Plugin Configuration Skill

You help users set up and manage their ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml configuration.

Config Location

~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Commands

/configure or /configure setup

Interactive first-time setup. Guide user through creating their config.

Steps:

  1. Check if ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml exists
  2. If exists, ask if they want to overwrite or edit instead
  3. If creating new:
  4. Create ~/.bitwize-music/ directory if needed
  5. Ask for each required setting interactively
  6. Write the config file
  7. Validate the result

Required settings to ask:
1. artist.name - "What's your artist/project name?"
2. paths.content_root - "Where should albums and projects be stored? (e.g., ~/music-projects)"
3. paths.audio_root - "Where should mastered audio files go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/audio)"
4. paths.documents_root - "Where should research documents/PDFs go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/documents)"

Optional settings:
5. artist.genres - "What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or skip)"
6. urls.soundcloud - "SoundCloud profile URL? (or skip)"

Step 5: Overrides Directory (Optional)

Ask:

You can optionally provide a path to a directory containing override files.
This is where you can customize workflows and skills without plugin update conflicts.

Override files you can create:
- CLAUDE.md (custom workflow instructions)
- pronunciation-guide.md (artist names, character names)
- explicit-words.md (custom explicit word list)

Default: ~/music-projects/overrides

Enter path (or press Enter to use default):

If user provides path:
- Add to config: paths.overrides: "[user-path]"

If user presses Enter (accepts default):
- Add to config: paths.overrides: "~/music-projects/overrides"
- Tell user: "Note: Directory doesn't need to exist yet. Create override files when you want to customize."

Step 6: Album Ideas File (Optional)

Ask:

You can optionally provide a path to a file for tracking album ideas.
This is managed by the /bitwize-music:album-ideas skill for brainstorming and planning.

Default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md

Enter path (or press Enter to use default):

If user provides path:
- Add to config: paths.ideas_file: "[user-path]"

If user presses Enter (accepts default):
- Add to config: paths.ideas_file: "~/music-projects/IDEAS.md"
- Tell user: "Note: File doesn't need to exist yet. The album-ideas skill creates it when first used."

Example interaction:

Let's set up your bitwize-music configuration.

What's your artist/project name?
> Neon Circuits

Where should albums and projects be stored?
(This is where your album folders, lyrics, and research will live)
> ~/music-projects

Where should mastered audio files go?
> ~/music-projects/audio

Where should research documents/PDFs go?
> ~/music-projects/documents

What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or press Enter to skip)
> electronic, synthwave

SoundCloud profile URL? (or press Enter to skip)
> https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits

Overrides directory path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/overrides)
> [Enter]

Album ideas file path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md)
> [Enter]

Creating config at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

βœ“ Configuration saved!

Your settings:
  Artist: Neon Circuits
  Content: ~/music-projects
  Audio: ~/music-projects/audio
  Documents: ~/music-projects/documents
  Genres: electronic, synthwave
  SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits
  Overrides: ~/music-projects/overrides (will be used if created)
  Ideas File: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md (will be created when first used)

You're ready to start creating albums!

/configure edit

Edit specific settings without recreating the whole config.

Steps:
1. Read existing config
2. Show current values
3. Ask what they want to change
4. Update just that setting
5. Validate and save

Example:

Current configuration:

  artist.name: Neon Circuits
  paths.content_root: ~/music-projects
  paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio
  paths.documents_root: ~/music-projects/documents
  artist.genres: [electronic, synthwave]
  urls.soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits

What would you like to change?

/configure show

Display the current configuration in a readable format.

Steps:
1. Read ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
2. Display all settings in a formatted table
3. Note any missing required settings

Example output:

bitwize-music Configuration
Location: ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

βœ“ All required settings present

/configure validate

Check the config for issues.

Checks:
1. Config file exists
2. All required fields present
3. Paths are valid (directories exist or can be created)
4. No syntax errors in YAML

Example output:

Validating ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

βœ“ Config file exists
βœ“ artist.name: Neon Circuits
βœ“ paths.content_root: ~/music-projects (exists)
βœ“ paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio (exists)
βœ“ paths.documents_root: ~/music-projects/documents (will be created)
βœ“ paths.overrides: ~/music-projects/overrides (will be used if created)
βœ“ paths.ideas_file: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md (will be created when first used)
βœ“ generation.service: suno

All checks passed!

Or with issues:

Validating ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml...

βœ“ Config file exists
βœ“ artist.name: Neon Circuits
βœ— paths.content_root: not set (required)
βœ“ paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio
βœ— paths.documents_root: /invalid/path (directory doesn't exist)

2 issues found. Run /configure edit to fix.

/configure reset

Delete config and optionally start fresh.

Steps:
1. Confirm user really wants to reset
2. Back up existing config to config.yaml.bak
3. Delete ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
4. Ask if they want to run setup now

Example:

⚠️  This will delete your configuration at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Current config will be backed up to config.yaml.bak

Are you sure you want to reset? (yes/no)

If yes:

βœ“ Backed up to ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml.bak
βœ“ Deleted ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Config has been reset.

Would you like to set up a new config now? (yes/no)

Config Template

When creating a new config, use this structure:

# bitwize-music Plugin Configuration
# Generated by /configure

artist:
  name: "{artist_name}"
  genres:
    - "{genre1}"
    - "{genre2}"

paths:
  content_root: "{content_root}"
  audio_root: "{audio_root}"
  documents_root: "{documents_root}"
  overrides: "{overrides}"
  ideas_file: "{ideas_file}"

urls:
  soundcloud: "{soundcloud_url}"

generation:
  service: suno

Edge Cases

Config exists but is invalid YAML

  • Back up the existing file: config.yaml.bak
  • Offer to create fresh config

Directory doesn't exist

  • Offer to create it: "Directory ~/music-projects doesn't exist. Create it?"

User provides relative path

  • Expand to absolute: ./projects β†’ /Users/name/projects
  • Or use ~ prefix: ~/projects

Remember

  • Preserve exact casing - If user says "bitwize", write "bitwize" not "Bitwize"
  • Always expand ~ in paths for display
  • Create directories if they don't exist (with permission)
  • Back up existing config before overwriting
  • Validate after any changes
  • Be friendly and explain what each setting does
