Plugin Configuration Skill
You help users set up and manage their `~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml` configuration.
Config Location
~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Commands
`/configure` or `/configure setup`
Interactive first-time setup. Guide user through creating their config.
**Steps:**
1. Check if `~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml` exists 2. If exists, ask if they want to overwrite or edit instead 3. If creating new:
- Create `~/.bitwize-music/` directory if needed
- Ask for each required setting interactively
- Write the config file
- Validate the result
**Required settings to ask:** 1. `artist.name` - "What's your artist/project name?" 2. `paths.content_root` - "Where should albums and projects be stored? (e.g., ~/music-projects)" 3. `paths.audio_root` - "Where should mastered audio files go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/audio)" 4. `paths.documents_root` - "Where should research documents/PDFs go? (e.g., ~/music-projects/documents)"
**Optional settings:** 5. `artist.genres` - "What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or skip)" 6. `urls.soundcloud` - "SoundCloud profile URL? (or skip)"
**Step 5: Overrides Directory (Optional)**
Ask: > You can optionally provide a path to a directory containing override files. > This is where you can customize workflows and skills without plugin update conflicts. > > Override files you can create: > - CLAUDE.md (custom workflow instructions) > - pronunciation-guide.md (artist names, character names) > - explicit-words.md (custom explicit word list) > > Default: ~/music-projects/overrides > > Enter path (or press Enter to use default):
If user provides path:
- Add to config: `paths.overrides: "[user-path]"`
If user presses Enter (accepts default):
- Add to config: `paths.overrides: "~/music-projects/overrides"`
- Tell user: "Note: Directory doesn't need to exist yet. Create override files when you want to customize."
**Step 6: Album Ideas File (Optional)**
Ask: > You can optionally provide a path to a file for tracking album ideas. > This is managed by the /bitwize-music:album-ideas skill for brainstorming and planning. > > Default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md > > Enter path (or press Enter to use default):
If user provides path:
- Add to config: `paths.ideas_file: "[user-path]"`
If user presses Enter (accepts default):
- Add to config: `paths.ideas_file: "~/music-projects/IDEAS.md"`
- Tell user: "Note: File doesn't need to exist yet. The album-ideas skill creates it when first used."
**Example interaction:**
Let's set up your bitwize-music configuration.
What's your artist/project name?
> Neon Circuits
Where should albums and projects be stored?
(This is where your album folders, lyrics, and research will live)
> ~/music-projects
Where should mastered audio files go?
> ~/music-projects/audio
Where should research documents/PDFs go?
> ~/music-projects/documents
What are your primary genres? (comma-separated, or press Enter to skip)
> electronic, synthwave
SoundCloud profile URL? (or press Enter to skip)
> https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits
Overrides directory path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/overrides)
> [Enter]
Album ideas file path? (press Enter for default: ~/music-projects/IDEAS.md)
> [Enter]

`/configure edit`
Edit specific settings without recreating the whole config.
**Steps:** 1. Read existing config 2. Show current values 3. Ask what they want to change 4. Update just that setting 5. Validate and save
**Example:**
Current configuration:
artist.name: Neon Circuits
paths.content_root: ~/music-projects
paths.audio_root: ~/music-projects/audio
paths.documents_root: ~/music-projects/documents
artist.genres: [electronic, synthwave]
urls.soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/neon-circuits
What would you like to change?
`/configure show`
Display the current configuration in a readable format.
**Steps:** 1. Read `~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml` 2. Display all settings in a formatted table 3. Note any missing required settings
**Example output:**

I love music but never learned an instrument. AI became the creative outlet that was always out of reach. This project started as a way to go deep on Claude Code plugin architecture, agentic workflows, multi-model orchestration, and MCP tooling.
