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

speak-response 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (qwen3-tts/clone.py, qwen3-tts/design.py, qwen3-tts/generate.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Speak Response

Vocalize text using local Qwen3-TTS. Default voice is the Oracle (cloned from a Dune narrator with deep, resonant, prophetic quality).

Quick Examples

Command Effect
/speak Last 2 sentences with Oracle voice
/speak 5 Last 5 sentences with Oracle voice
/speak "The sleeper must awaken." Specific text with Oracle voice
/speak --preset mood:warm Last 2 sentences with preset speaker + emotion
/speak --preset "Hello" speaker:Vivian voice:"nurturing" Preset speaker with custom voice

Default: Oracle Voice

The oracle voice is a deep, resonant, prophetic voice cloned from a Dune narrator. It speaks all text with a sense of ancient wisdom and gravitas.

# Default usage - Oracle voice
scripts/speak.sh "The spice must flow."
scripts/speak.sh "He who controls the spice controls the universe."

Limitation

The Oracle uses voice cloning (Base model), which does not support per-message instruction control. The voice characteristics are fixed. For emotion/mood control, use --preset.

Preset Speakers (--preset)

For emotion and mood control, use --preset to switch to CustomVoice with adjustable instructions:

scripts/speak.sh --preset "<text>" [speaker] [instruction]

Quick Preset Examples

# Calm therapeutic voice
scripts/speak.sh --preset "Take a deep breath." Vivian "calm, nurturing, gentle pace"

# Excited announcement
scripts/speak.sh --preset "We did it!" Ryan "joyful, excited, enthusiastic"

# Serious explanation
scripts/speak.sh --preset "This is important." Eric "serious, measured, emphatic"

Custom Voice Instructions

The model understands rich natural language descriptions:

Aspect Examples
Emotion joyful, melancholic, anxious, calm, excited, contemplative
Pace slow and deliberate, rapid and energetic, measured, hesitant
Intensity soft and gentle, loud and commanding, whispered, emphatic
Style warm and nurturing, professional, playful, dramatic
Prosody with dramatic pauses, rising intonation, emphatic on key words
