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

game-music-soundtrack-design 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.

Game Music Soundtrack Design

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the game genre, tone, player fantasy, world, emotional arc, platform, loop length, implementation tool, and whether the score is linear, adaptive, procedural, or hybrid.
  2. Define the music's design job: orient the player, sustain flow, signal danger, reward progress, express character, shape pacing, support combat, mask repetition, or create memory.
  3. Establish a sonic identity: instrumentation, harmony, rhythm, tempo range, texture, production style, cultural references, motif rules, and forbidden cliches.
  4. Decide the adaptive model before composing final assets: loops, stems, layers, states, switches, transitions, stingers, one-shots, procedural generation, or playlist logic.
  5. Compose and export in implementation-ready pieces: clean loop points, stems aligned to bar/beat, transition tails, intensity layers, stingers, alternate endings, and metadata.
  6. Integrate with game parameters such as biome, threat, combat phase, player health, stealth, time of day, boss state, narrative beat, or fail/retry loop.
  7. Review in gameplay over time. Check fatigue, repetition, emotional mismatch, transition timing, mix clashes, memory, and whether silence would be stronger.

Creative Priorities

  • Motifs: use short, recognizable musical ideas for characters, factions, places, mechanics, or emotional promises.
  • Arrangement: make intensity changes through orchestration, rhythm density, register, harmony, percussion, texture, and silence rather than only volume.
  • Interactivity: compose for clean transitions, re-entry points, fail states, pausing, menu returns, victory/defeat, and player-controlled pacing.
  • Identity: choose a score language that belongs to the game's world and mechanics, not only its genre label.
  • Fatigue control: provide enough variation, rests, and contextual restraint for repeated play.
  • Diegesis: decide whether music comes from the world, the interface, the player's emotional state, or cinematic scoring.

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.
