What problem does it solve? Creators preparing a music or media release often discover missing files, weak metadata, unconfirmed splits, or rights blockers only after a distributor or platform rejects the delivery. This Skill audits a local release folder offline and produces a scored readiness report before anything is shipped. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated folder linting: A bundled Python script inventories audio, video, artwork, lyrics, stems, and documents, then emits findings with error, warning, and info severities. - Scored reports: Generates release-lint-report.md and release-lint-report.json with a 0-100 score and a status band (blocked, needs-work, usable-with-cleanup, strong). - Metadata and rights checks: Validates title, artist, contributors, split totals, ownership confirmation, and sample clearance status against documented lint rules. - Use Case: A musician points the skill at an album folder before distribution and learns that publishing splits total 95 instead of 100, artwork is below 1400px, and sample clearance is unconfirmed, with concrete fixes for each. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to lint your release folder with suede-release-linter, for example: run the release linter on my album folder and give me the readiness score and top fixes.
