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 | $0.01947 | $0.01947 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00779 | $0.00779 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00389 | $0.00389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00195 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
AgentVibes CLAUDE.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.

AgentVibes — Development Guidelines
Updated: 2026-07-06 (v5.12.x era)
What this is
AgentVibes (agentvibes on npm) gives AI coding agents a spoken voice: Claude Code hooks + MCP server + interactive TUI, with Piper/Kokoro/ElevenLabs providers, background music, per-agent BMAD voices, a remote SSH receiver, and avatar rendering. Node ESM core with parallel bash and PowerShell runtimes and a Python MCP server.

Everything under the repo's .claude/ (hooks, personalities, commands, config) is the npm package payload. Editing a hook here is a product change: it must pass tests, keep bash/PowerShell parity, and reach real installs via the installer (manifestSafeCopy) — not just the dev checkout. The remote receiver additionally needs an in-place redeploy to ~/.agentvibes/ + watcher restart.
Architecture invariants (hard-won — do not regress)
- The utterance resolver is the single source of truth.
src/services/utterance-resolver.jsreads all config once and emits a flat plan (voice, engine, transport, effects, music, speed, volume). Players consume the plan; they must NOT re-read config files directly. New playback behavior goes in the resolver + precedence table, not in a player script. - Volume defaults are 20% (
0.20), never 70%. Regression-tested; covered in bash, PS, and JS. - Never select TTS output by "most recent file." Providers emit an
AV_OUTPUT:sentinel on stdout; capture the exact filename and fail loudly on synthesis failure. Thels -theuristic is retired. - Kokoro voices force the kokoro engine (an
af_*/am_*voice with a piper ENGINE column = silence). The resolver encodes this; keep it. - Bash/PowerShell parity. Any change to
play-tts.shneeds the mirror change inplay-tts.ps1(and vice versa), plus the contract-test matrix (AVI-S8.7) kept green. Note the historical env-flag split: bash readsAGENTVIBES_NO_PLAYBACK, PS readsAGENTVIBES_NO_PLAY— set both. - Receiver settings are keyed by project (TTS
--project-dirbasename namespaces scene/avatar/voice). Don't wipeglb-scenes.json— it holds calibration. - SSH senders must never force
-p 22— it overrides~/.ssh/configalias ports and silently drops TTS.
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.

AgentVibes CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository paulpreibisch/AgentVibes (156 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,947 tokens to every session, about $0.0078 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 2026-09-03.
