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_analyzefor automated audio analysis - Useful for comparing audio outputs, debugging synthesis, or documenting audio processing pipelines

base
Query Base (Ethereum L2) blockchain data with USD pricing — wallet balances, token info, transaction details, gas analysis, contract inspection, whale detection, and live network stats. Uses Base RPC + CoinGecko. No API key required.

one-three-one-rule
Structured decision-making framework for technical proposals and trade-off analysis. When the user faces a choice between multiple approaches (architecture decisions, tool selection, refactoring strategies, migration paths), this skill produces a 1-3-1 format: one clear problem statement, three distinct options with pros/cons, and one concrete recommendation with definition of done and implementation plan. Use when the user asks for a "1-3-1", says "give me options", or needs help choosing between competing approaches.
fastmcp
Build, test, inspect, install, and deploy MCP servers with FastMCP in Python. Use when creating a new MCP server, wrapping an API or database as MCP tools, exposing resources or prompts, or preparing a FastMCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, or HTTP deployment.
qdrant-vector-search
High-performance vector similarity search engine for RAG and semantic search. Use when building production RAG systems requiring fast nearest neighbor search, hybrid search with filtering, or scalable vector storage with Rust-powered performance.
