At a glance

Converts an album idea from IDEAS.md into an actual album project in one step.

  • Works in 5 steps: Parse Arguments → Confirm the Derived Slug → Ask About Documentary Flag (if not… → …
  • The user says promote [idea title]
  • SKILL.md covers Your Task, Step 1: Parse Arguments, Step 2: Confirm the Derived Slug and Step 3: Ask About Documentary…, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Promote Idea is an agent skill from bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills. Converts an album idea from IDEAS.md into an actual album project in one step. Use when the user says "promote [idea title]", "turn idea into album", or "start working on [idea]".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • The user says promote [idea title]
  • Turn idea into album
  • Start working on [idea]

Example prompts

  • “promote [idea title]”
  • “turn idea into album”
  • “start working on [idea]”
  • “/promote-idea”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, bitwize-music-mcp

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Confirm the Derived Slug
  3. Ask About Documentary Flag (if not already supplied)
  4. Promote via MCP
  5. Confirm and Suggest Next Step

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
    • bitwize-music-mcp

    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

Promote Idea loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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

Convert a Pending idea from IDEAS.md into a full album project in one call. Replaces the manual 3-step workflow (get_ideas → new-album → update_idea) with a single entry point.


Promote Idea Skill

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Expected formats:

  • "<idea title>" — auto-derive slug from the title
  • "<idea title>" <album-slug> — override the auto-derived slug
  • "<idea title>" documentary — standard slug, documentary flag on
  • "<idea title>" <album-slug> documentary — explicit slug + documentary

Examples:

  • "Kleine Welt" → slug auto-derived to kleine-welt
  • "The Great Molasses Flood" molasses-flood documentary
  • "Ängstliche Kätzchen" → slug angstliche-katzchen (diacritics stripped)

If no arguments are supplied, or the title is empty, list the available pending ideas first and ask which one to promote:

Which idea should I promote?

Pending ideas:
1. Kleine Welt (electronic, Thematic)
2. The Great Molasses Flood (folk, Documentary)
3. Linux Kernel Wars (electronic, Character Study)

Reply with the exact title.

Use get_ideas(status_filter="Pending") to fetch the list.

Step 2: Confirm the Derived Slug

Call get_ideas(status_filter="Pending") (or search(query=idea_title, scope="ideas")) to confirm the idea exists and show the user what's about to happen.

Compute the slug locally for display only (lowercase, strip diacritics, non-alphanumeric → hyphen). If the result looks odd, offer to override:

About to promote:
  Idea:  Kleine Welt
  Slug:  kleine-welt
  Genre: electronic
  Type:  Thematic

Proceed? (Or supply a different slug.)

Skip the confirmation step if the user has already provided an explicit slug — that's the signal they've already thought about it.

Step 3: Ask About Documentary Flag (if not already supplied)

The documentary flag decides whether RESEARCH.md and SOURCES.md are created. This is not derivable from idea metadata — the idea's "Type" field can say "Documentary" but that's a separate concept (narrative shape). Ask once:

Is this a documentary/true-story album? (Adds research + sources templates. Answer 'yes' for real-world events, 'no' for fiction.)

Skip this step if documentary is already in the arguments.

Step 4: Promote via MCP

Call promote_idea(idea_title, album_slug=<slug or "">, documentary=<bool>).

The tool performs all of:

  1. Find the idea in state (error if missing or already promoted)
  2. Create the album directory via create_album_structure
  3. Inject the idea's concept into the new README.md under a ## Concept section
  4. Advance idea status Pending → In Progress
  5. Add **Promoted To**: <slug> back-link to the idea in IDEAS.md

The tool returns {promoted: true, slug, album_path, files, ...} on success or {error: ...} on failure.

Step 5: Confirm and Suggest Next Step

On success, report:

Promoted "Kleine Welt" → album "kleine-welt"

Location: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/kleine-welt/
Files:    README.md, tracks/

Concept block injected into README.md from idea.
Idea status: Pending → In Progress

Next step:
  /bitwize-music:album-conceptualizer

  This walks through the 7 Planning Phases (Vision, Identity, Sonic
  Direction, Structure, Tracks, Content, Approval) to develop the concept
  you just carried over into the album.

For documentary albums, add:

  Research files also created: RESEARCH.md, SOURCES.md
  Don't forget human source verification before generation.

Error Handling

Idea not found:

Error: Idea "Nonexistent" not found in IDEAS.md.

Check available ideas: /bitwize-music:album-ideas list

Idea already promoted:

Error: Idea "Already Active" is already promoted (status: In Progress).

If you want to rename or re-scaffold, use /bitwize-music:rename on the
existing album instead.

Idea has no genre:

Error: Idea "No Genre" has no **Genre** field in IDEAS.md.

Set the genre first: /bitwize-music:album-ideas edit "No Genre"

Invalid genre:

Error: Invalid genre "xyz" on idea. Not in genres/.

Fix the genre in IDEAS.md, then retry.

Duplicate album slug:

Error: Album "kleine-welt" already exists.

Options:
1. Supply a different slug: /bitwize-music:promote-idea "Kleine Welt" kleine-welt-2
2. Resume the existing album: /bitwize-music:resume kleine-welt

Show full SKILL.md (228 more words)Show less

Examples

Simple title
/bitwize-music:promote-idea "Kleine Welt"

Auto-derives slug kleine-welt, asks about documentary flag, calls promote_idea, reports outcome.

Explicit slug override
/bitwize-music:promote-idea "The Great Molasses Flood" molasses-1919

Uses molasses-1919 instead of the auto-derived the-great-molasses-flood.

Documentary album
/bitwize-music:promote-idea "The Great Molasses Flood" documentary

Creates RESEARCH.md and SOURCES.md in addition to the standard README and tracks directory.


Why a Dedicated Skill

The manual workflow required three steps in sequence:

  1. get_ideas to find the idea's genre
  2. /bitwize-music:new-album <slug> <genre> with a slug the user invented
  3. update_idea("<title>", "status", "In Progress")

Problems this skill solves:

  • Concept transfer — The idea's concept text is now merged into the new album README automatically (manual copy/paste used to be skipped often).
  • Status discipline — Ideas no longer linger as Pending after being worked on; the transition is automatic and bidirectional (Promoted To back-link).
  • Slug derivation — No more re-inventing the slug; diacritics and punctuation are normalized consistently.
  • Single entry point — Newcomers learn one command instead of three.

Remember

  1. Pending-only — Only Pending ideas can be promoted. In Progress and Complete ideas return an error.
  2. One-way operation — Promotion creates files and updates state. There is no "unpromote"; use /bitwize-music:rename or manual cleanup if you need to redo.
  3. Concept is preserved — The idea's concept survives in two places after promotion: the idea's entry in IDEAS.md (historical record) and the new album's README.md (working document).
  4. Next step is always album-conceptualizer — Promotion only scaffolds; the actual planning happens in the 7 Planning Phases.
