c-voice

c-voice is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daxaur/openpaw. It costs 44 tokens per session (430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A macOS voice toolkit that turns spoken audio into written text and reads written text aloud. Speech transcription uses ElevenLabs, while speech output uses macOS’s built-in voice command.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps transcribe recordings or microphone input, read text aloud with a selected macOS voice, and save spoken output as an audio file.
Why use it?
It removes the need to type spoken content manually and can make responses, summaries, or alerts available as audio.

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

c-voice 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to transcribe spoken audio to text via sag (powered by ElevenLabs) and to speak text aloud using the macOS say command.

Available CLI Tools

sag — Speech-to-Text (ElevenLabs)

# Transcribe an audio file
sag transcribe --file recording.mp3

# Record from microphone and transcribe
sag record --output transcript.txt

# Transcribe with a specific language hint
sag transcribe --file audio.wav --language en

# Output transcript to stdout
sag transcribe --file audio.m4a --stdout

say — Text-to-Speech (macOS built-in)

# Speak text aloud
say "Hello, how can I help you today?"

# Use a specific voice
say -v Samantha "Your report is ready."

# Save spoken audio to a file
say -o output.aiff "Text to synthesize"

# List available voices
say -v ?

# Control speaking rate (words per minute)
say -r 180 "Speaking at a custom rate"

Usage Guidelines

  • Use sag to process audio files the user provides or to capture mic input
  • Use say to read back responses, summaries, or alerts aloud
  • Prefer say -v Samantha or -v Alex for natural-sounding output on macOS

Notes

  • sag requires a valid ElevenLabs API key configured in environment
  • say is built into macOS — no installation needed
  • Supported audio input formats for sag: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC

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.
