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

youtube-music-cli-mcp-fork copilot-instructions.md 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 5d 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.

Copilot Instructions for youtube-music-cli

Quick Start

This is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) music player for YouTube Music, built with React and TypeScript using Ink for terminal rendering.

Key Commands:

bun run dev          # Start in watch mode (TypeScript compilation)
bun run build        # Compile TypeScript to dist/
bun run start        # Run compiled CLI binary
bun run lint:fix     # Fix linting and formatting issues
bun run test         # Run full test suite (formatting + linting + tests)

Architecture Overview

Entry Points

  • CLI Entry: source/cli.tsx - Parses CLI arguments with meow, handles direct commands (play, search, playlist)
  • App Root: source/app.tsxsource/main.tsx - Root React component that sets up providers
  • Compiled Binary: dist/source/cli.js (referenced in package.json bin field)

Core Layers

State Management (all follow the same pattern: Provider + useHook):

  • source/stores/player.store.tsx - Player state (playback, queue, volume, shuffle/repeat) with action-based reducers
  • source/stores/navigation.store.tsx - View navigation state
  • source/contexts/theme.context.tsx - Theme management

Services (abstraction over external dependencies):

  • source/services/youtube-music/ - Wrapper around node-youtube-music API for search and track lookup
  • source/services/player/ - Audio playback via play-sound
  • source/services/config/ - Configuration persistence (theme, volume settings)

Components (organized by feature, use Ink primitives: Box, Text, etc.):

source/components/
├── layouts/       # Main UI containers (PlayerLayout, SearchLayout, etc.)
├── player/        # Player-specific UI (PlayerControls, QueueList, etc.)
├── search/        # Search UI (SearchBar, SearchResults)
├── playlist/      # Playlist management UI
├── theme/         # Theme switching UI
└── common/        # Shared components (Help, ErrorBoundary, etc.)

Types (core domain models):

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.
