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

create-speech-recording 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 21d 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.

Create Speech Recording

Agent Voice works best in English. For another supported language, choose a matching voice with agent-voice voices and pass --voice and --lang.

Prepare

Set RESPONSE_AS_TEXT to the text's spoken form.

  • Use speech-ready plain text, not serialized text. Convert literal \n, \r, \t, &#x20;, &#32;, and &nbsp; to normal spacing. To discuss one intentionally, write its spoken form, such as "backslash n".

  • For supplied text, preserve every word and punctuation mark in order while translating presentation syntax into speech.

  • For a requested summary or explanation, write natural speech with the same meaning.

  • For tables, state the headers once and read each row as labeled values.

Record

agent-voice speak "$RESPONSE_AS_TEXT"

For long text, create a unique file in the system temporary directory. The operating system handles cleanup.

agent-voice speak --label "$LABEL" < "$RESPONSE_AS_TEXT_FILE"

Set LABEL to a short subject. For an exact requested filename, replace --label "$LABEL" with --output "$PATH".

Use the returned path to deliver the recording. For speaker playback, add -p; continue after the result reports playback.state: "started". Add --play-after SECONDS to schedule it without blocking.

Deliver

Use default.md immediately after speak returns a receipt with generation.state: "started"

Remote delivery

Remote delivery requires Agent Voice 0.10.0 or newer. Run agent-voice update if an installed version does not recognize --viewer-base-url.

When delivery.browser_url uses HTTPS, or generation runs on another machine, return the HTTPS player URL as [Listen](URL). This takes precedence over the local delivery examples. Local file paths and desktop controls refer to the generating machine; omit them from remote delivery. Do not use -p to play on that machine unless the user asks. A localhost URL needs a configured private proxy and agent-voice config --viewer-base-url HTTPS_ORIGIN before remote delivery works.

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.
