overcast-audio-match

overcast-audio-match is a skill for Claude Code from kdr/overcast. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,049 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An audio comparison tool that checks whether two clips contain the same recording. It uses sound patterns rather than spoken words, so it is different from identifying what someone says.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to index known audio files, compare a query clip with that collection, compare two clips directly, and try a meaning-based audio check when an exact fingerprint match fails.
Why use it?
It helps verify recordings after format changes, re-encoding, or background noise, while filtering out sped-up copies. It can also show where the matching section occurs in each file.

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

overcast-audio-match 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 8d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-audio-match

Use this skill to answer "is this the SAME recording?": Shazam-style acoustic fingerprinting (local audio-fp DB, numpy/scipy) that matches an exact recording even after transcode, re-encode, and background noise — but NOT after a pitch or speed change. Say that twice, because it defines what a match means. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags. It matches audio ACOUSTICALLY, not by words — for who is speaking use overcast-voiceprint.

Prerequisites

overcast doctor --json                 # confirm uv + visual-db (numpy/scipy) are ready
scripts/visual-db-uv.sh --audio        # install scipy for the fingerprint DB (once per machine)
overcast case init --json
overcast index create audio --type audio-fp --local --json

Workflow

  1. Fingerprint the known recordings into the index:
overcast audio add ./original-broadcast.mp3 --index audio --json
overcast audio add ./known-song.wav --index audio --json
  1. Match a query clip against the index, or compare two clips directly. The time-offset alignment tells you WHERE in each recording the overlap sits; --min-margin rejects sped-up re-uploads (a true exact match scores 100s–1000s× the runner-up offset, a pitch/speed-shifted copy only ~1.2–1.7×), and --draw renders an SVG alignment plot (hash-pair scatter + offset histogram) that embeds in briefs like image --draw:
overcast audio match ./clip-from-somewhere.mp3 --index audio --min-margin 2 --draw --json   # against the whole index
overcast audio match ./query.mp3 ./reference.wav --min-margin 2 --json                       # clip-to-clip
  1. Escalate a fingerprint MISS you still suspect is a re-edit. Fingerprinting won't catch a pitch/speed-shifted or re-performed copy — for that, run a CLAP semantic pass (similar, LAION CLAP over a basic-clap index), which finds acoustically SIMILAR audio rather than the exact recording:
overcast index create audio-sem --type basic-clap --local --json
overcast similar add ./original-broadcast.mp3 --index audio-sem --json
overcast similar match ./clip-from-somewhere.mp3 --index audio-sem --json   # semantically nearest audio

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.
