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

audio-routing-docs 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audiodocs.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 — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audio Routing Docs

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

  • Find a command / API: → Step 2 (search --query <term>)
  • Read the full section for one command: → Step 3 (section --page <name> --id <anchor>)
  • Grab an entire doc page: → Step 4 (fetch --page <name>)
  • Prime the cache for offline use: → Step 5 (index)
  • List all known pages grouped by host: → Step 1 (list-pages)

When to use

  • User asks "what does pw-link / jack_connect / SwitchAudioSource / svcl.exe do?"
  • Need to verify a subsystem CLI flag before recommending it (anti-hallucination guard).
  • Need the canonical URL for a PipeWire man page, JACK API doc, Apple Core Audio archive page, or Microsoft WASAPI concept page.
  • About to write instructions involving virtual drivers (BlackHole, VB-Cable, VoiceMeeter) and want the real install/config page, not a guess.

This skill is docs only. For actual capability (running pw-link, installing BlackHole, flipping Windows default output), use the sibling skills: audio-pipewire, audio-jack, audio-coreaudio, audio-wasapi.


Step 1 — Know the page catalog

The script works only against a curated list of pages across four hosts: docs.pipewire.org, jackaudio.org, developer.apple.com, learn.microsoft.com. Get the current list:

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/audiodocs.py list-pages

Common picks by question:

Question Page
"What does pw-link accept?" pipewire-man-pw-link
"How do I dump the PipeWire graph?" pipewire-man-pw-dump
"Where are PipeWire CLIs listed?" pipewire-programs
"WirePlumber session manager?" wireplumber-home
"What is jack_lsp?" jack-api or jack-stanford
"JackTrip over the internet?" jacktrip-docs, jacktrip-github
"What is Core Audio / the HAL?" coreaudio-overview, coreaudio-essentials
"SwitchAudioSource flags?" switchaudio-osx
"BlackHole install?" blackhole-github
"WASAPI exclusive vs shared?" wasapi-exclusive, wasapi-overview
"NirSoft svcl.exe flags?" wasapi-svcl
"AudioDeviceCmdlets PowerShell?" wasapi-audiodevicecmdlets
"VB-Cable / VoiceMeeter install?" wasapi-vbcable, wasapi-voicemeeter

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
