vox: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

vox CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from rtk-ai/vox. It costs 656 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for a voice-feedback tool called vox and its planned conversational assistant. They specify French spoken summaries for significant coding tasks and require Bun for running the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Giving short French voice summaries after major work and following Bun-based development commands. The document also records a future plan for speech recognition, conversation, and speech output.
Why use it?
They keep the coding agent's spoken feedback consistent and prevent using the wrong JavaScript runtime or commands.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is rtk-ai/vox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vox configures →

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

vox 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.

Voice feedback (vox)

This project uses vox for spoken feedback.

After completing a significant task (feature, bug fix, refactor), provide an oral summary:

vox -l fr "Short summary of what was done, in French"

(-l fr routes to a backend with proper French voices; -b say only exists on macOS.)

Keep summaries under 2 sentences. Use French. Do not speak for trivial operations (formatting, single-line fixes).

Runtime: Bun

Toujours utiliser bun au lieu de npm, npx, node, ou tsx.

Roadmap: Mode conversationnel (inspiré PersonaPlex/Moshi)

Objectif: transformer vox d'un outil TTS one-shot en un assistant vocal conversationnel intégré à Claude Code / Codex, avec Claude comme cerveau (bien supérieur au 7B de Moshi).

Architecture cible

vox_converse mode:
  Micro → Whisper STT (local) → Claude API (streaming) → TTS streaming (qwen-native) → speakers
  Boucle continue avec VAD pour détection fin de parole
  Modes: push-to-talk | vad | full-duplex
  Latence cible: ~800ms première syllabe

Phases d'implémentation

Phase Feature Description
1 vox_hear STT local avec Whisper (candle-whisper ou whisper.cpp bindings), VAD pour détection fin de parole
2 Streaming TTS Parler pendant la génération Claude — alimenter qwen-native phrase par phrase
3 vox_converse Boucle conversation complète: hear → Claude API stream → speak stream. Nouveau tool MCP
4 Personas .voxpersona = voice clone + style + system prompt. vox persona create "nom"

Références techniques (PersonaPlex)

  • Codec Mimi (Kyutai, MIT): SEANet + Transformer + RVQ 8 codebooks, 12.5 fps, 24kHz
  • sphn lib: Opus streaming en Python — référence pour le streaming audio
  • Protocole WebSocket binaire: 0x01+Opus (audio), 0x02+UTF8 (texte) — inspiration pour vox_converse
  • Voice conditioning: embeddings .pt pré-calculés — enrichir voice cloning existant
  • VAD pattern: silence detection pour turn-taking naturel
  • Repo: https://github.com/NVIDIA/personaplex | Model: nvidia/personaplex-7b-v1

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.
