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

claude-music-cover 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 12d 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-music-cover — Cover/Style Transfer

Worked example (input → command → output)

User: "Turn this pop song into a jazz cover" (hands over ~/Music/my_song.flac)

Command:

bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/music_engine.sh \
  --quality standard \
  cover \
  --src-audio "$HOME/Music/my_song.flac" \
  --caption "smooth jazz, saxophone, piano trio, warm, live recording feel" \
  --cover-strength 0.5

Expected JSON on stdout:

{
  "success": true,
  "task_type": "cover",
  "model": "acestep-v15-turbo",
  "outputs": [
    {"path": "/home/$USER/Music/claude-music-output/cover_20260416_121040_01.flac",
     "seed": 4921, "size_mb": 2.47, "index": 1},
    {"path": "/home/$USER/Music/claude-music-output/cover_20260416_121040_02.flac",
     "seed": 81244, "size_mb": 2.52, "index": 2}
  ],
  "params": {
    "src_audio": "/home/$USER/Music/my_song.flac",
    "cover_strength": 0.5,
    "caption": "smooth jazz, saxophone, piano trio, warm, live recording feel"
  },
  "timing": {"generation_sec": 29.4},
  "count": 2
}

Note: --cover-strength maps to ACE-Step's cover_noise_strength (0.0 = fully reimagine source, 1.0 = stay close to source). The code passes src_audio + cover_noise_strength — the older reference_audio/audio_cover_strength field names are wrong and guarded by a regression test.

Pre-Flight

  1. Verify source audio exists: bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/preflight.sh "$SRC_AUDIO" "$OUTPUT"
  2. Check GPU: bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/detect_gpu.sh

Usage

# Jazz cover of a pop song
bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/music_engine.sh cover \
  --src-audio /path/to/original.mp3 \
  --caption "smooth jazz, saxophone, piano trio" \
  --cover-strength 0.5

# Same genre, different mood
bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/music_engine.sh cover \
  --src-audio song.flac \
  --caption "acoustic version, stripped back, intimate" \
  --cover-strength 0.7

# Complete reimagination
bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/music_engine.sh cover \
  --src-audio track.wav \
  --caption "electronic, synthwave, 80s retro" \
  --cover-strength 0.2

# Cover with new lyrics
bash ~/.claude/skills/claude-music/scripts/music_engine.sh cover \
  --src-audio original.mp3 \
  --caption "rock, electric guitar, powerful male vocal" \
  --lyrics "[Verse] New lyrics here..." \
  --cover-strength 0.5
