sound-sync-license-economics

sound-sync-license-economics is a command for Claude Code from frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,646 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A music licensing analysis command for comparing the money, rights, duration, location, exclusivity, and reuse terms in a proposed placement. A sync license allows music to be used with video, while a master-use license covers the specific recording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review proposed sync deals, compare them with similar placements when information exists, and prepare a counter-proposal for attorney review.
Why use it?
It makes the trade-offs in a music deal visible and avoids agreeing to vague rights language or unlimited use without suitable pricing.

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

sound-sync-license-economics 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 9d 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.

Produce a License Economics Audit — trade analysis + comparable-placement reference + counter-proposal recommendation. Hand off to rights-pack on agreement.

Disclaimer (non-waivable)

License economics is system-architecture analysis, NOT legal counsel and NOT financial advice. Every specific term requires sign-off from the practitioner's qualified music attorney before signature. Specific dollar amounts in comparable placements vary widely by year, market, and undisclosed factors — directional only.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Process

  1. Disclaim. Non-waivable opener.
  2. Read upstream. Brief-fit verdict (PROCEED) and placement thesis (track list) required.
  3. Map proposed deal terms. Sync fee, master-use fee (sometimes folded), publishing share, term, territory, exclusivity, MFN clauses, re-use options.
  4. Sync fee analysis. What does the proposed fee compare to for placement type? Direction-cited public data: TV indie cable placement (low four figures); major-network primetime (mid-five figures); major film (variable per scene); commercial campaign (variable per usage). Flag if proposed fee is below directional range; flag rationale (lower fee may be acceptable when exclusivity is none + term is short + practitioner gains supervisor relationship).
  5. Term analysis. Perpetuity costs more per dollar of placement fee but compounds badly if placement underperforms. Limited terms (1-7 years) preserve future flexibility. If perpetuity proposed without exclusivity-pricing reflecting it, flag.
  6. Territory analysis. Worldwide costs more than named-region. If territory worldwide proposed at named-region pricing, flag.
  7. Exclusivity analysis. None (any-other-placement allowed) / category-exclusive (no other automotive sync, etc.) / period-exclusive (no other syncs for N months) / fully-exclusive (no other placements). Each reduces practitioner's other-placement opportunities; pricing must reflect.
  8. MFN clause check. If multiple parties licensed in package deal, MFN ensures practitioner gets at least same rate as any other party. Recommend MFN inclusion when package deal.
  9. Re-use options. Does placement permit re-use in DVD / streaming / sequel / ad-extension without further license? At what additional fee? Document.
  10. Comparable-placement reference. Pull from prior license-economics records (if any) where comparable placements exist. Cite directionally; never quote specific deal numbers without explicit consent from prior practitioners.
  11. Counter-proposal recommendation. Per axis where proposed terms are below market: named counter (specific fee adjustment, term adjustment, territory adjustment, exclusivity-vs-fee trade). Counter-proposals respect vision-boundary; never recommend trading vision for fee.
  12. Save. Write to sound-intelligence/sync/license-economics-<brief-slug>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md.
  13. Hand off. Name exactly one next move:
    • Counsel review needed → route to practitioner's music attorney with this audit.
    • Counter-proposal accepted → /sound-sync-rights-pack (delivery package).
    • Negotiation deadlocked → walk-away analysis (compare expected revenue vs. opportunity cost).

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.
