In plain words

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-studio 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 26d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/vsay.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

VoiceStudio

Synthesize spoken audio responses and play expressive speech locally via GPU.

Usage

# Speak in background (non-blocking, default: explainer voice, 1.1x speed, 24 steps)
vsay -b "Task completed successfully."

# Expressive speech with pauses and non-verbal tokens
vsay -b "[surprise-wa] Incredible! The benchmark finished... [breathing] and ran fast. [laughter]"

Flags

  • -b, --bg: Play in background without blocking caller.
  • -v <voice>: explainer (default), companion, enthusiast, narrator, radio, deep, or profile ID.
  • -s <float>: Speed multiplier (default: 1.1).
  • -N <int>: Diffusion steps (default: 24; 16 fast, 32 studio).
  • --cfg <float>: Guidance scale (default: 2.0).
  • -o <path>: Save WAV to target file.
  • --no-play: Generate audio without playing.
  • -l <code>: Language code (default: es).
  • -L, --list: List installed voice profiles.

Expressive Tokens & Prosody

Embed bracketed tokens for vocal inflections:

  • Reactions: [laughter], [surprise-wa], [surprise-ah], [sigh], [crying]
  • Hesitations & Feedback: [uhm], [confirmation-en], [dissatisfaction-hnn], [shh], [cough]
  • Questions: [question-en], [question-ah], [question-oh], [question-ei], [question-yi]

Pacing rules:

  1. Combine ... and [breathing] between clauses for natural breathing pauses.
  2. Use punctuation marks (!, ?, ¡, ¿) to shape expressive pitch contours.
  3. Place commas before conjunctions to induce realistic pitch dips.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.
