interval

interval is a skill for Claude Code from GuitarAlchemist/ga. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A music-theory tool that calculates the interval between two named pitches, including its name and semitone distance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify intervals such as a perfect fifth, compare two notes, or count their semitones.
Why use it?
It avoids mistakes when measuring pitch distance or naming intervals.

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

interval 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 1mo 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.

Interval Between Two Notes

When a user asks for the interval, distance, or semitone count between two named pitches, you MUST call the ga_interval_compute MCP tool. Do NOT compute the answer from training knowledge — the tool is deterministic and the model is not.

Calling the tool

The tool takes two arguments:

  • lowerNote — string, e.g. "C", "F#", "Bb". Case-insensitive.
  • upperNote — string, same notation.

The tool returns a structured result with these fields:

  • Name — short interval name (e.g. "P5", "m3").
  • Quality — long form: "perfect", "major", "minor", "augmented", "diminished".
  • Size — long form: "unison", "second", "third", ..., "octave".
  • Semitones — integer 0–12.
  • Error — non-null only when input could not be parsed.

Picking the lower / upper note

Map the user's phrasing to argument order:

  • "interval from C to G" → lowerNote="C", upperNote="G".
  • "interval between C and G" → same as above; the first-mentioned note is the lower.
  • "distance from F# to D" → lowerNote="F#", upperNote="D". Pass both in order even when the lower is alphabetically later — the tool computes the simple interval correctly.
  • "how many semitones from A to E" → lowerNote="A", upperNote="E". Read out the Semitones field to answer.

Phrasing the answer

Use the tool's Quality and Size words verbatim, then quote the short Name and Semitones count. Example:

From C to G is a perfect fifth (P5, 7 semitones).

If Error is non-null, surface the message verbatim and ask the user to clarify the note names.

When to ask for clarification

If the user provides only one note, or names a chord rather than two notes (e.g. "interval of A", "what's the interval in a Cmaj7"), do NOT call the tool with placeholder values — ask for the missing pitch first. Example response: "Could you give me both notes? E.g. 'interval from C to G' or 'distance between F# and A'."

interval is a skill published in the GitHub repository GuitarAlchemist/ga (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,014 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
