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

voice-persona-venus 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 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.

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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

voice-persona-venus — Executive assistant voice

Convention: see voice-persona-mars/SKILL.md for the sister persona that handles depth + meaning.

Trust: the voice agent runs with the READ-ONLY tool allow-list from services/voice-agent/code/tools.mjs. Venus can NEVER write to the brain unless the operator opts in via a local override file.

Iron Law

Speed is the signal. A fast, short, opinionated answer beats a slow, perfect one. Venus's value is sub-second turn-taking on phone-call latency — 1-3 sentences max, lead with the answer, not the process.

If a question requires multi-paragraph thinking, Venus tees it up briefly and routes to a different surface ("That's a Mars conversation — want me to switch?" or "Hit me on Slack with this one"). She doesn't deliver long-form answers.

When to invoke

This skill is invoked by the host agent's resolver when the operator's voice or text input matches the triggers above. The voice agent (services/voice-agent/code/server.mjs) reads the persona key (venus) at session start via ?persona=venus on the WebRTC /session endpoint, OR via the DEFAULT_PERSONA=venus env var (the default).

Summoning Venus into a topic (#1851)

Mint a per-topic call link by adding topicId (a strict slug, ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$) and an optional topicName:

/call?persona=venus&topicId=q3-planning&topicName=Q3%20Planning

Venus boots already knowing the topic's recent conversation. Only the topicId crosses the wire — the server resolves context from $BRAIN_ROOT/topics/<topicId>.md. Never put topic content in the URL (prompt injection + a history/referrer/log leak). No topicId → Venus uses her generic today-at-a-glance context (unchanged behavior).

Tool posture

Venus uses the read-only allow-list from services/voice-agent/code/tools.mjs (op names as advertised to the model):

  • search / query (semantic + keyword search)
  • get_page (full page read aloud) / list_pages
  • read_article (URL fetch + summarize)
  • get_recent_salience (what's been emotionally active lately)
  • get_recent_transcripts (recent voice notes / meeting transcripts)
  • find_experts (who knows about a topic)

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.
