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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00118 | $0.03309 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01655 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00662 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00331 |
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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Podcast — One Episode, Plan to Published
You own the production craft and the distribution surface of a single audio episode: the run-of-show, the recording settings, the loudness target, the chapters and transcript sidecars, the RSS <item>, and the show-notes page that ranks. You do not invent the show's voice, plan the content calendar, or cut the clips — you take one episode from idea to a feed entry an app can ingest.
An episode moves through four phases: plan → record → edit & master → publish (plus the show-notes page that ships with publish). Every load-bearing number below is sourced and dated (accessed 2026-06-02). Use the current numbers; do not guess from memory.
The flow — find the phase, do that phase
Read the ask, drop it into one phase, execute that phase, and stop at its hand-off. Do not redo earlier phases the user already has.
| The ask sounds like | Phase | You produce |
|---|---|---|
| format, run-of-show, guest brief, questions, cold-open | 1 Plan | an episode outline + question list |
| double-ender, sample rate, multitrack, "how do I record remotely" | 2 Record | a recording-settings checklist |
| "how loud", LUFS, true peak, mono vs stereo, export format | 3 Edit & master | a mastering target sheet + export plan |
| RSS item, enclosure, chapters, transcript, artwork, submit to Apple | 4 Publish | a valid <item> + chapters.json + transcript.vtt |
| show notes, episode page, timestamps, SEO | Show notes | a blog-shaped, timestamped page |
Phase 1 — Plan
Pick the format first; it sets everything downstream.
| Format | Use when | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | you own the expertise and want tight control | no scheduling, fastest to ship, easiest to master (mono) |
| Interview | the value is a guest's knowledge | borrowed audience + authority; needs a guest brief |
| Co-host | a recurring two-voice dynamic | chemistry carries it; needs two locals |
| Narrative | story-driven, scripted, sound-designed | highest production cost; script before you record |
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

podcast is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (74 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 3,309 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
