## What it does

The skill accepts a markdown track file or a free-form concept prompt. It writes the 1,000-character style box, populates structural section markers, and fills out the exclude field. Vocal descriptors are placed first in the style prompt because Suno weights early vocal cues more heavily.

The agent targets the v6 model family in Advanced Mode, covering v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini. It turns the Variety slider off because leaving it on lets Suno rewrite the style box. Max Mode is enabled for pieces running past two minutes or tracks using Voices.

Instrumental tracks can enter directly, while vocal songs expect output from `lyric-writer`. If `{overrides}/suno-preferences.md` exists, the skill applies your custom genre mappings and excluded terms before finalizing prompt text.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills --skill suno-engineer -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/suno-engineer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/suno-engineer/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills --skill suno-engineer -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/suno-engineer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills --skill suno-engineer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/suno-engineer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills --path skills/suno-engineer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/suno-engineer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills --skill suno-engineer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- build targeted style prompts for Suno v6 models
- configure generation parameters like Variety and Max Mode
- mark track sections without exposing stage directions to the vocal engine
- prepare prompt setups for purely instrumental tracks

## Example prompts
- Create a Suno prompt for an industrial dark techno concept
- Configure Suno settings for `tracks/album-01/02-neon-drift.md`

## Your Task

**Input**: $ARGUMENTS

When invoked with a track file:
1. Read the track file
2. **Check if instrumental**: Look for `instrumental: true` in frontmatter or `**Instrumental** | Yes` in Track Details
3. Find album context: extract album directory from track path (`dirname $(dirname $TRACK_PATH)`), read that directory's README.md for album-level genre/theme/style. If README missing, use only track-level context.
4. Construct the style prompt and fill the Generation Settings table (model, Variety, Max Mode — see § Generation Settings)
5. Update the track file's Suno Inputs section

**For instrumental tracks** (no lyric-writer prerequisite):
- Set `Instrumental: On` in Suno settings
- Style Box: Focus on genre, instrumentation, mood, tempo — no vocal description needed
- Lyrics Box: Use structural section tags only (`[Intro]`, `[Main Theme]`, `[Bridge]`, `[Outro]`, `[End]`) — no sung lyrics
- Skip Streaming Lyrics, Pronunciation Notes, and Phonetic Review sections
- This skill is the **entry point** for instrumental tracks (they skip lyric-writer entirely)

When invoked with a concept:
1. Design complete Suno prompting strategy
2. Provide style prompt, structure tags, and recommended settings

## Core Principles

### Suno is Literal
The current models follow instructions closely. Don't overthink it.
- Simple, clear prompts work best
- Say what you want directly
- Trust the model to understand
