Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00066 | $0.01149 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00575 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00230 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
podcast 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.
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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Configuration (optional) — preferred voice profile names, if you have them: HOST_A =
Bella(curious co-host, asks) · HOST_B =Alloy(expert, explains). Both are kokoro presets. If they don't exist, the skill auto-picks two profiles. Requires a running voice server on127.0.0.1:17493(default) — either vocald (headless: docker orbrew-installedvocald-server) or the Voicebox desktop app. For a remote or authed vocald, exportVOICEBOX_API=<base url>andVOICEBOX_API_KEY=<key>before running. macOS (afplay).
podcast — local NotebookLM-style audio overviews
Turn the given source into a short two-host audio conversation and play it aloud via vocald/Voicebox. Like NotebookLM's Audio Overview — no cloud, no upload, no leaving the terminal.
Two phases: write the entire script first, then voice it. Never interleave writing and speaking — compose the whole episode up front so it's coherent, then render it turn by turn.
How you are invoked
The user called you with a file path, a URL, or a topic, e.g.:
/podcast raw/some-article.md/podcast https://example.com/post/podcast the tradeoffs between Delta Lake and Iceberg
Steps
-
Pick the two voices. Call
list_profiles(voicebox MCP tool, orGET $VOICEBOX_API/profiles— addAuthorization: Bearer $VOICEBOX_API_KEYif the server enforces auth). If no profiles exist on a vocald server, create two kokoro presets first via thecreate_profileMCP tool (e.g.af_bella,af_alloy).- Use the Configuration names (HOST_A / HOST_B) if present; otherwise the first two distinct
profiles — and tell the user which two. Note the profiles' engine (the helper defaults to
kokoro). - Fewer than two profiles and
create_profileunavailable (desktop app)? Stop and ask the user to create two in Voicebox → Voices, then rerun.
- Use the Configuration names (HOST_A / HOST_B) if present; otherwise the first two distinct
profiles — and tell the user which two. Note the profiles' engine (the helper defaults to

Get the source.
- File path → read it with the Read tool.
- URL → fetch it with WebFetch.
- No argument → use the current conversation, or ask what the podcast should be about.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.
