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 | $0.01660 | $0.01660 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00664 | $0.00664 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00332 | $0.00332 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
Grade A, and why
echook AGENTS.md 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 7d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
echook — agent guide
echook does two things for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex: (1) audio and out-of-band notification of editor lifecycle events (sound, spoken summary, desktop toast, webhook) and (2) the status line. Live truth for every subcommand, hook, config key, error code and env var is audio-hooks manifest; this file only holds what that JSON and the code cannot tell you.
Map
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
hooks/ |
Runtime, flat modules. hook_runner.py is the entry: event tables, gating (enabled, snooze, filters, debounce), run_hook, main. runner_core.py owns shared state (preferences handle, NDJSON log, queue dir, invoker lookup). One concern each: audio_playback.py, desktop_notification.py, text_to_speech.py, webhook_dispatch.py, rate_limit_alerts.py, terminal_sequence.py, notification_context.py (wording, sanitising), platform_shell.py (PowerShell launch and escaping, WSL). Call across modules as module.name(...), never from module import name. Also user_preferences.py (config load, migration, data-dir resolution) and invoker.py (which editor called). |
bin/ |
audio-hooks.py is the CLI entry: dispatch, config, state detection, small commands, manifest. Larger concerns are one module each in bin/echook_cli/ (legacy_uninstall, editor_installs, statusline, plugin_upgrade, config_backup, error_codes, …; its __init__.py lists them). Add a concern as a new module there, not to the entry file. Also the two status-line renderers and the launchers. |
config/ |
default_preferences.json (the template every install migrates toward), audio_manifest.json (prompt per sound file). |
audio/default/, audio/custom/ |
Voice theme and chime theme; one file per event and variant. |
cursor-hooks/, codex-hooks/ |
Install templates for those editors. |
plugins/audio-hooks/ |
The shipped plugin. Its audio, bin, config, cursor-hooks, codex-hooks directories and the Python files in its hooks directory are a build mirror — never edit. Hand-edited in place: plugins/audio-hooks/hooks/hooks.json (the Claude Code registration; no repo-root counterpart), runner, skills, evals, README.md and the two plugin manifests. |
scripts/ |
build-plugin.sh, bump-version.sh, generate-audio.py. The script installer was removed in 7.0.0; audio-hooks uninstall still removes an old script install. |
tests/ |
unittest suite; every module imports _isolation first. |
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.

echook AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ChanMeng666/echook (90 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,660 tokens to every session, about $0.0066 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
