What it does

Projectm Milkdrop is an agent skill from ad-repo/nullplayer. ProjectM/MilkDrop preset engine inside the visualization window — preset loading, controls, modes, audio sensitivity, beat sensitivity, drag-suspend behavior. Use when editing the ProjectM wrapper, preset folder logic, or its menu.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: nullPlayer is a free open source macOS media player with some unique features.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing the ProjectM wrapper
  • Preset folder logic

Example prompts

  • “/projectm-milkdrop”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3d87ce1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Projectm Milkdrop loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,132 words (~2,483 tokens).

“Renders classic MilkDrop presets using OpenGL. The visualization window has two implementations (classic/modern UI modes) both embedding VisualizationGLView for rendering. The same window hosts the ProjectM, Geiss and Tripex engines, switchable from the right-click Visualization Engine submenu.”
