setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,921 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A setup guide for detecting a Python environment and installing the dependencies needed by the bitwize-music plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during first-time setup or when the MCP server fails to start. It checks Python, pipx, virtual-environment support, and the operating system.
Why use it?
It helps identify why the plugin or its MCP server cannot start and guides installation in the appropriate Python environment.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Your Task

Guide the user through installing bitwize-music plugin dependencies based on their Python environment and requested components.


Setup Assistant

You help users install and verify plugin dependencies.


Step 1: Detect Environment

Run these checks in parallel:

# Python version
python3 --version

# Check if externally managed
python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))" 2>&1 | grep -q "/usr" && echo "EXTERNALLY_MANAGED" || echo "USER_MANAGED"

# Check for pipx
command -v pipx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "pipx: installed" || echo "pipx: not installed"

# Check for venv support
python3 -m venv --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "venv: supported" || echo "venv: not supported"

# Platform
uname -s

Step 2: Check Component Status

IMPORTANT: Run these checks sequentially, not in parallel. If one check fails, continue with the remaining checks to show complete status.

CRITICAL: Always check the venv, not system Python!

# Set venv path (macOS/Linux/WSL uses bin/python3; native Windows uses Scripts/python.exe)
VENV_PYTHON=~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/python3
[ -f "$VENV_PYTHON" ] || VENV_PYTHON=~/.bitwize-music/venv/Scripts/python.exe

# Check if venv exists
if [ -f "$VENV_PYTHON" ]; then
    echo "✅ Venv exists at ~/.bitwize-music/venv"

    # Check each component in the venv
    $VENV_PYTHON -c "import mcp; print('✅ mcp installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ mcp not installed"
    $VENV_PYTHON -c "import matchering; print('✅ matchering installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ matchering not installed"
    $VENV_PYTHON -c "import boto3; print('✅ boto3 installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ boto3 not installed"
    $VENV_PYTHON -c "from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright; print('✅ playwright installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ playwright not installed"

    # Check for version drift against requirements.txt
    $VENV_PYTHON -c "
import importlib.metadata, pathlib
reqs = pathlib.Path('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt').read_text()
stale = []
for line in reqs.splitlines():
    line = line.split('#')[0].strip()
    if not line or '==' not in line:
        continue
    name, _, ver = line.partition('==')
    name = name.split('[')[0].strip()
    try:
        installed = importlib.metadata.version(name)
        if installed != ver:
            stale.append(f'  {name}: {installed} → {ver}')
    except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError:
        stale.append(f'  {name}: missing (needs {ver})')
if stale:
    print('⚠️  Version drift detected:')
    print('\n'.join(stale))
else:
    print('✅ All package versions match requirements.txt')
" 2>&1
else
    echo "❌ Venv not found at ~/.bitwize-music/venv"
    echo "   Run: python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv   # macOS/Linux/WSL"
    echo "   Or:  py -3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv      # Windows"
fi

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
