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 B, and why

ace-step-music-generation-remix scanned grade B with 2 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 12d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **Linux**: `sudo apt-get install jq` (Debian/Ubuntu) or `sudo dnf install jq` (Fedora)

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The `scripts/acestep.sh` script requires: **curl** and **jq**.
Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to acestep — 539 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ACE-Step Music Generation Skill

Use ACE-Step V1.5 API for music generation. Always use scripts/acestep.sh script — do NOT call API endpoints directly.

Quick Start

# 1. cd to this skill's directory
cd {project_root}/{.claude or .codex}/skills/acestep/

# 2. Check API service health
./scripts/acestep.sh health

# 3. Generate with lyrics (recommended)
./scripts/acestep.sh generate -c "pop, female vocal, piano" -l "[Verse] Your lyrics here..." --duration 120 --language zh

# 4. Output saved to: {project_root}/acestep_output/

Workflow

For user requests requiring vocals:

  1. Use the acestep-songwriting skill for lyrics writing, caption creation, duration/BPM/key selection
  2. Write complete, well-structured lyrics yourself based on the songwriting guide
  3. Generate using Caption mode with -c and -l parameters

Only use Simple/Random mode (-d or random) for quick inspiration or instrumental exploration.

If the user needs a simple music video, use the acestep-simplemv skill to render one with waveform visualization and synced lyrics.

MV Production Requirements: Making a simple MV requires three additional skills to be installed:

  • acestep-songwriting — for writing lyrics and planning song structure
  • acestep-lyrics-transcription — for transcribing audio to timestamped lyrics (LRC)
  • acestep-simplemv — for rendering the final music video

Script Commands

CRITICAL - Complete Lyrics Input: When providing lyrics via the -l parameter, you MUST pass ALL lyrics content WITHOUT any omission:

  • If user provides lyrics, pass the ENTIRE text they give you
  • If you generate lyrics yourself, pass the COMPLETE lyrics you created
  • NEVER truncate, shorten, or pass only partial lyrics
  • Missing lyrics will result in incomplete or incoherent songs

Music Parameters: Use the acestep-songwriting skill for guidance on duration, BPM, key scale, and time signature.

# need to cd to this skill's directory first
cd {project_root}/{.claude or .codex}/skills/acestep/

# Caption mode - RECOMMENDED: Write lyrics first, then generate
./scripts/acestep.sh generate -c "Electronic pop, energetic synths" -l "[Verse] Your complete lyrics
[Chorus] Full chorus here..." --duration 120 --bpm 128

# Instrumental only
./scripts/acestep.sh generate "Jazz with saxophone"

# Quick exploration (Simple/Random mode)
./scripts/acestep.sh generate -d "A cheerful song about spring"
./scripts/acestep.sh random

# Options
./scripts/acestep.sh generate "Rock" --duration 60 --batch 2
./scripts/acestep.sh generate "EDM" --no-thinking    # Faster

# Other commands
./scripts/acestep.sh status <job_id>
./scripts/acestep.sh health
./scripts/acestep.sh models

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.
