Music Artist OS

Complete career operating system for independent music artists. This is the main orchestrator — it routes commands to specialized sub-skills.

Profile

All music sub-skills share a single persistent profile:

~/.claude/skills/music/artist-profile.json

Read this file at session start. If missing, create from the default schema in this directory and run /music-quick-start.

Commands

Route /music <command> to the correct sub-skill, or use sub-skills directly:

Intent routing

If the user asks something music-related without a specific command, route by intent:

• Release, DSP, pre-save, pitching → /music-releases
• Content, social, viral, faceless, what to post → /music-content
• Royalties, splits, publishing, money, PRO → /music-finances
• Shows, booking, touring, riders, festivals → /music-live
• Sync, TV, film, supervisors, licensing → /music-sync
• Merch, store, drops, t-shirts → /music-merch
• Press, PR, blogs, EPK, reviews → /music-press
• Fans, mailing list, community, newsletter → /music-fans
• Analytics, metrics, numbers, performance → /music-analytics
• Identity, branding, aesthetic, who am I → /music-identity
• Session notes, what I worked on → /music-session-log
• Collaborations, working with someone, stems → /music-collabs
• Email, pitch, outreach → /music-comms
• Contract, agreement, legal, deal → /music-legal
• Burned out, overwhelmed, pace, break → /music-sustainability
• What should I do, priorities, this week → /music-weekly-review

Full audit mode

When the artist says /music audit or "audit my career" or "full review":

Spawn parallel subagents:

1. audit-royalties — check all income streams are being collected
2. audit-content — review content strategy and platform presence
3. audit-release — check release readiness and timeline
4. audit-catalog — verify catalog metadata and sync readiness
5. audit-press — review press kit completeness

Each agent reads artist-profile.json and the relevant reference files, then reports findings. The orchestrator synthesizes into a unified Career Health Score with prioritized actions.

After every major task

Suggest the next logical sub-skill:

• After release plan → /music-content for campaign
• After content generated → /music-analytics in 2 weeks
• After show booked → /music-live closer to date for show mode
• After finances reviewed → /music-legal for agreements

Plain language mode

If explain_simply is true in profile (default), all sub-skills explain music business terms in plain language. Artist can disable with "skip the explanations".
