songsee

songsee is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from braxtonROSE4/zorro-agent. It costs 45 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of songsee, MIT.

A command-line tool that turns audio files into spectrograms and other visual charts showing features such as pitch, loudness, tempo, and frequency changes. A spectrogram is an image showing how sound frequencies change over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create spectrograms, mel-frequency charts, pitch-class views, loudness and tempo plots, self-similarity images, and other audio feature visualizations.
Why use it?
It makes the structure of an audio recording visible, which can help investigate sound, compare recordings, or document music-production results. It can also render selected time ranges and multiple charts together.

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

songsee 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to songsee — 5 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

songsee

Generate spectrograms and multi-panel audio feature visualizations from audio files.

Prerequisites

Requires Go:

go install github.com/steipete/songsee/cmd/songsee@latest

Optional: ffmpeg for formats beyond WAV/MP3.

Quick Start

# Basic spectrogram
songsee track.mp3

# Save to specific file
songsee track.mp3 -o spectrogram.png

# Multi-panel visualization grid
songsee track.mp3 --viz spectrogram,mel,chroma,hpss,selfsim,loudness,tempogram,mfcc,flux

# Time slice (start at 12.5s, 8s duration)
songsee track.mp3 --start 12.5 --duration 8 -o slice.jpg

# From stdin
cat track.mp3 | songsee - --format png -o out.png

Visualization Types

Use --viz with comma-separated values:

Type Description
spectrogram Standard frequency spectrogram
mel Mel-scaled spectrogram
chroma Pitch class distribution
hpss Harmonic/percussive separation
selfsim Self-similarity matrix
loudness Loudness over time
tempogram Tempo estimation
mfcc Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients
flux Spectral flux (onset detection)

Multiple --viz types render as a grid in a single image.

Common Flags

Flag Description
--viz Visualization types (comma-separated)
--style Color palette: classic, magma, inferno, viridis, gray
--width / --height Output image dimensions
--window / --hop FFT window and hop size
--min-freq / --max-freq Frequency range filter
--start / --duration Time slice of the audio
--format Output format: jpg or png
-o Output file path

Notes

  • WAV and MP3 are decoded natively; other formats require ffmpeg
  • Output images can be inspected with vision_analyze for automated audio analysis
  • Useful for comparing audio outputs, debugging synthesis, or documenting audio processing pipelines

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.
