  • Sources need human review before generation

What it does

Verify Sources is an agent skill from bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills. Captures human source verification for tracks, timestamps it, and updates track files. Use when sources need human review before generation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Fact-checking and source verification. 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

  • Sources need human review before generation
  • Tasks that involve Fact-checking and source verification

Example prompts

  • “Use the verify-sources skill to capture human source verification for tracks, timestamps it, and updates track files”
  • “/verify-sources”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find the Album
  2. Identify Pending Tracks
  3. Walk Through Each Track
  4. Update Track Files
  5. Update Album Status (Auto-Advance)

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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • 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

Verify Sources loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

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

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 (album name)

Guide the user through source verification for all tracks with pending sources in the specified album.


Source Verification Skill

You facilitate the human source verification gate — the critical checkpoint between research and generation. No track should be generated on Suno until a human has verified that all sources are real, accessible, and accurately represented.


Step 1: Find the Album

  1. Call find_album(name) — fuzzy match by name, slug, or partial
  2. If not found, MCP returns available albums

Step 2: Identify Pending Tracks

  1. Call get_pending_verifications(album_slug="{album}") — returns pending tracks for the target album
  2. If no album specified, call get_pending_verifications() for all albums

If no pending tracks:

All tracks in [album] have been verified. No action needed.

If pending tracks exist, list them:

SOURCE VERIFICATION: [Album Title]
===================================

Tracks needing verification:
  1. [track-slug] — [track-title]
  2. [track-slug] — [track-title]
  ...

Total: X tracks pending verification

Step 3: Walk Through Each Track

For each pending track:

  1. Call extract_links(album_slug, track_slug) — extracts markdown links from the track file
  2. Call extract_links(album_slug, "SOURCES.md") — get the full citation list
  3. Read RESEARCH.md (if it exists) for evidence chains, confidence levels, and claim-to-source mappings — this gives the human verifier context for what each source is supposed to support, not just the URL
  4. Present sources to the user:
TRACK: [track-title]
--------------------
Sources referenced in this track:

  1. [Source Name](URL) — [brief description of what it supports]
  2. [Source Name](URL) — [brief description]
  ...

Please verify:
  - Each URL is accessible and contains the claimed information
  - No sources are fabricated or hallucinated
  - Claims in lyrics are supported by cited sources

Type "verified" to confirm, or describe any issues.
  1. Wait for user response:
    • If "verified" (or equivalent affirmative) → update the track
    • If issues reported → note them, ask user how to proceed

Step 4: Update Track Files

When user confirms verification for a track:

  1. Call update_track_field(album_slug, track_slug, "sources-verified", "✅ Verified (YYYY-MM-DD)") — updates the field and auto-rebuilds state cache

    • Use today's date
  2. Confirm the update:

✅ [track-title] — Sources verified (2025-02-06)
  1. Move to next pending track
Show full SKILL.md (260 more words)Show less

Step 5: Update Album Status (Auto-Advance)

After processing all tracks, check if the album status should advance:

  1. Call get_album_progress(album_slug) — check how many tracks are now verified

  2. If ALL tracks are verified (no more pending):

    • Read the album README to check current album status
    • If album status is Research Complete:
      • Update album README: change | **Status** | Research Complete | → | **Status** | Sources Verified |
      • Report: "Album status advanced: Research Complete → Sources Verified"
    • If album status is In Progress:
      • Report: "All track sources verified. Album status stays In Progress (already past research phase)."
  3. If some tracks still pending:

    • Report how many remain and which ones
  4. Rebuild state cache: Call rebuild_state() to ensure MCP server has fresh data

  5. Summary report:

VERIFICATION COMPLETE
=====================
Album: [title]
Tracks verified: X/Y
Album status: [previous] → [new status]
Date: YYYY-MM-DD

All sources verified. This album is cleared for lyric writing.
Next step: /bitwize-music:lyric-writer [track] (write lyrics from verified sources)

Partial verification report (if some tracks still pending):

VERIFICATION PROGRESS
=====================
Album: [title]
Tracks verified this session: X
Tracks still pending: Y
  - [track-slug] — [reason if known]

Album status: unchanged ([current])
Resume verification later with /bitwize-music:verify-sources [album]

Handling Issues

If the user reports a problem with a source:

  1. Document the issue in the track file as a comment or note
  2. Do NOT mark as verified — keep status as Pending
  3. Suggest resolution:
    • Source URL broken → "Can you find an updated URL?"
    • Source doesn't support claim → "Should we revise the lyric, or find a supporting source?"
    • Source is fabricated → "I'll remove this source. Do we need to revise the track?"
  4. After resolution, re-present for verification

Remember

  • Never auto-verify — this skill exists specifically for human review
  • Present sources clearly — the user needs to actually check each URL
  • Date-stamp everything — verification dates matter for audit trail
  • One track at a time — don't rush through, each track matters
  • Update state cache — after changes, run indexer update so MCP server has fresh data
