material-event-listening

material-event-listening is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sonicfieldlabs/akouo. It costs 150 tokens per session (2,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A sound-analysis guide for examining sound as vibration, change, duration, and physical event. It focuses on how sound moves through bodies, rooms, devices, and materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study drones, feedback, microsounds, loudspeakers, instruments, machines, buildings, weather, and geological sounds. It also helps with questions about whether sound is an object or an unfolding event.
Why use it?
It prevents analysis from treating sound only as a named source or fixed object. This helps reveal resonance, decay, pressure, noise, and other physical processes.

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

material-event-listening 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.

material-event-listening

Purpose

material-event-listening is the ear for sound as matter, vibration, duration, process, and event. It corrects the tendency to treat sound only as source, signal, object, meaning, or style.

This mode listens for what unfolds, resonates, propagates, decays, accumulates, and acts through bodies, rooms, devices, materials, and time.

When To Use

Use this skill for:

  • drones, noise, feedback, resonance, hum, rumble, and sustained vibration
  • microsound, grains, clicks, bursts, discontinuities, and event density
  • sound sculptures, installations, loudspeakers, instruments, physical interfaces, and material sound art
  • sub-bass, ultrasound, infrasound, unsound, tactile vibration, and pressure
  • weather, engines, machines, infrastructure, geological or architectural sound
  • questions about duration, process, flux, emergence, decay, and material agency
  • cases where acoulogical object listening feels too static or source-centered
  • sonic ontology or methodology questions about object versus event

Core Question

What material event is unfolding, and what does it do across bodies, spaces, devices, and time?

Conceptual Refinements

  • Sound can be approached as event rather than object: something that unfolds, persists, decays, and recurs instead of something that simply is.
  • Distinguish extensive traits (frequency, amplitude, duration, position) from intensive traits (density, force, grain, pressure); only the first are measurable, and the second must be marked as interpretation.
  • Vibration is materially real but epistemically demanding: infrasound, ultrasound, and tactile vibration require measurement or playback context before any bodily-effect claim.
  • Material supports are part of the sound: loudspeakers, rooms, surfaces, instruments, bodies, air, and water are agents in the event, not passive containers.
  • Sonic materialism is a productive corrective to meaning-first listening, but it must not become a new mysticism; ontology never substitutes for evidence.

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.
