In plain words
What is it for?
Transcribing audio files, generating spoken audio with a preset voice and optional speed or emotion controls, and listing or managing local models.
Why use it?
It gives voice-related tasks a defined transcription, synthesis, and model-management workflow, including a fallback when the speech service is unavailable.

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

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 12d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Batch ASR / OminiX TTS / Model Management

Speech-to-text uses ASR_API_URL when configured (the Octos/OMiniX JSON + base64 batch-transcription contract at POST /v1/audio/transcriptions, such as the local Whisper or Nemotron adapter); otherwise it falls back to Qwen3 ASR through local OminiX. Preset-voice text-to-speech with emotion control and model lifecycle management remain backed by local OminiX (Apple Silicon).

An empty ASR result is a successful no-speech rejection, not an error.

Boundary — when NOT to use this skill

  • Voice cloning / custom voice profiles → use mofa-fm (fm_tts, fm_voice_save, fm_voice_list, fm_voice_delete). This skill is preset-voice only.
  • Emotion prompts in fallback mode → not supported. When ominix-api is unreachable, voice_synthesize falls through to the macOS built-in say command, which auto-picks a system voice from the text language and ignores the prompt parameter.

Tools

Tool Purpose
voice_transcribe ASR — WAV/OGG/MP3/FLAC/M4A → text
voice_synthesize Preset-voice TTS with optional emotion + speed
list_models List loaded + catalog models on the local ominix-api
download_model Pull a catalog model to local disk
load_model Load a downloaded model into GPU memory
unload_model Free a loaded model from GPU memory

Quick recipes

Transcribe a voice message

{"audio_path": "voice.ogg", "language": "Chinese"}

Synthesize plain speech

{"text": "Hello world", "language": "english", "speaker": "ryan"}

Synthesize with emotion

{"text": "我太开心了!", "speaker": "vivian", "prompt": "用兴奋激动的语气说话,充满热情和活力"}

After voice_synthesize returns a file path, deliver the audio with send_file.

Changes

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.
