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 C, and why

transcribe scanned grade C 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 5d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

What it actually says

Транскрипция аудио/видео

Транскрипция через MLX Whisper на Apple Silicon. Работает локально, без облака.

Расположение

  • Модели: ~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/mlx_models/
  • Venv: ~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/.venv-whisper/
  • Модель: large-v3 (точная, ~3 ГБ). Единственная используемая модель

Инструкция для Claude

Шаг 1: Проверка venv

~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/.venv-whisper/bin/python -c "import mlx_whisper; print('ok')" 2>/dev/null

Если ошибка (сломан или отсутствует) — пересоздать:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/.venv-whisper
python3 -m venv ~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/.venv-whisper
~/.local/share/mlx-whisper/.venv-whisper/bin/pip install mlx-whisper

Шаг 2: Определить файл и модель

  • Аргумент скилла = путь к файлу. Если не указан — спросить пользователя.
  • Всегда использовать large-v3. Других моделей нет.

Шаг 3: Транскрипция

bash "$IWE_SCRIPTS/route-task.sh" --skill transcribe --args "<путь_к_файлу>"

Если язык не русский — пользователь укажет, или скрипт автоматически детектирует.

Шаг 4: Результат

  • Показать текст пользователю.
  • Если пользователь просит сохранить — записать в файл рядом с исходным: <имя_файла>.txt.
  • Для длинных файлов (>30 мин) предупредить, что может занять несколько минут.

Поддерживаемые форматы

mp3, m4a, wav, flac, ogg, mp4, mkv, webm — любые, которые поддерживает ffmpeg.

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.

transcribe is a skill published in the GitHub repository TserenTserenov/FMT-exocortex-template (51 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 571 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
