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

speak 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

CVI Speak

テキストを CVI 設定に従って読み上げます。

実行経路: MCP tool(唯一の経路)

mcp__cvi-voice__speak を Skill tool 経由ではなくツール呼び出しとして即座に実行してください。引数:

  • text: $ARGUMENTS の内容
  • voice: 省略可(CVI config の per-language voice が使われる)
  • rate: 省略可(CVI config の SPEECH_RATE が使われる)

MCP server は Claude Code の sandbox 外で動作するため、dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true は不要です。permission prompt も発生しません。

mcp__cvi-voice__speak が未登録、または呼び出しが失敗した場合は、MCP server の状態を /cvi:check で診断してください。Bash fallback は存在しません(MCP 一本化、#242)。

結果表示

以下の形式でユーザーに表示してください(絵文字不可):

Voice: "読み上げたテキスト"
  • ツールの返り値は Speaking: <text> 形式。<text> 部分を上の "読み上げたテキスト" に入れて表示する
  • CVI 無効(CVI_ENABLED=off)のとき: MCP 経路は CVI is disabled. Enable with: /cvi:state on を文字列として返す。この場合は Voice: "..." ではなく、その案内文字列をそのまま表示する

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.
