Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill uses a Bash command to invoke a local Python script that interacts with Suno AI's API using a session cookie obtained manually by the user. There are no destructive commands, exfiltration, or obfuscation. The token handling is entirely local and standard for API usage. No elevated risk beyond normal API interaction.

Suno Music - AI Music Generation

Generate music using Suno AI's API.

Setup (One-Time)

  1. Sign in to suno.ai
  2. Open browser DevTools (F12) → Console tab
  3. Run: document.cookie
  4. Find the __session=eyJ... part (it's a long JWT token)
  5. Export it: export SUNO_COOKIE="__session=eyJ..."

Note: The __session token expires after ~1 hour. You'll need to refresh it periodically.

Usage

Run the generation script:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/suno-music/generate_music.py "your prompt here" [options]

Options

| Option | Description | Default | |--------|-------------|---------| | --custom | Treat prompt as lyrics (not description) | False | | --tags | Style/voice tags (e.g., "female voice, pop, upbeat") | None | | --title | Song title | None | | --instrumental | Generate instrumental only (no vocals) | False | | --output | Output directory path | ./generated_music | | --model | Model key (e.g., chirp-auk-turbo) | Default free model |

Examples

Generate from description

python3 ~/.claude/skills/suno-music/generate_music.py "an upbeat electronic track for a tech product demo"

Custom lyrics with style

python3 ~/.claude/skills/suno-music/generate_music.py "[Verse 1]
Walking through the morning light
Everything feels just right" --custom --tags "indie folk, acoustic guitar, male voice" --title "Morning Light"

Instrumental track

python3 ~/.claude/skills/suno-music/generate_music.py "epic orchestral trailer music with building tension" --instrumental

Output

Songs are saved with format: {timestamp}_{sanitized_title}_{n}.mp3

Example: 20260106_morning_light_1.mp3

Suno generates 2 variations per request by default.

Credits

  • Free tier: 50 credits/day (renews daily)
  • Each generation uses 10 credits (5 per song × 2 variations)
  • So you can generate 5 songs per day on the free tier

Check remaining credits:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/suno-music/generate_music.py --credits

Models

| Model | Key | Notes | |-------|-----|-------| | v4.5-all | chirp-auk-turbo | Best free model (default) | | v5 | chirp-crow | Pro only, beta | | v4.5+ | chirp-bluejay | Pro only | | v4 | chirp-v4 | Pro only |

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • requests library (usually pre-installed)
  • SUNO_COOKIE environment variable with __session token

Troubleshooting

"API Error: 401" - Token expired. Get a fresh __session token from the browser.

"API Error: 402" - Out of credits. Wait for daily refresh or upgrade.
