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

video scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 18d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Trigger

Auto-triggered when a media URL is detected:

  • YouTube: youtube.com, youtu.be
  • Bilibili: bilibili.com, b23.tv
  • X/Twitter: x.com, twitter.com (tweets with video)
  • Xiaoyuzhou: xiaoyuzhoufm.com
  • Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com
  • Direct: .mp3, .mp4, .m3u8, .m4a, .webm

Pipeline

Step 0: Detect Media Type

URL Pattern Type Pipeline
xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/ Podcast → Step 1b (Xiaoyuzhou)
podcasts.apple.com Podcast → Step 1c (Apple)
bilibili.com, b23.tv Video → Step 1d (Bilibili API)
.mp3, .m4a direct link Audio → Step 2b (direct download)
Other Video → Step 1a (subtitle extraction)

Step 1a: Video — Extract Subtitles

# Clean up temp files
rm -f /tmp/media_sub*.vtt /tmp/media_audio.mp3 /tmp/media_transcript*.json /tmp/media_segment_*.mp3 2>/dev/null || true

# YouTube (prefer English, fallback Chinese)
yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "en,zh-Hans" -o "/tmp/media_sub" "VIDEO_URL"

# Bilibili
yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-sub --sub-lang "zh-Hans,zh" -o "/tmp/media_sub" "VIDEO_URL"

Check for subtitles:

ls /tmp/media_sub*.vtt 2>/dev/null
  • Has subtitles → Read VTT content, skip to Step 3
  • No subtitles → Step 2a (download audio)

Step 1b: Xiaoyuzhou (小宇宙) — Extract Audio URL

# Extract CDN direct link from __NEXT_DATA__
# Xiaoyuzhou is a Next.js SPA, but initial HTML contains audio URL in __NEXT_DATA__
AUDIO_URL=$(curl -sL -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36" \
  "EPISODE_URL" \
  | grep -oE 'https://media\.xyzcdn\.net/[^"]+\.(m4a|mp3)' \
  | head -1)

echo "Audio URL: $AUDIO_URL"

# Download audio
curl -L -o /tmp/media_audio.mp3 "$AUDIO_URL"

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.
