Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00048 | $0.01756 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00702 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00351 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00176 |
Grade A, and why
vivadicta-cli-usage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
vivadicta cli usage
Use this skill when you need to run or design a vivadicta command. Covers canonical flags, output formats, env vars, exit codes, and the full subcommand map.
Preconditions
- VivaDicta.app installed at
/Applications/VivaDicta.app. vivadictaon$PATH(install viabrew install n0an/tap/vivadicta).- UI app running is only required for write commands (
rewrite,transcribe,job). Reads work standalone.
Command discovery
Prefer --help over guessing:
vivadicta --help
vivadicta search --help
vivadicta transcribe --help
--help is authoritative. This skill lists the common shape; anything finer-grained lives behind --help.
Subcommand map
All 11 subcommands, one line each.
Reads (no UI app required):
vivadicta recent [N]- last N transcriptions, newest first. DefaultN=10, capped at 50.vivadicta search <query>- full-text search. Filters:--since,--from/--to,--tag,--source,--mode,--limit(default 20, max 100),--full.vivadicta get <id-or-query>- one transcription. Accepts raw UUID, keyword (latest,last,most recent,newest,current), or natural-language query ("yesterday's call with sam"). Flags:--format plain|markdown(in-summary text),--all-variations.vivadicta presets [--all]- list AI rewrite presets.--allincludes hidden.vivadicta tags- list user tags + source tags with counts.vivadicta modes [--all]- list Viva Modes (app-/URL-aware profiles).--allincludes disabled.vivadicta vocab- list custom vocabulary words.vivadicta replacements [--all]- list post-transcription find-and-replace rules.
Writes (UI app must be running):
vivadicta rewrite <id-or-query> --preset <alias>- rewrite with an AI preset. Blocking.--dry-runprints plan without hitting the UI app.vivadicta transcribe <file-or-url> [--async]- transcribe an audio file or YouTube URL. Auto-routes:http(s)://→ URL,file:/// path /~//.// bare filename that resolves → file. Blocking default polls every 2 s until done;--asyncreturns a job UUID.vivadicta job <uuid>- single-shot status check for a job fromtranscribe --async.
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.
