call-verbal-irony-detector

call-verbal-irony-detector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CALLE-AI/awesome-phone-call-agents. It costs 59 tokens per session (772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An offline transcript helper that flags possible verbal irony, where the literal words conflict with the surrounding complaint. It reports supporting text, broad confidence or abstention, and wording for a calmer follow-up; it cannot establish intent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after calls involving complaints to review irony cues and prepare de-escalating language for the next call.
Why use it?
Positive-sounding words such as “great” can express dissatisfaction in context. Checking for this mismatch can prevent a follow-up from taking an angry or sarcastic reply literally.

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

call-verbal-irony-detector 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 29d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/irony_detector.py, scripts/test_irony_detector.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

call-verbal-irony-detector

What was said is not always what was meant.

call-summarizer reports caller sentiment - what was said. This skill detects verbal irony - the mismatch between the two - and turns it into the next call's strategy. A callee who answers "Oh, great. Just perfect." after a complaint is not happy, and an agent that acts on the literal words will make it worse.

When To Use

  • after any CALL-E call where the outcome hinges on a positive-sounding answer inside a complaint discussion
  • to decide whether a follow-up call should use a de-escalation goal
  • to generate that de-escalation goal for plan_call directly

When Not To Use

  • to detect sentiment in general; use call-summarizer for that
  • to detect fraud or social engineering; use call-fraud-shield
  • during a call; this is strictly post-call analysis plus pre-call goal crafting, because CALL-E exposes transcripts, not live audio
  • as proof of the callee's emotional state; text-only irony cues are ambiguous and the card says so

Workflow

Analyze a finished call

python3 scripts/irony_detector.py analyze --transcript path/to/call-result.json

Reads the real get_call_run result shape ({status, result: {transcript}}) or the flat shape used by sibling skill fixtures. Emits a card:

  • irony_detected + confidence (high / medium / low / none)
  • evidence: turn index, masked span, matched rules
  • irony_assessment: "unclear" with a reason when the callee never spoke
  • recommended_action: retry_with_deescalation_goal (with the goal text), verify_literal_intent_prompt, or continue

Confidence labels are fixed heuristic score buckets, not empirically calibrated probabilities. Action names are review suggestions only; confirm the person's intent and separately approve any follow-up call or consequential action.

Craft the follow-up goal

python3 scripts/irony_detector.py craft --scenario complaint-followup --language en

Emits the plan_call inputs JSON whose goal is the same de-escalation template the card recommends, so analysis and next call stay consistent.

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.
