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

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 9d 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.

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.
  • vivadicta on $PATH (install via brew 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. Default N=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. --all includes hidden.
  • vivadicta tags - list user tags + source tags with counts.
  • vivadicta modes [--all] - list Viva Modes (app-/URL-aware profiles). --all includes 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-run prints 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; --async returns a job UUID.
  • vivadicta job <uuid> - single-shot status check for a job from transcribe --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.
