What problem does it solve? Songwriters and arrangers often struggle to lay out a song's sections so they feel distinct, build toward the chorus, and fit a 3-5 minute runtime. This Skill provides the terminology, standard templates, and a backwards-from-the-chorus design method for structuring a song, plus the mapping needed to fill the form table of an ARR-SPEC. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Terminology Mapping: Aligns Japanese section vocabulary (A melo, B melo, sabi, oo-sabi) with Anglo-American terms (Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Bridge), flagging the two terms routinely mistranslated. - Standard Templates: Provides the royal-road J-POP template, ternary form, EDM/club variants, lead-in options, and the repetition-omission rule for multi-cycle songs. - Backwards Design Method: Designs each section by reasoning backwards from the chorus, with a six-dimension contrast checklist to keep adjacent sections from blurring together. - Use Case: When filling the form table of an ARR-SPEC for a new song, use this Skill to decide how many verse-chorus cycles to write, whether a bridge is needed, and how to map each section to English names for downstream compilation. ## Quick Start Use the mc-form skill to lay out the section structure of a mid-tempo J-POP ballad and fill in the form table of my ARR-SPEC.
