Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00018 | $0.00198 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00099 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00040 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
openai-whisper 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 6d 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to openai-whisper — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Whisper (CLI)
Use whisper to transcribe audio locally.
Quick start
whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt
Notes
- Models download to
~/.cache/whisperon first run. --modeldefaults toturboon this install.- Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

openai-whisper is a skill published in the GitHub repository zai-org/Synapse (468 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 198 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to openai-whisper, differing in 21 lines, and is treated as a copy.
