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

gobbler-setup 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 5d 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.

Gobbler setup and troubleshooting

Use this Skill for installation, configuration, dependency checks, Docker services, the SQLite worker, and browser-relay problems.

Start with diagnostics

gobbler --version
gobbler doctor --json
gobbler status --json
  • doctor --json is the broad setup report: Python, ffmpeg, Docker, config, and conversion services.
  • status --json focuses on provider readiness and YouTube fallback/proxy state.
  • status --json can emit a useful JSON body and exit nonzero when degraded.

Do not assume every degraded service blocks every workflow. YouTube needs no local service; local audio needs ffmpeg; documents need Docling; web pages need Crawl4AI.

Install

Requirements: Python 3.11+ and uv. ffmpeg is needed for audio/video. Docker is needed for documents/web pages.

git clone https://github.com/Enablement-Engineering/gobbler.git
cd gobbler
uv sync
uv run gobbler --version
uv run gobbler doctor --json

Optional isolated global tool:

uv tool install .
gobbler --version

After pulling updates:

uv tool install . --force

Docker services

The Compose stack has Docling and Crawl4AI only:

make start-docker
docker compose ps
gobbler doctor --json

Default endpoints:

  • Docling: http://localhost:5001
  • Crawl4AI: http://localhost:11235

Inspect failures:

docker compose logs --tail 100 docling
docker compose logs --tail 100 crawl4ai

Do not tell users Redis or RQ is required. The current queue is SQLite-backed.

Configuration

Path:

~/.config/gobbler/config.yml

Commands:

gobbler config path
gobbler config show --format json
gobbler config init

Edit the YAML file directly; the current CLI has no config set or config validate command. There is no universal environment override system and GOBBLER_CONFIG does not select another config file. Current integration variables include:

  • TRANSCRIPTAPI_KEY
  • WEBSHARE_USER, WEBSHARE_PASS, YOUTUBE_PROXY
  • CRAWL4AI_PROXY
  • OPENAI_API_KEY
  • CRAWL4AI_API_TOKEN for Compose, paired with config
  • GOBBLER_MODELS_PATH for the Docling cache mount

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.
