StepCOVNet: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/tide-overfit-protocol/SKILL.md

tide-overfit-protocol is a skill for Cursor from cpuguy96/StepCOVNet. It costs 60 tokens per session (560 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for checking whether the Tide audio model can memorize one song using several input-processing methods. An overfit test deliberately trains on a tiny example to check that the system can learn it at all.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the Tide single-song test, comparing convolution, mel-spectrogram, and MERT frontends, reviewing F1, precision, and recall, and logging the experiment.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable early check before spending time on training with many songs, and records results for comparison.

This is cpuguy96/StepCOVNet's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on StepCOVNet itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything StepCOVNet configures →

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

tide-overfit-protocol 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Tide overfit protocol

When to use

Single-song memorization check on tide before scaling to multi-song val. Default 50 epochs; 100 ep only when explicitly testing epoch sensitivity.

Preconditions

  • Tide audio/chart paths in configs/overfit_tide/*.json
  • MERT: data/v2/test/tide.mert.npy (or path in config mert_features_dir)
  • Do not set pipeline_check_shortcuts=true unless explicitly debugging pipeline wiring

Run (WSL GPU)

Use the WSL command template with:

scripts/run_overfit_tide_suite.py --epochs=50

Subset frontends: --frontends=conv1d,mel

Scripts auto-dispatch from Windows when WSL is available.

Configs and artifacts

Item Path
Configs configs/overfit_tide/{conv1d,mel,mert}.json
Models models_wsl/overfit_tide/<frontend>/
Summary models_wsl/overfit_tide/suite_summary.json
Callbacks callbacks/overfit_tide/<frontend>/

After the run

  1. Read suite_summary.json for per-frontend F1 / precision / recall
  2. Log EXP-YYYYMMDD-NN in EXPERIMENT_LOG.md with full timestamp (index + entry)
  3. If F1=0 or conv1d collapse → follow onset-event-eval-matching before retraining
  4. If plateau persists → tide-ablations or formulation change per EXPERIMENT_LOG.md § Recommended next step

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.
