When to Use This Skill

• Converting a finished song into Suno-ready format
• Optimizing an existing Suno prompt that isn't rendering well
• Checking character counts (Style ≤1000, Lyrics ≤5000)
• Adding appropriate meta-tags for dynamics, vocal delivery, or structure
• Troubleshooting common Suno issues (repetition, wrong voice, genre drift)

Optimization Workflow

1. Check character counts — Style ≤1000, Lyrics ≤5000. Flag overflows.
2. Add global control tags — [track], [control: no-repeat], [length], [sequence]
3. Apply pipe notation where stacked tags exceed 3 per section
4. Add vocal delivery tags — [vulnerable vocals], [whisper], [chant] where appropriate
5. Add dynamics tags — [crescendo], [silence], [modulation] at key moments
6. Add [end] at the bottom
7. Verify section tags are on their own lines, never same line as lyrics
8. Check for obsolete tags — replace any [bpm], [key], [loop], [autotune]
9. Consolidate production tags — max 2-3 stacked tags per section for best results

Common Suno Problems & Fixes

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Song runs too long	No length tag	Add [length: 270]
Sections out of order	Complex structure confuses parser	Add [sequence: ...]
Lines get repeated	Suno auto-loops	Add [control: no-repeat] on spoken sections
Wrong voice gender	Unclear vocal assignment	Use [Male Vocal]/[Female Vocal] explicitly
Song won't end	No termination signal	Add [end] after outro
Bridge gets sung instead of spoken	No delivery tag	Add [spoken word] or [narrator]
No dynamic contrast	All sections same energy	Add [build], [silence], [crescendo]
Genre drift mid-song	Conflicting style cues	Use [track: genre: X] globally + exclusions

Priority Order for Tags (character budget)

1. [control] + [length] + [sequence] (structural)
2. Section names with pipe notation (saves chars)
3. [modulation] / [silence] / [beat-switch] (specific moments)
4. [vulnerable vocals] / [whisper] / [chant] (vocal)
5. [crescendo] / [diminuendo] / [build] (dynamics)
6. [end] (termination)
