Usage: /new-album <album-name> <genre>

Example: /new-album sample-album electronic
         /new-album the-heist documentary hip-hop

Created album: {album-name}
Location: {album_path}

Files created:
- README.md (album template)
- tracks/ (empty, ready for track files)
- promo/ (social media copy templates)

Next steps:
  Option 1 - Interactive (Recommended):
    Run /bitwize-music:album-conceptualizer to design your album concept
    through the 7 Planning Phases.

  Option 2 - Manual:
    1. Edit README.md with your album concept
    2. Create tracks with /import-track or manually in tracks/

Tip: For OST/soundtrack albums with a mix of vocal and instrumental
tracks, the album-conceptualizer will ask about the vocal/instrumental
split per track. Set `instrumental: true` in track frontmatter for
instrumental tracks — they skip the lyrics workflow and go directly
to /bitwize-music:suno-engineer.

Error: Config not found at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Run /configure to set up.

Error: Invalid genre "{genre}"

No genre directory found at genres/{genre}/. Use a valid genre slug (e.g. hip-hop, deep-house, grindcore).
Check genres/INDEX.md for the full list.

Error: Album slug '{album-name}' already exists under genre '{existing-genre}': {existing_path}

Album slugs are unique across all genres — choose a different name, or
rename the existing album with /bitwize-music:rename.
