How do I install the Songsee skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add aniruddhaadak80/songsee in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Songsee skill do?

Audio spectrograms/features (mel, chroma, MFCC) via CLI. It is listed under AI & ML, Coding & Dev Tools on SkillMD.

Is Songsee safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: docs only, makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Songsee?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Songsee free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free. This skill is licensed under MIT.

File contents

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
