Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00006 | $0.00111 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00056 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00022 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00011 |
Grade A, and why
speak-auto scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Run exactly this one bash command and show the user its output:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --auto $ARGUMENTS
If the user gave no argument, ask whether they want auto-read on or off
instead of guessing. Warning to relay when turning it on: replies arrive
frequently — most people prefer on-demand /speak after trying auto for a day.
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.

speak-auto is a skill published in the GitHub repository MichaelPGifford/claude-read-aloud (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 111 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

mode-interactive
The interactive implementation posture (/foundry:mode-interactive) — the default lean direct loop. The operator drives edit→verify→merge in one accountable context; the operator reviews the diff at the merge button (the Regular-mode segregation). Sibling of mode-autonomous; they differ ONLY at the two ends (who paces…
familiar-help
Use familiar companion tools for creative buddy/companion interactions. Handles fortunes, code roasts, haiku, stats, mood, lore, focus timers, and personality changes. Triggers when user addresses their companion by any name — "buddy" (Anthropic's UI label), "familiar", "companion", or whatever name the user uses for…
spell-schedule
Schedule a moflo spell to run on the local machine via the moflo daemon (cron, interval, or one-time). Use when the user wants to schedule, automate, or recurringly run one of THEIR spells locally — e.g. "schedule the oap spell every hour", "run my audit spell every weekday at 9am", "fire X once tomorrow morning".…
task-copilot
Use when work should be tracked with tc, including creating PRDs, tasks, handoffs, logs, and work products, or when preserving detailed outputs outside the chat context.
git-workflow
Use when starting feature work that needs a branch, creating worktrees for isolation, making atomic commits during development, or completing a development branch via merge, PR, preserve, or discard. Also use when the user says "set up worktree", "create PR", "finish this branch", "start feature", or when you need an…
ccc-spawn
Click-first spawn hub — spin isolated work into its own session on demand: a spawntask chip in Cowork, a /spawn peer in the CLI. Also routes to $ccc-fleet or $ccc-relay.
