What it does

Configure is an agent skill from bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills. Sets up or edits the plugin configuration file interactively. Use on first-time setup, when config is missing, or when the user wants to change settings.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `SETTINGS_REFERENCE.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Human + AI music production workflow for Suno - skills, templates, and tools. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to change settings

Example prompts

  • “/configure”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml exists
  2. If exists, ask if they want to overwrite or edit instead
  3. If creating new

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58f32c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • soundcloud.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Configure loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion, Glob

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Route based on argument:

  • setup or no argument → Interactive first-time setup
  • edit → Edit specific settings
  • show → Display current configuration
  • validate → Check config for issues
  • reset → Delete config and start fresh

Plugin Configuration Skill

You help users set up and manage their ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml configuration.

Config Location

~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Commands

/configure or /configure setup

Interactive first-time setup. Guide user through creating their config.

Steps:

  1. Check if ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml exists
  2. If exists, ask if they want to overwrite or edit instead
  3. If creating new:
    • Create ~/.bitwize-music/ directory if needed
    • Ask for each required setting interactively
    • Write the config file
    • Validate the result

Required settings to ask:

  1. artist.name - "What's your artist/project name?"
  2. paths.content_root - "Where should albums and projects be stored? (e.g., ~/music-projects)"
  3. paths.audio_root - "Where should mastered audio files go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/audio)"
  4. paths.documents_root - "Where should research documents/PDFs go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/documents)"

Optional settings: 5. artist.genres - "What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or skip)" 6. urls.soundcloud - "SoundCloud profile URL? (or skip)"

Step 5: Overrides Directory (Optional)

Ask:

You can optionally provide a path to a directory containing override files. This is where you can customize workflows and skills without plugin update conflicts.

Override files you can create:

  • CLAUDE.md (custom workflow instructions)
  • pronunciation-guide.md (artist names, character names)
  • explicit-words.md (custom explicit word list)

Default: ~/music-projects/overrides

Enter path (or press Enter to use default):

If user provides path:

  • Add to config: paths.overrides: "[user-path]"

If user presses Enter (accepts default):

  • Add to config: paths.overrides: "~/music-projects/overrides"
  • Tell user: "Note: Directory doesn't need to exist yet. Create override files when you want to customize."

Step 6: Album Ideas File (Optional)

Ask:

You can optionally provide a path to a file for tracking album ideas. This is managed by the /bitwize-music:album-ideas skill for brainstorming and planning.

Default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md

Enter path (or press Enter to use default):

If user provides path:

  • Add to config: paths.ideas_file: "[user-path]"

If user presses Enter (accepts default):

  • Add to config: paths.ideas_file: "~/music-projects/IDEAS.md"
  • Tell user: "Note: File doesn't need to exist yet. The album-ideas skill creates it when first used."

Example interaction:

Let's set up your bitwize-music configuration.

What's your artist/project name?
> Neon Circuits

Where should albums and projects be stored?
(This is where your album folders, lyrics, and research will live)
> ~/music-projects

Where should mastered audio files go?
> ~/music-projects/audio

Where should research documents/PDFs go?
> ~/music-projects/documents

What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or press Enter to skip)
> electronic, synthwave

SoundCloud profile URL? (or press Enter to skip)
> https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits

Overrides directory path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/overrides)
> [Enter]

Album ideas file path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md)
> [Enter]

Creating config at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

✓ Configuration saved!

/configure edit

Edit specific settings without recreating the whole config.

Steps:

  1. Read existing config
  2. Show current values
  3. Ask what they want to change
  4. Update just that setting
  5. Validate and save

Example:

Current configuration:

  artist.name: Neon Circuits
  paths.content_root: ~/music-projects
  paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio
  paths.documents_root: ~/music-projects/documents
  artist.genres: [electronic, synthwave]
  urls.soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits

What would you like to change?
/configure show

Display the current configuration in a readable format.

Steps:

  1. Read ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
  2. Display all settings in a formatted table
  3. Note any missing required settings

Example output:

bitwize-music Configuration
Location: ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

✓ All required settings present
/configure validate

Check the config for issues.

Checks:

  1. Config file exists
  2. All required fields present
  3. Paths are valid (directories exist or can be created)
  4. No syntax errors in YAML

Example output:

Validating ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

✓ Config file exists
✓ artist.name: Neon Circuits
✓ paths.content_root: ~/music-projects (exists)
✓ paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio (exists)
✓ paths.documents_root: ~/music-projects/documents (will be created)
✓ paths.overrides: ~/music-projects/overrides (will be used if created)
✓ paths.ideas_file: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md (will be created when first used)
✓ generation.service: suno

All checks passed!

Or with issues:

Validating ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

✓ Config file exists
✓ artist.name: Neon Circuits
✗ paths.content_root: not set (required)
✓ paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio
✗ paths.documents_root: /invalid/path (directory doesn't exist)

2 issues found. Run /configure edit to fix.
/configure reset

Delete config and optionally start fresh.

Steps:

  1. Confirm user really wants to reset
  2. Back up existing config to config.yaml.bak
  3. Delete ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
  4. Ask if they want to run setup now

Example:

⚠️  This will delete your configuration at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Current config will be backed up to config.yaml.bak

Are you sure you want to reset? (yes/no)

If yes:

✓ Backed up to ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml.bak
✓ Deleted ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Config has been reset.

Would you like to set up a new config now? (yes/no)

Config Template

When creating a new config, use this structure:

yaml
# bitwize-music Plugin Configuration
# Generated by /configure

artist:
  name: "{artist_name}"
  genres:
    - "{genre1}"
    - "{genre2}"

paths:
  content_root: "{content_root}"
  audio_root: "{audio_root}"
  documents_root: "{documents_root}"
  overrides: "{overrides}"
  ideas_file: "{ideas_file}"

urls:
  soundcloud: "{soundcloud_url}"

generation:
  service: suno

Edge Cases

Config exists but is invalid YAML
  • Back up the existing file: config.yaml.bak
  • Offer to create fresh config
Directory doesn't exist
  • Offer to create it: "Directory ~/music-projects doesn't exist. Create it?"
User provides relative path
  • Expand to absolute: ./projects → /Users/name/projects
  • Or use ~ prefix: ~/projects

Remember

  • Preserve exact casing - If user says "bitwize", write "bitwize" not "Bitwize"
  • Always expand ~ in paths for display
  • Create directories if they don't exist (with permission)
  • Back up existing config before overwriting
  • Validate after any changes
  • Be friendly and explain what each setting does
