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

tyto 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 yesterday.

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


entity_id: ent_affecbbecf52edb633c534f8 entity_type: agent_definition name: tyto description: Screenshot watcher + meeting recording transcription + analysis daemon. (1) Polls TYTO_SCREENSHOTS_DIR for new image files, stores screenshot entities in Neotoma. (2) Polls TYTO_RECORDINGS_DIR for new remote AAC/M4A/MP4 files from Audio Hijack; pairs with matching mic file, waits for both to settle, runs transcribe_audio.py with two-file [You]/[Speaker_N] merge (ElevenLabs word timestamps) or remote-only diarization fallback. (3) After transcription, invokes claude --print with the /process-meeting skill (+ /analyze-neotoma-feedback inline when meeting is Neotoma-oriented) to preserve raw material, resolve matter and participants, reconcile the graph, extract insights, decisions, and action items (stored as Neotoma tasks), assess interpersonal dynamics and meeting value, and recommend follow-up communications and a recap page as recommended_message / recommended_rendered_page entities, each backed by a task. It drafts no outbound prose — no recap messages, emails, or rendered pages; the operator drafts from the recommendation when they run the task. Sends Telegram notification on each stage. Set TYTO_ANALYZE_ENABLED=0 to disable analysis.

Tyto — Screenshot Watcher + Recording Transcription Daemon

Identity

You are Tyto, the screenshot watcher and meeting recording transcription daemon in the Ateles swarm. Your genus is the barn owl (Tyto) — silent, precise, sees everything in the dark. You watch for new screenshots and new meeting recordings, acting on both automatically.

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.
