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

eat scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

/eat — Knowledge Extraction Skill

Quick Reference

Source Method
YouTube yt-dlp subtitles → Groq audio fallback → local Whisper fallback
Instagram / TikTok / X video yt-dlp (cookie-authenticated) → local Whisper → frame extraction
Podcast / direct audio yt-dlp download → Groq transcription → local Whisper fallback
X/Twitter thread X API v2 (X_BEARER_TOKEN required)
Web article defuddle (preferred) or WebFetch
Local file / PDF Read tool
Paywalled content Extract what's accessible, note the wall

Output always starts with Source: [title] — [URL] then knowledge by category.

Auth & Tools

  • yt-dlp cookies: Global config at ~/.config/yt-dlp/config points to Brave browser cookies. Authenticated access to Instagram, X, TikTok — no extra flags needed.
  • Local Whisper: whisper CLI (openai-whisper). Use as fallback when Groq is unavailable or for quick local transcription. Base model is fast enough for most content.
  • defuddle: defuddle parse <url> --md — cleaner article extraction than WebFetch, strips nav/ads/clutter.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify source type and fetch content

YouTube video (youtube.com or youtu.be):

Run scripts/fetch_youtube.sh <url> — tries subtitle extraction first, falls back to Groq audio transcription. Outputs transcript to stdout.

If it fails: tell the user exactly what failed and stop.


Instagram / TikTok / X video (instagram.com, tiktok.com, x.com with video):

yt-dlp is configured with Brave cookies — authenticated access, no extra flags needed.

# 1. Metadata first (always start here)
yt-dlp --print title --print description --print duration --print uploader --skip-download "<url>"

# 2. Download to tmp
yt-dlp -o "/tmp/extract-%(id)s.%(ext)s" "<url>"

# 3. Transcribe audio with local Whisper
ffmpeg -i /tmp/extract-<id>.mp4 -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 16000 -ac 1 /tmp/extract-<id>-audio.wav
whisper /tmp/extract-<id>-audio.wav --model base --language en --output_format txt --output_dir /tmp/

# 4. Extract key frames (one every ~10 seconds)
mkdir -p /tmp/extract-frames
ffmpeg -i /tmp/extract-<id>.mp4 -vf "fps=1/10" -q:v 2 /tmp/extract-frames/<id>-%02d.jpg

# 5. Read frames visually — look for on-screen text, diagrams, handwritten notes, visual content
# 6. Synthesize: transcript + visuals + caption
# 7. Trash all temp files when done

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.
