A review command for audiovisual and sonic analysis, covering media such as film, video, games, interfaces, captions, and installations.

Use it to examine writing about sound, audiovisual media, technology, and listening. It checks political, technical, and scene-specific assumptions in the analysis.

It identifies overly simple claims that treat sound and vision as opposites or describe sound as inherently immersive, authentic, or liberating.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00566
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00226
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00113
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00057

Security

Grade A, and why

litany 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 2mo 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.

/litany

Purpose

/litany audits audiovisual and sonic analysis for simplistic binaries, especially claims that idealize sound against vision, writing, media, or technology.

It functions as an anti-mystification command.

When To Use

Use /litany for:

audiovisual work
film, video, and installation analysis
game, interface, caption, subtitle, and scene analysis
media theory
critiques of sonic mysticism
claims about sound as immersion, body, presence, authenticity, or liberation
claims that oppose sound and vision too neatly
checking a draft analysis for audiovisual litany patterns

Skills Called

akouo-router as an implicit planning pass that supplies the evidence inventory, risks, and forbidden assumptions the synthesis must respect
critical-political-listening
transductive-media-listening
audiovisual-scenic-listening
acoulogical-object-listening when needed to reground the critique in the sound object

Execution Order

Run critical-political-listening to detect universalist, romantic, or binary assumptions.
Run transductive-media-listening to identify media, platform, apparatus, and conversion conditions.
Run audiovisual-scenic-listening to map sound-image-text-scene relations, synchronization, captions, and interface conditions.
Run acoulogical-object-listening when the critique needs to return to the perceptual sound object.
Produce an audit of litany patterns, anti-litany corrections, and remaining risks.

Expected Output

Use schemas/command-output.schema.json.

The output must identify whether the analysis reproduces binaries such as:

sound is immersive, vision is distant
sound is body, image is intellect
sound is presence, writing is absence
sound is South, vision is North
sound is authentic, visuality is artificial

Guardrails

Critique must be concrete and text-specific or object-specific.
Do not reject embodiment, immersion, or presence automatically. Audit overstatement.
Name the mediation that complicates the binary.
Return to the sound object when critique becomes abstract.

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.
