How do I install the Openaudio skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add glassbead-tc/openaudio 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.

Is Openaudio safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: makes network calls, reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Openaudio?

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 Openaudio free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Openaudio

Build on the Open Audio Protocol — the decentralized global music database. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Open Audio Protocol, OAP, go-openaudio, running validator nodes, protocol-level music infrastructure, decentralized music storage, DDEX wire protocol, $AUDIO staking, artist coins, mediorum, or self-hosted music indexing. Also use when the user wants to run a devnet, build directly against the protocol without Audius APIs, or integrate with OAP consensus/storage layers.

Open Audio Protocol Development

The Open Audio Protocol (OAP) is the global music database: a decentralized protocol for storage, streaming, and programmable distribution of music. This skill helps you build on the protocol layer directly.

If the user wants to build a music app using ready-made REST APIs and SDKs, point them to the audius-api skill instead — Audius is an application layer built on OAP that provides a faster path for frontend/app development.

When to use OAP directly vs Audius

Goal	Use
Music player, app, frontend (fast path)	Audius API + SDK → see `audius-api` skill
Self-hosted indexer and API (no Audius dependency)	go-openaudio (this skill)
Run a validator node	go-openaudio (this skill)
Protocol integration, custom distribution	go-openaudio SDK + ddex-proto (this skill)
Artist coins, reward pools	Solana programs + OAP docs (this skill)

Architecture

OAP runs as a single Docker container (openaudio/go-openaudio) combining:

Core: CometBFT-based consensus and sync
Mediorum: Content storage (audio files, metadata)
ETH Bridge: Ethereum L1 registry sync (staking, node registration)

Wire Protocol

OAP extends DDEX with cryptographic primitives for permissionless operation. Implemented in protobuf via ddex-proto. Three message types:

ERN (Electronic Release Notification): Parties, resources, releases, deals
MEAD (Media Enrichment and Description): Mood, genre, lyrics
PIE (Party Identification and Enrichment): Biographical data, social links

Key Components

Component	Purpose	Ports
Core	Consensus, blocks, transactions	26656 (P2P), 26657 (RPC), 26659 (API)
Mediorum	Blob storage, transcoding	1991
ETH Bridge	Ethereum registry sync	—
API	gRPC/Connect services	50051
Console	Web UI (blocks, nodes, uptime)	/console/

Quickstart

docker run --rm -it \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 26656:26656 \
  -e OPENAUDIO_TLS_SELF_SIGNED=true \
  -e OPENAUDIO_STORAGE_ENABLED=false \
  openaudio/go-openaudio:stable

Then visit https://localhost/console/overview.

Important

Minimum validator bond: 200,000 $AUDIO
Health check: GET /health-check returns JSON with live, ready, core, and storage status
The Go SDK lives in pkg/sdk/ within go-openaudio (sdk.go, release.go, rewards/, mediorum/)
For Audius REST API / JavaScript SDK development, use the audius-api skill instead
