Parfii-bot 0398c9ca05 refactor(blocks): update kit-agent handoff refs to kei- prefix in 5 blocks
Caught in Phase-2 double-audit pass AFTER commits 1-5 were already
pushed: top-level _blocks/*.md contains prose handoff references to
"cost-guardian" that get composed into generated agent .md files.
These were missed by the skills/manifests sweep because blocks weren't
in the original task spec list (only fixture _blocks/ were mentioned,
and those are separate).

Impact if left unfixed: any project-specialist created via /new-agent
with Q3=Yes (paid APIs) or Q7!=None (scrapers) would compose these
blocks and emit a generated .md referencing the stale `cost-guardian`
handoff target — a dangling reference after the kei-* rename.

Files touched (10 references, all to `cost-guardian`):
- _blocks/api-apify.md          (1)
- _blocks/api-elevenlabs.md     (2)
- _blocks/api-fal-ai.md         (2)
- _blocks/domain-paid-apis.md   (2)
- _blocks/scraper-paid-tier.md  (3)

Verify: cargo test -> 17/17 still green (fixture _blocks/ isolated
from top-level _blocks/, so no snapshot drift).

API — ElevenLabs (voice)

Live pricing: WebFetch https://elevenlabs.io/pricing before any bulk run [VERIFY: character pricing tier varies by plan].

MANDATORY 3-step Voice Design flow (order is fixed):

  1. designVoice — describe voice characteristics (gender, age, accent, style) → returns preview audio + generated_voice_id (ephemeral).
  2. createVoice — accept the preview → permanent voice_id added to library.
  3. TTS — synthesize text using the permanent voice_id.

Skipping or reordering any step = API error. Ephemeral preview IDs expire — cannot TTS directly from designVoice output.

Models:

Model Use case Latency Quality
eleven_flash_v2_5 Real-time, low latency (~75ms) Fastest Good
eleven_multilingual_v2 Production, 29 languages Slower Best
eleven_turbo_v2_5 Balanced Fast High

Pricing [VERIFY: check live pricing page] — billed per character, plan-gated character quota:

  • Free: ~10K chars/mo
  • Starter: ~30K chars/mo
  • Creator / Pro / Scale — higher quotas, character overage rates vary per plan.
  • Voice Design calls also consume characters (preview audio counts).

TTS params (sane defaults):

  • stability: 0.5 — higher = more monotone, lower = more expressive (range 0-1)
  • similarity_boost: 0.75 — higher = closer to reference voice
  • style: 0-1 — emotional exaggeration; set 0 for Flash v2 (not supported)
  • use_speaker_boost: true for Multilingual v2

Voice ID caching: once createVoice returns a voice_id, store it in memory/{project}.md or DB. Reuse across TTS calls — re-designing the same voice = wasted characters + non-deterministic result.

Video integration (if pairing with a video model that supports voice): voice_id flows into the video model's voice_ids payload. Per-speaker markers in prompts ONLY when voice_ids actually sent.

Cost tracking: log per-call characters_used + cumulative month-to-date → memory/{project}.md. Hand off to kei-cost-guardian on any batch expected to exceed 50% of monthly quota.

Forbidden: calling TTS without prior createVoice (ephemeral preview IDs fail); exceeding plan character quota without kei-cost-guardian check (overage billing surprise); committing voice_id values into git when they reference private/cloned voices (storage convention — see domain-has-secrets.md); re-designing the same voice per-scene instead of caching voice_id; skipping the 3-step flow with direct TTS on generated_voice_id.
