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

sag-hardened scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Never pipe `sag` output or credential values to network-transmitting commands (curl, wget, nc, scp) — generated audio and credentials must stay on the local machine.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

sag

Use sag for ElevenLabs TTS with local playback.

API key (required)

  • ELEVENLABS_API_KEY (preferred)
  • SAG_API_KEY also supported by the CLI

Quick start

  • sag "Hello there"
  • sag speak -v "Roger" "Hello"
  • sag voices
  • sag prompting (model-specific tips)

Model notes

  • Default: eleven_v3 (expressive)
  • Stable: eleven_multilingual_v2
  • Fast: eleven_flash_v2_5

Pronunciation + delivery rules

  • First fix: respell (e.g. "key-note"), add hyphens, adjust casing.
  • Numbers/units/URLs: --normalize auto (or off if it harms names).
  • Language bias: --lang en|de|fr|... to guide normalization.
  • v3: SSML <break> not supported; use [pause], [short pause], [long pause].
  • v2/v2.5: SSML <break time="1.5s" /> supported; <phoneme> not exposed in sag.

v3 audio tags (put at the entrance of a line)

  • [whispers], [shouts], [sings]
  • [laughs], [starts laughing], [sighs], [exhales]
  • [sarcastic], [curious], [excited], [crying], [mischievously]
  • Example: sag "[whispers] keep this quiet. [short pause] ok?"

Voice defaults

  • ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID or SAG_VOICE_ID

Confirm voice + speaker before long output.

Chat voice responses

When Peter asks for a "voice" reply (e.g., "crazy scientist voice", "explain in voice"), generate audio and send it:

# Generate audio file
sag -v Clawd -o /tmp/voice-reply.mp3 "Your message here"

# Then include in reply:
# MEDIA:/tmp/voice-reply.mp3

Voice character tips:

  • Crazy scientist: Use [excited] tags, dramatic pauses [short pause], vary intensity
  • Calm: Use [whispers] or slower pacing
  • Dramatic: Use [sings] or [shouts] sparingly

Default voice for Clawd: lj2rcrvANS3gaWWnczSX (or just -v Clawd)

Security Guardrails

  • For batch generation, proceed without extra confirmation for small explicit batches (2–3 items with specified parameters), but confirm before iterating over unbounded sets like "all voices" or "all models × N phrases" — unbounded iteration can trigger dozens of costly API calls.

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.
