Genre Creator

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to add a genre
• Says /genre-creator
• Neues Genre erstellen
• Genre hinzufuegen

Example prompts

• “/genre-creator”
• “neues Genre erstellen”
• “Genre hinzufuegen”
• “/genre-creator”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Glob, WebSearch

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Derive slug: Lowercase, hyphenated (e.g. "Math Rock" → math-rock)
2. 2Check existence: If genres/{slug}/README.md exists → abort, inform user
3. 3Check INDEX.md: Read genres/INDEX.md to confirm genre is not already listed
4. 4Research: Use WebSearch to verify key facts (origin year, pioneer artists, landmark albums) — do NOT guess dates or album names
5. 5Read 1-2 existing genre files for structural reference (e.g. genres/hip-hop/README.md, genres/phonk/README.md)
6. 6Create directory: genres/{slug}/
7. 7Write README.md following the exact template below
8. 8Update INDEX.md: Add genre to category table, alphabetical list, and all applicable Quick Reference tables (Tempo, Energy…
9. 9Update mastering presets: Add the new genre to both mastering preset files
10. 10Do NOT create an artists/ subdirectory — those are created separately when artist deep-dives are written

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
  • Edit
  • Write
  • Glob
  • WebSearch

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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

Genre Creator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 633 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~70

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

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

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.
