What problem does it solve? Before a song, release, or creative project can be registered, licensed, or paid out, someone must know who owns what, which splits are confirmed, and which samples are cleared. This Skill finds and organizes those rights gaps into a structured evidence table so licensing, registry, and royalty-routing work builds on documented facts instead of guesses. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four audit lanes: rights-gap audit (ownership, contributors, splits, samples, licenses, provenance, public context), provenance mapping, licensing-discussion readiness, and royalty-routing readiness, run in A→B→C→D order. - Shared evidence and severity gate: every item is marked confirmed, inferred, unconfirmed, disputed, or unknown with a risk rating, and the ship gate maps mechanically to ready-for-review, blocked, or unknown. - Strict evidence boundaries: the audit never clears rights, confirms ownership, moves money, or writes to any registry; it organizes evidence and flags gaps for human and legal decision-makers. - Use Case: Before pitching a track for sync licensing, run the audit to produce a licensing brief listing confirmed rights facts, open questions, restrictions, and unsafe claims removed. ## Quick Start Use suede-rights-audit to find and organize the rights gaps in this release folder, covering ownership, contributors, splits, samples, licenses, and provenance, and report each item as confirmed or unknown.
