## What it does

The skill operates inside an individual artist directory at `artists/{artist-slug}/`. It relies on `RECOUP.md` as the identity file with frontmatter fields for artist name, slug, and ID. Subfolders store static background in `context/artist.md` and `context/audience.md`, visual guides, release master files, and track audio.

Directories start empty. Files appear only when verified material arrives. The skill strictly bans placeholder tokens and fabricated roster entries. If the filesystem is empty, the roster must be confirmed via `recoup-platform-api-access` rather than assumed blank.

Every update requires a git commit following the `{what}: {why}` format. That requirement makes git history the official audit trail for each artist.
