overcast-wiretap

overcast-wiretap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kdr/overcast. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,525 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for examining audio recordings already available in a case. It separates speakers, transcribes speech, describes background sounds, and compares voices or phrases across clips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transcribe calls or field recordings, identify speakers, inspect sounds such as traffic or announcements, examine spectrograms, isolate voices, and compare recordings.
Why use it?
It helps recover information from difficult recordings and use background sounds or repeated voices to connect evidence between clips.

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

overcast-wiretap 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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-wiretap

Use this skill to analyze audio recordings you already hold (a call, a voicemail, a field recording): how many people speak, what the background reveals about where it was recorded, and whether two clips share a voice or a phrase. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags.

Workflow

  1. Transcribe the recording and read its background scene on the default backend. --describe surfaces the whole audio scene (traffic, trains, a PA announcement, church bells) — the "enhance the background noise" move that places a recording — and is a tinycloud/Cloudglue multimodal feature, so do all the transcript/describe work FIRST, before binding any speech-only provider:
overcast doctor --json
overcast case init --json
overcast listen ./call.wav --json                 # speech transcript + time-anchored segments
overcast listen ./call.wav --describe --json       # background audio scene (tinycloud describe)
overcast view ./call.wav --spectrogram --json      # visual inspection artifact (tones, hums, edits)
  1. Isolate voices from noise and re-transcribe the cleaned track — a second pass often recovers words the first missed:
overcast enhance ./call.wav --ops voice-isolate,denoise --json   # bundled-ffmpeg filter (fast, lossy)
overcast enhance ./call.wav --ops separate --json                # true source separation → a track per speaker
                                                                 # (local pyannote: scripts/visual-db-uv.sh --voice + HF_TOKEN, or fal)
overcast listen <enhanced-record-id> --json
  1. Separate the speakers. --diarize needs a diarize-capable listen provider (the default tinycloud/Cloudglue listen is speech-transcript only and rejects --diarize). Bind ElevenLabs for this — but do it LAST, after the describe / multimodal steps above, because ElevenLabs Scribe is speech-only and drops the audio-scene describe:
overcast provider setup apply --verb listen --choice elevenlabs --yes --json
overcast listen ./call.wav --diarize --json        # -> <diarize-record-id> (speaker-labeled)

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.
