    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

gemini-live-audio 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 9d 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.

Gemini Live audio

Use this skill when the job is a live spoken interaction, not a batch narration render. Gemini Live is for bidirectional sessions: microphone or streamed media in, spoken model output back, with turn-taking, interruptions, tools, and session lifecycle concerns. If the deliverable is a finished voiceover, audiobook, podcast narration, or offline transcript, prefer a TTS or speech-to-text skill unless the user explicitly needs live turn-taking.

All volatile facts below were verified against official Google AI and Google Cloud documentation on 2026-07-10. Model names, preview/GA status, pricing, rate limits, supported regions, and governance controls change often; re-check official docs before production launch, procurement commitments, or regulated deployment.

Documented facts

Current shape of the product

  • Gemini Live API is a stateful WebSocket API for low-latency voice and vision interactions. It can process continuous streams of audio, images, text, and, in API references, video; it returns spoken/audio output and can also return text/function-call events depending on configuration and model.
  • Google AI Live API pages currently note that the Interactions API is generally available and recommended for access to the latest features and models. Treat this skill as Live-API-specific guidance; for a greenfield production agent, verify whether Live API or Interactions API is the intended Google surface before committing architecture.
  • Google AI Developer API docs mark Live API as Preview. Google Cloud / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform docs separately document Vertex/enterprise availability and a GA Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio model. Treat Developer API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform as distinct deployment surfaces with different auth, terms, locations, governance, quotas, and support.
  • The principal Live agent model family documented on 2026-07-10 includes gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview in the Developer API docs and gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio / Gemini 2.5 Flash Live API Native Audio in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform docs. Live Translation is documented separately with gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview.
  • Use Live Agent mode when the model is an assistant that reasons, asks questions, calls tools, and handles turns. Use Live Translation mode when the model is an interpreter pipeline: audio in one language, translated audio out another. Live Translation is documented as audio-restricted, translation-only, and not a tool/instruction-driven agent surface.

Changes

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.
