Brigade is an ecosystem for running crews of AI agents as a personal intelligence system, with local handling of credentials and support for exposing agent crews to the internet for testing. It is for people who want to organize and operate multiple AI agents using their own API keys or existing Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude Code, or Codex access. The catalogue skills provide workflows for using Brigade and its agent ecosystem.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00455 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00228 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
openai-whisper-api 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 8d 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.
"requires": { "bins": ["curl"], "env": ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] }, What it actually says
OpenAI Whisper API (curl)
Transcribe an audio file via OpenAI’s /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint. Set OPENAI_BASE_URL to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway.
Quick start
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a
Defaults:
- Model:
whisper-1 - Output:
<input>.txt
Useful flags
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.ogg --model whisper-1 --out /tmp/transcript.txt
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --language en
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --prompt "Speaker names: Peter, Daniel"
{baseDir}/scripts/transcribe.sh /path/to/audio.m4a --json --out /tmp/transcript.json
API key
Set OPENAI_API_KEY, or configure it in the active Brigade config file ($BRIGADE_CONFIG_PATH, default ~/.brigade/brigade.json). Optionally set OPENAI_BASE_URL (for example http://127.0.0.1:51805/v1) to use an OpenAI-compatible proxy or local gateway:
{
skills: {
"openai-whisper-api": {
apiKey: "OPENAI_KEY_HERE",
},
},
}
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

openai-whisper-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository spinabot/brigade (3,419 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 455 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
