| name | claude-music-analyze |
| description | Analyzes audio files for BPM, musical key, loudness (LUFS), duration, format, and quality metrics. Uses ffprobe for metadata and FFmpeg for loudness measurement.
|
| when_to_use | Use when the user asks to analyze, inspect, or measure an audio file — BPM, key, loudness, LUFS, duration, codec, or general audio info.

claude-music-analyze — Audio Analysis
Quick Analysis (ffprobe)
ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.flac
ffprobe -v quiet -show_entries format=duration -of csv=p=0 input.flac
ffprobe -v quiet -show_entries stream=sample_rate,channels,codec_name -of csv=p=0 input.flac
Loudness Measurement (LUFS)
ffmpeg -i input.flac -af loudnorm=I=-14:TP=-1:LRA=11:print_format=json -f null - 2>&1 | \
grep -A 20 '"input_'
Key fields in output:
input_i: Integrated loudness (LUFS)input_tp: True peak (dBTP)input_lra: Loudness range (LU)
BPM Detection
Using ffmpeg's ebur128 for rhythm analysis, or for accurate BPM:
source ~/.video-skill/bin/activate
python3 -c "
import librosa
y, sr = librosa.load('input.flac', sr=None)
tempo, _ = librosa.beat.beat_track(y=y, sr=sr)
print(f'BPM: {tempo[0]:.1f}' if hasattr(tempo, '__len__') else f'BPM: {tempo:.1f}')
"
Key Detection
source ~/.video-skill/bin/activate
python3 -c "
import librosa
import numpy as np
y, sr = librosa.load('input.flac', sr=None)
chroma = librosa.feature.chroma_cqt(y=y, sr=sr)
key_names = ['C', 'C#', 'D', 'D#', 'E', 'F', 'F#', 'G', 'G#', 'A', 'A#', 'B']
key_idx = np.argmax(np.mean(chroma, axis=1))
print(f'Estimated key: {key_names[key_idx]}')
"
Comprehensive Report
Combine all analyses into a single report:
- Run ffprobe for format/codec/duration
- Run loudnorm for LUFS measurement
- Run librosa for BPM + key (if available)
- Present as structured summary
