Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Import a track markdown file (.md) to the correct album location based on config.

Import Track Skill

You move track markdown files to the correct location in the user's content directory.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Expected format: <file-path> <album-name> [track-number]

Examples:

~/Downloads/track.md sample-album 03
~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md sample-album 03
~/Downloads/03-t-day-beach.md sample-album (number already in filename)

If arguments are missing, ask:

Usage: /import-track <file-path> <album-name> [track-number]

Example: /import-track ~/Downloads/track.md sample-album 03

Step 2: Find Album and Resolve Path via MCP

Call find_album(album_name) — fuzzy match by name, slug, or partial. Returns album metadata including genre.
Call resolve_path("tracks", album_slug) — returns the full tracks directory path

If album not found, MCP returns available albums:

Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.

Available albums:
[list from MCP response]

Create album first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Step 4: Construct Target Path

The target path is ALWAYS:

{content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/tracks/{XX}-{track-name}.md

Example with:

content_root: ~/bitwize-music
artist: bitwize
genre: electronic (found from album location)
album: sample-album
track-number: 03
track-name: t-day-beach

Result:

~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/03-t-day-beach.md

Track numbering:

If track number provided, use it (zero-padded: 03)
If filename already has number prefix (e.g., 03-name.md), preserve it
If neither, ask user for track number

Step 5: Move File

mv "{source_file}" "{target_path}"

Step 6: Confirm

Report:

Moved: {source_file}
   To: {target_path}

Error Handling

Source file doesn't exist:

Error: File not found: {source_file}

Config file missing:

Error: Config not found at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Run /configure to set up.

Album not found:

Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.
Create it first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Track already exists:

Warning: Track already exists at destination.
Overwrite? (The original was not moved)

Examples

/import-track ~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md sample-album 03

Config has:

paths:
  content_root: ~/bitwize-music
artist:
  name: bitwize

Album found at: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/

Result:

Moved: ~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md
   To: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/03-t-day-beach.md

Common Mistakes

❌ Don't: Manually read config and search for albums

Wrong:

cat ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
find . -name "README.md" -path "*albums/$album_name*"

Right:

# Use MCP to find album and resolve path
find_album(album_name) → returns album metadata with genre
resolve_path("tracks", album_slug) → returns full tracks directory path

Why it matters: MCP handles config reading, fuzzy matching, and path resolution in single calls.

❌ Don't: Forget the tracks/ subdirectory

Wrong destination:

{album_path}/01-track.md
# Example: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/01-track.md

Correct destination:

{album_path}/tracks/01-track.md
# Example: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/01-track.md

Why it matters: Tracks always go in the tracks/ subdirectory within the album folder.

❌ Don't: Skip track number validation

Wrong:

# Not validating track number format
mv track.md {album_path}/tracks/$track_num-track.md
# Could result in: 3-track.md instead of 03-track.md

Right:

# Ensure zero-padding
track_num=$(printf "%02d" $track_num)
mv track.md {album_path}/tracks/$track_num-track.md
# Results in: 03-track.md

Why it matters: Track numbers must be zero-padded (01, 02, 03...) for proper sorting.

❌ Don't: Assume album location without searching

Wrong:

# Guessing album is in electronic genre
mv track.md ~/music-projects/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/

Right:

# Use MCP to find the album (handles genre resolution)
find_album(album_name) → returns album metadata including genre and path

Why it matters: Albums are organized by genre. find_album resolves the genre automatically.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take bitwize-music-studio/import-track from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
