| description | Set up the initial file system for a new sandbox. Fetches the account's organizations and artists via the Recoup CLI and scaffolds the folder structure. Use when a sandbox has just been created and has no existing file system. Before running, check if the sandbox already has an orgs/ directory — if it does, this skill is not needed. |
Setup Sandbox
Create the folder structure for the connected account's organizations and artists.
Environment
RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID — The account ID to fetch data for. Only needed when using an Org API Key. When using a Personal API Key, omit the --account flag and the CLI will use the authenticated account automatically.
Steps
- Check if
RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID is set. If set, use --account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID on all CLI commands below. If not set, omit the --account flag.
- Run
recoup orgs list --json [--account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID] to get all organizations
- For each organization, run
recoup artists list --org {organization_id} --json [--account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID] to get its artists
- Create the folder structure and a
RECOUP.md marker in each artist folder:
- Use
artistSlug from the CLI response as the exact directory name — never append UUIDs, IDs, or suffixes
- If
orgs/{org}/artists/{artist-slug}/ already exists, skip it
mkdir -p orgs/{org}/artists/{artist-slug} for each new artist- Write a
RECOUP.md using the template below
- Commit and push:
git add -A && git commit -m "setup: create org and artist folders" && git push origin main
RECOUP.md
Every artist directory has a RECOUP.md at its root. This is the identity file — it connects the workspace to the Recoupable platform. The existence of this file means the workspace is active.
Fill it with data from the CLI response:
---
artistName: {Artist Name}
artistSlug: {artist-slug}
artistId: {uuid-from-recoupable}
---
Fields:
artistName — display name from the CLI (e.g. Gatsby Grace)artistSlug — lowercase-kebab-case folder name (e.g. gatsby-grace)artistId — the UUID from Recoup
