SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious manual work of calculating Strudel cycle counts and structuring full-length music tracks with standard arrangement sections, which requires specialized knowledge of the platform's timing and composition patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Cycle Calculation: Automatically computes the correct number of Strudel cycles for any target track duration and BPM, eliminating manual math errors.
  • Genre Template Guidance: Provides pre-built, unique arrangement examples for metal, melodic techno, UK garage, lo-fi, and synthwave to inspire original track creation.
  • Structured Output Format: Enforces a consistent, engaging presentation format for generated tracks including title, emotional journey table, sound arsenal, and closing vibe line.
  • Use Case: If you want to create a 4-minute synthwave track with a dark, 80s aesthetic, this Skill handles all timing and arrangement structure so you can focus on customizing sounds and patterns to make the track unique.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to use the compose skill to generate a 3-minute lo-fi track with rain sounds and a mellow, late-night vibe.
