  • Playlist name and Spotify URL

  • Tracks added (composer, piece, performers, duration, Spotify URI)

  • 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
