What is OperaGenerator CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for an AI system that creates complete multimedia operas using Java, language models, image generation and speech synthesis. They document the project's technology choices and important model details.

Maintaining or extending opera creation, scene writing, illustrations, narration, formatted libretti and generated reviews.

They give a coding agent the context needed to work with the project's Java features, AI services, image data and audio output correctly.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02428	$0.02428
Opus 5.5	$0.00971	$0.00971
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00486	$0.00486
Haiku 4.5	$0.00243	$0.00243

Security

Grade A, and why

OperaGenerator CLAUDE.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 2mo 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.

Claude Assistant Context

This document provides context for Claude when working on the Opera Generator project.

Project Overview

This is an AI-powered opera generation system built with Java 21 and LangChain4j 1.10.0. The system creates complete multimedia operas by:

Using GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus 4.5 to alternately write scenes
Generating illustrations with Google's Gemini Nano Banana (gemini-3-pro-image-preview)
Creating dramatic voice narration with ElevenLabs text-to-speech
Playing audio with JLayer for live demonstrations
Creating formatted libretti with embedded images and automatic stanza formatting
Generating critical reviews with Google Gemini 3 Pro

Key Technical Details

Java 21 Features Used

Virtual threads for concurrent image generation
Records for domain modeling (Opera and Scene)
Pattern matching in switch expressions
Text blocks for multi-line strings

Important Model Information

Gemini Nano Banana (gemini-3-pro-image-preview): Returns binary image data in response parts, requires GOOGLE_API_KEY and Pro account
Image generation: Uses Google GenAI SDK (com.google.genai:google-genai:1.36.0) with Client pattern
Rate limiting: Max 2 concurrent image requests with 1-second delays to avoid API throttling (configurable)
Chat Models: GPT-5.2 (OpenAI), Claude Opus 4.5 (Anthropic), Gemini 3 Pro/Flash (Google)
ElevenLabs: Uses HttpClient for API calls, streams audio directly to files
Voice IDs: Bella (narrator) and Antoni (critic) for different character voices

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.
