songsee

songsee is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kevinnft/ai-agent-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of songsee, MIT.

A command-line tool that turns audio files into spectrograms and other visual charts. A spectrogram shows how frequencies in sound change over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create spectrograms, mel and chroma views, loudness charts, tempo views, MFCCs, self-similarity plots, or visualizations of selected time ranges.
Why use it?
It makes audio patterns such as pitch, loudness, rhythm, and speech-related features easier to inspect visually.

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

songsee 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.

What it actually says

songsee

Generate spectrograms and multi-panel audio feature visualizations from audio files.

Prerequisites

Requires Go:

go install github.com/steipete/songsee/cmd/songsee@latest

Optional: ffmpeg for formats beyond WAV/MP3.

Quick Start

# Basic spectrogram
songsee track.mp3

# Save to specific file
songsee track.mp3 -o spectrogram.png

# Multi-panel visualization grid
songsee track.mp3 --viz spectrogram,mel,chroma,hpss,selfsim,loudness,tempogram,mfcc,flux

# Time slice (start at 12.5s, 8s duration)
songsee track.mp3 --start 12.5 --duration 8 -o slice.jpg

# From stdin
cat track.mp3 | songsee - --format png -o out.png

Visualization Types

Use --viz with comma-separated values:

Type Description
spectrogram Standard frequency spectrogram
mel Mel-scaled spectrogram
chroma Pitch class distribution
hpss Harmonic/percussive separation
selfsim Self-similarity matrix
loudness Loudness over time
tempogram Tempo estimation
mfcc Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients
flux Spectral flux (onset detection)

Multiple --viz types render as a grid in a single image.

Common Flags

Flag Description
--viz Visualization types (comma-separated)
--style Color palette: classic, magma, inferno, viridis, gray
--width / --height Output image dimensions
--window / --hop FFT window and hop size
--min-freq / --max-freq Frequency range filter
--start / --duration Time slice of the audio
--format Output format: jpg or png
-o Output file path

Notes

  • WAV and MP3 are decoded natively; other formats require ffmpeg
  • Output images can be inspected with vision_analyze for automated audio analysis
  • Useful for comparing audio outputs, debugging synthesis, or documenting audio processing pipelines

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.
