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

lyria 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/lyria.py, scripts/test_lyria.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Lyria Music Generation Skill

Generate high-fidelity 44.1 kHz stereo audio, full songs with structured lyrics, instrumental soundtracks, and thematic compositions from text prompts or visual reference images using Google's Lyria 3 foundation models (lyria-3-clip-preview and lyria-3-pro-preview).


Available scripts

  • scripts/lyria.py: CLI tool for text-to-music and image-to-music generation, lyric export, and audio format conversion.
  • scripts/test_lyria.py: Test suite verifying Lyria argument parsing and multimodal input limit enforcement.

Trigger Conditions

Activate this skill whenever the user asks to:

  • Generate music, songs, soundtracks, game audio beds, or background music.
  • Compose musical themes inspired by artwork, concept photos, or screenshots.
  • Create 30-second audio loops or multi-minute structured songs with verses, choruses, and custom lyrics.
  • Synthesize instrumental audio tracks ("Instrumental only, no vocals").

Model Selection & Comparison Matrix

Model Model ID CLI Name Primary Use Case Duration Audio Format Reference Guide
Lyria 3 Clip lyria-3-clip-preview clip Short clips, loops, previews, rapid style testing Exactly 30s MP3, WAV lyria-3-clip.md
Lyria 3 Pro lyria-3-pro-preview pro Full songs, multi-section arrangements, film scoring Up to 184s MP3, WAV lyria-3-pro.md

Model Selection Guide

  • Rapid Prototyping: Start with Lyria 3 Clip (clip) to iterate quickly on genre combinations, tempos, and instrumentation.
  • Full Song Production: Select Lyria 3 Pro (pro) when requiring timestamped transitions ([0:00 - 0:15] Intro...), multi-verse vocal delivery, or multi-minute thematic development.

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.
