# recoup-platform-build-os

Scaffolds a working OS for a music business inside your repo: folder structure, a self-managing CLAUDE.md, a plugin with skills and health checks.

## What it does

The skill walks the agent through phases and turns a kickoff input into a living workspace: a folder and file tree, a `CLAUDE.md` mirrored to `AGENTS.md`, a `plugin/` directory holding an in-place installable plugin with skills inside, plus a janitor skill backed by a read-only `{domain}-doctor` check. The plugin is named `{DOMAIN_SLUG}-os` by default and ships manifests and adapters for Claude, Cursor and Codex.

The domain follows the actual work rather than a template. Artist and release operations use `artists/` with releases under each artist; publishing uses `compositions/` and `parties/`; audit, royalty reconciliation and acquisitions use `cases/` with scope, evidence and stage records. An empty roster is fine, and there is no reason to invent an artist account for composition work. Verified artists are mirrored into `artists/{artist-slug}/RECOUP.md` with `artistName`, `artistSlug` and the real `artistId` — IDs are never made up.

Secrets stay out of versioned material: when REST access is needed, the skill seeds an `.env.example` listing variable names and a `.gitignore` that excludes real credentials. MCP OAuth credentials are not copied into files. A business without artists, catalog valuation or a recurring task still gets its doctor and dashboard templates filled in for the chosen spine, because otherwise health checks fail for no good reason.
