npx skills add MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-Music3 --skill music-caption-rewriter -a claude-codeWhat music-caption-rewriter does
The skill converts rough musical prompts into structured captions for MiniMax Music 3. It outputs three distinct sections: global metadata, vocal specifications, and an arrangement timeline. If lyrics contain bracketed tags, the skill translates those directives into section-level changes while leaving the broader genre intact. The lyrics are never copied directly.
Rather than calling external APIs or searching an entire catalog, the tool relies on local markdown files. It consults a genre router, inspects a primary style family, and extracts up to three reference cards. These cards provide the foundation, modifier, and timeline logic. The workflow avoids running scripts, databases, or vector embeddings.
It depends on the local template files from the repository. Without those files at hand, style routing simply fails.
What it helps with
- turn rough song ideas into structured MiniMax Music 3 captions
- translate bracketed lyric directives into musical timeline changes
- fuse two musical genres into one coherent production prompt
- prepare caption data for JSON or JSONL generation workflows
Example prompts for the agent
- Turn this acoustic folk description into a structured MiniMax Music 3 prompt
- Blend synthwave with orchestral strings and output a section timeline
- Create a MiniMax Music 3 caption preserving the bracketed bridge and chorus directives
