AI SKILL

Loudness Calculator Guide

Teaches an AI assistant to help you use the calculator from the app's manual: entering loudness and true peak, picking a built-in standard or a custom one, reading the scale and warnings, measuring a file in the browser and what its limits are.

What it does

Give the measured loudness and true peak, and the delivery you need.

  • Gain and peak check. Gain to apply, result loudness, result true peak and the highest gain without a limiter.
  • Official or recommended. Which built-in targets come from a primary document and which are common practice.
  • Measuring a file. BS.1770 in the browser, whole programme only, no dialogue gating, with limits.

Where it helps

For checking deliveries before sending them. It follows the app's documentation (2026.10.1). The app is not a certified meter: confirm important deliveries with your own BS.1770 meter.

How to use it

  1. Add the skill folder to Claude as a Skill, or open the universal prompt file and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini or any assistant (custom GPT, Gem, system prompt, or the start of a chat).
  2. Describe your problem in your own words. The skill asks the few questions that change the answer.
  3. Check the answer against your equipment manuals and, where it matters, a measurement.

Limits

A skill makes an AI assistant more careful, not infallible. It cannot see your equipment, it can be wrong, and standards and platforms change. Every skill lists its sources and what it does not know, and shows whether a person has validated it. Mains power, RF power and structural work always need a qualified person.
