What is AgentVibes AGENTS.md?

A set of instructions for using AgentVibes, a tool that reads coding-agent messages aloud, during development.

Use it to configure spoken acknowledgments and completion messages for every user interaction.

It tells the agent when to speak, how much to say, and which settings to use, so voice output follows consistent rules.

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	$0.01234	$0.01234
Opus 5.5	$0.00494	$0.00494
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00247	$0.00247

Security

Grade A, and why

AgentVibes 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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to AgentVibes copilot-instructions.md — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

AgentVibes TTS Protocol

CRITICAL: You MUST execute TTS at TWO points for EVERY user interaction using the text_to_speech MCP tool:

Acknowledgment - Start of task: text_to_speech(text="[action]")
Completion - End of task: text_to_speech(text="[result + key details]")

Example:

[text_to_speech(text="Checking git status")]
[work...]
[text_to_speech(text="Repository is clean, no changes")]

Dynamic Configuration

On session start, call get_config to read the current AgentVibes settings (voice, personality, verbosity, speed). Use these values for all subsequent TTS calls. If get_config fails, use the defaults below.

Default Verbosity: MEDIUM

Acknowledgment: Action + key approach
Completion: Result + important decisions
Include: Major choices only

Default Style: normal

Rules

Never skip acknowledgment TTS
Never skip completion TTS
Match verbosity level
Keep TTS text under 150 characters
Always include errors in completion TTS

Quick Ref: low=action+result | medium=+key decisions | high=+full reasoning

Available MCP Tools

AgentVibes provides these tools via MCP:

text_to_speech — Speak text aloud (supports text, personality, voice, language params)
mute / unmute — Toggle TTS audio
list_voices — Show available voices
set_voice — Change the active voice
set_personality — Change speaking personality (sarcastic, pirate, zen, etc.)
set_speed — Adjust speech rate
set_verbosity — Change verbosity level (low, medium, high)
list_personalities — Show available personalities
get_config — Show current TTS configuration

BMAD Agent Voice Routing

If .bmad-agent-context exists in the project root, check its content:

Single agent mode (content is an agent ID like "analyst"): Use text_to_speech with the agent's voice/personality for all speech.

Party mode (content is "party-mode"): Each BMAD agent should speak using text_to_speech with their display name as the personality. When multiple agents respond in a roundtable discussion, call text_to_speech sequentially (not in parallel) so agents speak one at a time.

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.
