listen

listen is a command for Claude Code from sonicfieldlabs/akouo. It costs 0 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general audio-listening command that sends one sound-related input through several analysis passes and combines their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Interpreting recordings, field notes, transcripts, spectrograms, or sound descriptions and deciding what listening analysis should happen next.
Why use it?
It provides a structured first review when the right kind of audio analysis is not yet known.

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

listen 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 6d 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.

/listen

Purpose

/listen is the default akoúō command. It routes one sonic object through a primary, secondary, and corrective ear.

Use it when the user wants a responsible general listening pass without specifying a specialized mode.

When To Use

Use /listen for:

  • general audio or sound prompt interpretation
  • first-pass analysis of unknown sonic material
  • routing a recording, field note, transcript, spectrogram, or sonic description
  • identifying what kind of listening should happen next
  • avoiding premature source identification

Skills Called

  • akouo-router
  • router-selected primary listening mode
  • router-selected secondary listening mode
  • router-selected corrective listening mode

Execution Order

  1. Run akouo-router.
  2. Run the selected primary mode.
  3. Run the selected secondary mode.
  4. Run the selected corrective mode.
  5. Synthesize the three listening outputs without flattening their differences.

Expected Output

Use schemas/command-output.schema.json.

The command output must include:

  • router output
  • skills called
  • execution order
  • one standard listening output per selected mode
  • claim summary using the shared claim taxonomy
  • risks and mediations
  • main reading
  • alternative reading
  • recommended next mode

Guardrails

  • Mode selection must happen before interpretation.
  • The corrective mode must actively limit overclaiming.
  • The synthesis must preserve disagreement between modes.
  • Text prompts, transcripts, and audio files must not be treated as equivalent evidence.
  • If the input is sensitive, forensic, political, or testimonial, route conservatively.

Must Not Do

  • Do not skip the router.
  • Do not identify a source as fact without evidence.
  • Do not turn the three-mode chain into one seamless interpretation.
  • Do not place speculative claims outside speculative.
  • Do not place unverified technical claims inside measured.
  • Do not ignore undetermined.

If the user needs depth, recommend /full-ear. If the object raises evidence, archive, or harm concerns, recommend /forensic. If it opens research directions, recommend /study or /reference.

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.

listen is a command published in the GitHub repository sonicfieldlabs/akouo (10 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 445 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
