tech

A technical inspection command for examining audio files, sound signals, production artifacts, and the processing steps between recording and playback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for file and metadata checks, waveform or spectrogram inspection, mixing and mastering notes, audio-repair planning, and analysis of recording or conversion effects.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish measurable problems—such as clipping, noise, distortion, dropouts, or codec damage—from issues that cannot be confirmed with the available input.

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

tech 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 3d 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.

/tech

Purpose

/tech is the technical inspection command. It focuses on file properties, signal behavior, waveform or spectrogram evidence, production artifacts, and mediation chains.

When To Use

Use /tech for:

  • file properties
  • waveform and spectrogram inspection
  • mastering, mixing, or production notes
  • clipping, distortion, noise, hum, hiss, dropouts, or codec artifacts
  • audio repair planning
  • metadata review
  • AI audio artifacts
  • sensor, microphone, compression, or platform mediation

Skills Called

  • akouo-router as an implicit planning pass that supplies the evidence inventory, risks, and forbidden assumptions the synthesis must respect
  • signal-inspection-listening
  • transductive-media-listening when mediation, codecs, sensors, models, platforms, or conversion chains are relevant

Execution Order

  1. Run signal-inspection-listening.
  2. Run transductive-media-listening if the sound's capture, encoding, transformation, or model mediation matters.
  3. Synthesize technical observations and state what cannot be measured from the available input.

Expected Output

Use schemas/command-output.schema.json.

The output must include:

  • technical observations
  • measured claims only when measurement exists
  • inferred technical causes clearly marked
  • mediation chain when known
  • what remains technically undetermined
  • recommended next mode

Guardrails

  • Technical evidence is not cultural meaning.
  • Do not invent file metadata or measurements.
  • Do not overstate source identity from signal traits.
  • If only text is supplied, state what technical inspection would require.
  • Keep repair or production recommendations separate from evidence claims.

Must Not Do

  • Do not place unverified values in measured.
  • Do not claim exact microphone, plugin, codec, platform, or model unless known.
  • Do not treat spectrogram patterns as proof of intention.
  • Do not ignore transduction when the recording chain shapes the sound.
  • Do not make forensic claims from technical artifacts alone.

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.

tech is a command published in the GitHub repository sonicfieldlabs/akouo (10 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 456 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.
