Tracks not found on Spotify
Total counts (matched/unmatched)

View the log as a Markdown report with --spotify-log-report. The log file is append-only and can be queried with standard jq commands:

# Count total operations
wc -l ~/.claude/skills/classical-887/playlist-log.jsonl

# Show all playlist names used
cat ~/.claude/skills/classical-887/playlist-log.jsonl | jq -r '.playlist_name' | sort -u

# Total tracks matched across all operations
cat ~/.claude/skills/classical-887/playlist-log.jsonl | jq '.matched_count' | paste -sd+ | bc
