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

scribe 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 2d 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.

Zoom AI Services Scribe

Background reference for Zoom AI Services Scribe across:

  • synchronous single-file transcription (POST /aiservices/scribe/transcribe)
  • asynchronous batch jobs (/aiservices/scribe/jobs*)
  • browser microphone pseudo-streaming via repeated short file uploads
  • webhook-driven batch status updates
  • Build-platform JWT generation and credential handling

Official docs:

Routing Guardrail

  • If the user needs uploaded or stored media transcribed into text, route here first.
  • If the user needs live meeting media without file-based upload/batch jobs, route to ../rtms/SKILL.md.
  • If the user needs Zoom REST API inventory for AI Services paths, chain ../rest-api/SKILL.md.
  • If the user needs webhook signature patterns or generic HMAC receiver hardening, optionally chain ../webhooks/SKILL.md.

Core Workflow

  1. Get Build-platform credentials and generate an HS256 JWT.
  2. Choose fast mode for one short file or batch mode for stored archives / large sets.
  3. Submit the transcription request.
  4. For batch jobs, poll job/file status or receive webhook notifications.
  5. Persist and post-process transcript JSON.

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.
