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 | $0.00010 | $0.00291 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00146 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
voice scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
If the user supplied an argument, treat it as a voice id: run step 3 with it.
- List what's available:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --list-voices
Show the result as a short readable list (label and id). If it's long, show the first ~20 and say how many more there are; offer to filter by name.
- When the user wants to hear one, audition it WITHOUT saving:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --detach --voice VOICE_ID --text "This is how I'd sound reading your replies."
Repeat for as many voices as they like.
- When they choose, save it and confirm in the new voice:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --set-voice VOICE_ID
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/speak.py" --detach --text "Voice saved. This is me from now on."
Voices belong to the current provider (see /read-aloud:speak-status). To
change provider, edit the config file it names — or /read-aloud:voice-setup
installs the free Kokoro voices.
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.

voice is a skill published in the GitHub repository MichaelPGifford/claude-read-aloud (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 291 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
