music-identity

name	music-identity
description	Build and maintain a musician's creative identity — archetype, voice guide, visual world, platform fit, content do/don't lists. Run this for full identity setup, or it builds progressively as other music commands are used. Use when a musician asks about branding, identity, aesthetic, "who am I as an artist", or platform strategy.

Music Identity

Build the lens through which all content, pitches, and communications are shaped.

Profile

Read and write to ~/.claude/skills/music/artist-profile.json under the identity key.

Full setup mode

Run the complete identity setup — conversational, 2 questions at a time:

Round 1: References (3 artists admired — what resonates) + mood words (5 adjectives, feelings and textures, not genre labels) Round 2: Visual world (colors, textures, film refs, photography, fashion) + audience (lifestyle portrait of the listener) Round 3: Camera comfort (faceless / sometimes / fully visible) + tone of voice (minimal / warm / ironic / educational / raw / describe) Round 4: Links (Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, website) → Claude fetches each via web search to read bio, visual style, content patterns

Synthesis output

Generate and save:

• Archetype label: short phrase (e.g. "faceless ambient producer", "raw confessional songwriter")
• Platform fit score: high/medium/low per platform
• Content do list: 5–8 authentic approaches
• Content don't list: 3–5 things that would feel off-brand
• Voice guide: 3–4 sentences on how to write for this artist

Present and ask: "Does this feel right? Anything to adjust?"

Progressive mode

When another /music-* command needs identity data that's missing, ask only the relevant question(s):

• Missing archetype → "In one phrase, how would you describe yourself as an artist?"
• Missing camera_comfort → "How do you feel about being on camera?"
• Missing tone_of_voice → "How do you talk to your audience?"
• Missing mood_words → "Give me 5 words that describe the world of your music"

Save each answer immediately. After 3+ fields → generate partial synthesis.

Identity refresh

"What's changed since we last set this up?" — update only relevant fields, re-run synthesis.

After generating

Suggest: /music-content for identity-shaped content, /music-comms for voice-adapted pitches, /music-press for updated EPK.
