About the project

StarNet is a local-first desktop harness for creating AI agents and arranging them in a pixel-art space station whose layout represents their capabilities, permissions, and workflow. It lets people run real model calls and tools through multiple bounded agents, using their own provider keys or accounts and optionally messaging the station through chat services. The catalogue entries are skills that extend or support work performed by StarNet agents.

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

songwriting 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.

Songwriting and AI Music Prompts

Everything here is a GUIDELINE, not a rule. Art breaks rules on purpose. Use what serves the song. Ignore what does not.

When to use

  • Writing a song or song lyrics.
  • Writing a prompt for an AI music tool (Suno and similar).
  • A parody, or new words to an existing tune.
  • Fixing lyrics that read well but sing badly.

The station has no music-generation tool. You deliver text: the lyrics and the prompts. The Commander pastes them into their music tool and tells you what came out. If the Commander has not said, ask for the subject, the feeling, the genre, who is singing, and the language.


1. Song structure (pick one or invent your own)

Common skeletons: mix, modify, or throw out as needed.

ABABCB  Verse/Chorus/Verse/Chorus/Bridge/Chorus    (most pop and rock)
AABA    Verse/Verse/Bridge/Verse (refrain-based)    (jazz standards, ballads)
ABAB    Verse/Chorus alternating                    (simple, direct)
AAA     Verse/Verse/Verse (strophic, no chorus)     (folk, storytelling)

The six building blocks:

  • Intro: set the mood, pull the listener in
  • Verse: the story, the details, the world-building
  • Pre-Chorus: optional tension ramp before the payoff
  • Chorus: the emotional core, the part people remember
  • Bridge: a detour, a shift in perspective or key
  • Outro: the farewell; can echo or subvert the rest

You do not need all of these. Some great songs are one section that evolves. Structure serves the emotion, not the other way around.


2. Rhyme, meter and sound

Rhyme types, from tight to loose:

  • Perfect: lean/mean
  • Family: crate/braid
  • Assonance: had/glass (same vowels, different endings)
  • Consonance: scene/when (different vowels, similar endings)
  • Near or slant: enough to suggest a connection without locking it down

Mix them. All perfect rhymes can sound like a nursery rhyme. All slant rhymes can sound lazy. The blend is where it lives.

Internal rhyme is rhyme inside a line, not only at the ends: in "the late train rolls through the rain again", train and rain chime before the line is over.

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.
