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

speed 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 9d 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

Change Narrator Speech Speed

Step 1: Determine Scope

Check if the user specified --local (e.g., /narrator:speed 1.5 --local). If so, changes apply to the local config file in the current working directory.

  • Global (default): ~/.claude-code-narrator/config
  • Local (--local): <cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/config

Step 2: Get the Speed Value

If the user provides a speed value (e.g., /narrator:speed 1.5), use that value. Valid range is 0.5 to 2.0. Default is 1.1.

If the value is outside the valid range, tell the user the valid range and ask them to pick a value.

If no value is provided, read the current speed from the appropriate config file (local if it exists and has a speed key, otherwise global) and show it to the user. Then ask what speed they would like using AskUserQuestion with these options:

  • 0.7 — Slow, deliberate
  • 1.0 — Natural pace
  • 1.1 — Default
  • 1.5 — Brisk

The user can also type a custom value.

Step 3: Set the Speed

Global mode (no --local):

Read ~/.claude-code-narrator/config and use the Edit tool to change the speed= line to the new value.

Local mode (--local):

Read <cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/config. If the file exists, use the Edit tool to change or add the speed= line. If the file does not exist, create the <cwd>/.claude-code-narrator/ directory if needed, then create the config file with the Write tool containing just speed=<value>.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use sed to edit state files — use the Read and Edit tools instead.

Step 4: Confirm

Tell the user the new speed value, then speak a test sentence so they can hear the difference:

echo "This is how I sound at the new speed." | bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/speak.sh" --force
Changes

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.
