A guide for writing words meant to be heard rather than silently read. It covers longer spoken pieces such as stories, poems, audio drama scenes, voice messages, and scripts for voice-generation tools.

It is for writing read-aloud scripts, bedtime pieces, poems, voice notes, audio drama, and text containing ElevenLabs audio tags.

Writing for listening needs different pacing and sentence structure from ordinary prose. This guide helps keep the spoken script clear and preserves the intended content when preparing audio.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00131	$0.01858
Opus 5.5	$0.00052	$0.00743
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00372
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00186

Security

Grade A, and why

read-aloud 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 17d 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.

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.
