Sheet Music Publisher

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Wants sheet music
• A songbook for their album

Example prompts

• “Use the sheet-music-publisher skill to convert mastered audio to sheet music and creates printable songbooks”
• “/sheet-music-publisher”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, bitwize-music-mcp

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Setup verification - Check AnthemScore and MuseScore installed
2. 2Track selection - Identify which tracks to transcribe (melodic tracks work best)
3. 3Automated transcription - Run transcribe.py via AnthemScore CLI
4. 4Optional polish - Recommend MuseScore editing for accuracy improvements
5. 5Prepare singles - Create clean-titled consumer-ready files (PDF, XML, MIDI)
6. 6Optional songbook - Create distribution-ready combined PDF with TOC

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
  • Grep
  • Glob
  • Bash
  • bitwize-music-mcp

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • lunaverus.com
  • musescore.org

  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

Sheet Music Publisher loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~44

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

~1.8k

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

• NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

  allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, bitwize-music-mcp

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.
