcribe)

  1. Hold Ctrl+Alt - Recording starts
  2. Speak clearly
  3. Release - Text appears in input

Tips:
  - Speak in complete sentences for best accuracy
  - Use /voice-to-claude:config to change model or hotkey
  - Use /voice-to-claude:stop to stop the daemon

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.
