hal-voice-toggle

A command that switches the HAL 9000 voice plugin between enabled and disabled states by changing its configuration file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it whenever you want to mute or restore HAL 9000 clips. The command flips the current setting and reports whether sounds are enabled or disabled.
Why use it?
It provides a quick way to stop or restore the plugin’s sounds without removing the plugin or editing its settings manually.

Getting it into your agent

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

hal-voice-toggle 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 yesterday.

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

Toggle the hal-voice plugin on or off by flipping enabled in config.json.

Run this command:

python3 -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path

config_path = Path('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}') / 'config.json'
try:
    config = json.loads(config_path.read_text())
except (FileNotFoundError, json.JSONDecodeError):
    config = {}

config['enabled'] = not config.get('enabled', True)
config_path.write_text(json.dumps(config, indent=2))
state = 'enabled' if config['enabled'] else 'disabled'
print(f'hal-voice: sounds {state}')
"

Print the output to the user exactly as returned.

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.
