    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

fish-audio 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 11d 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.

Fish Audio TTS

Generate expressive audio clips using the Fish Audio S2 TTS API with [bracket] emotion tags.

Overview

This skill lets you create audio clips on demand — narration, announcements, podcast intros, dramatic readings, voice memos, or any spoken content. Uses Fish Audio S2 Pro with the full bracket syntax for emotional expressiveness.

Configuration

  • API Endpoint: https://api.fish.audio/v1/tts
  • Model: s2-pro
  • Voice Reference ID: Configured via assistant config get services.tts.providers.fish-audio.referenceId
  • API Key: Stored as credential fish-audio/api_key
  • Default Format: mp3 at 192kbps
  • Default Output Directory: scratch/

API Key Setup

The Fish Audio API key must be stored securely via the credential store. Get an API key from the Fish Audio dashboard at https://fish.audio.

Check if the key is already configured:

assistant credentials inspect --service fish-audio --field api_key --json

If not set, collect it securely (never ask the user to paste it in chat):

assistant credentials prompt --service fish-audio --field api_key \
  --label "Fish Audio API Key" \
  --placeholder "sk-..." \
  --description "Enter your Fish Audio API key"

Generating a Single Clip

Use bash with curl to call the Fish Audio API:

curl -s -X POST "https://api.fish.audio/v1/tts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(assistant credentials reveal --service fish-audio --field api_key)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "model: s2-pro" \
  -d '{
    "text": "YOUR TEXT WITH [bracket] TAGS HERE",
    "reference_id": "'"$(assistant config get services.tts.providers.fish-audio.referenceId)"'",
    "format": "mp3",
    "mp3_bitrate": 192,
    "temperature": 0.8
  }' --output scratch/OUTPUT_FILENAME.mp3

Important: This API call requires network access. Always use network_mode: proxied when running this command.

Generating Multiple Clips & Combining

For longer pieces (narrations, multi-part messages), generate each clip separately then combine with ffmpeg:

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.
