apollo-studio-tasks

apollo-studio-tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fomoPhil/uad-console-mcp. It costs 168 tokens per session (3,225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for operating Universal Audio Apollo studio equipment through an MCP server, a software connector that lets an agent interact with the studio system. It covers tracking, headphone mixes, and podcast or streaming setups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an Apollo setup, configure vocal or instrument recording channels, create performer cue mixes, and set up podcast or streaming audio.
Why use it?
It adds equipment-specific checks and safety rules, reducing the risk of incorrect routing, gain settings, monitor changes, or phantom-power use.

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

apollo-studio-tasks 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apollo studio tasks

Bottom line: read the rig, do one task at a time with the literal sequences below, and check verified on every write. Channel counts, monitor output indexes, cue bus counts and available plugins differ per rig. Discover them, never assume them.

Start every session with:

uad_get_status()
uad_list_channels(kind="input")

If safety.mode is readonly, say so up front: nothing can be changed. Exact tool and parameter names for everything below are in references/tools.md.

Etiquette rails (apply to every task)

  • Monitor level: never jump it. The server rails it (default ceiling -6 dB, max +6 dB per call, +10 dB per 30 s) and treats unmute and un-dim as level events. When a call is refused, relay the refusal text verbatim: it names the env var or confirm flag that would unblock it, and the usual fix is to lower the stored level first, then release the mute.
  • Never raise the monitor level to check whether something works. Use meters instead.
  • 48V: ask what the microphone is before enabling phantom power. It permanently damages ribbon microphones. Both phantom_48v=true and confirm_condenser_mic=true are required.
  • Talkback auto-off: uad_talkback(on=true) starts a 30 s auto-off timer by default. Calling it again replaces the timer. Never leave talkback open, and never remove the timer to be convenient.
  • Anything unexpectedly loud, feedback included: uad_safe_state() first, diagnose second.
  • Headphone output level cannot be set by this protocol. Build the balance with cue sends and let the performer use the physical knob.
  • The server cannot save a Console session. Remind the user to press Cmd+S in Console.

Task: tracking a vocal or an instrument

1. Find the input. It must have has_preamp: true. If more than one candidate fits, ask rather than guessing.

uad_list_channels(kind="input")

2. Name it and set a clean starting state.

uad_set_channels(items=[
  {"target": 1, "name": "LEAD VOX", "fader_db": 0, "mute": false, "solo": false, "hidden": false}
])

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.
