Playlist Log

Every

--spotify-playlist

operation automatically appends a JSONL entry to

~/.claude/skills/classical-887/playlist-log.jsonl

. Each entry records:

Date and action (created/appended)
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
