music-brief

music-brief is a skill for Claude Code from P47Phoenix/Claude-Plugins. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A songwriting intake guide that turns a short request into a defined song type and a brief. It asks only for missing information and refuses some requests, such as parody or named-artist requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It detects one of the supported song types, gathers required details, and writes the brief and run configuration without writing song lyrics or music.
Why use it?
It prevents the song-making process from starting with an unclear brief or the wrong workflow. It also checks source information for adaptation and lyric-extension requests.

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

music-brief 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 2d 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.

Design Principle

Intake runs inline and writes only brief.md, .song/config.yml (when absent), and .song/active. It never writes song content: no title, hook, lyric, or chord. Song type is a per-run decision, not a project setting. Routing lives in music-team/references/shared/song-types.md; this skill detects the type and hands the declaration to music-flow. Per-type required keys: music-team/skills/music-brief/references/intake-keys.md.

Phase 1: Song Type Detection

Detection is cheap pattern work; run it on the phase_1_detector_model (haiku) when delegated. Walk the rows of song-types.md in priority order and stop at the first match:

PARODY_ADAPT, REVISE, THEORY, ADAPT_GENRE, AUGMENT_LYRICS, REWRITE, TOPLINE, INSTRUMENTAL, JINGLE, LYRICS_ONLY, FULL_SONG (default).

Steps

  1. Read config. Read .song/config.yml if present. When absent, copy music-team/.song.config.yml.example to .song/config.yml and announce it. (mkdir -p .song first.)
  2. Explicit override. When routing.force_type is set, detection still runs and its result is logged, but routing uses the pin. Announce on every run: FORCED TYPE: <pin> (detected: <T>). REVISE is never forced; a force_type of REVISE is ignored with a one-line warning.
  3. PARODY_ADAPT first. Signals: "parody", "to the tune of", "in the style of ", "like 's song", or a references/shared/blocked-targets.txt entry (whole phrase, case-insensitive) used as a target. "In the style of " is not a signal. On a match reply with the refusal sentence below and stop (see Refusal).
  4. REVISE only with a finished run. Read .song/active; if it names a slug whose .song/<slug>/state.json has status: complete and the request is a change ("make the chorus punchier", "change the key", "swap verse two"), the type is REVISE. With no finished run, ignore the REVISE row and continue down the list.
  5. Remaining rows in order: THEORY (question about a progression, mode, cadence, no song deliverable), ADAPT_GENRE (supplied lyric or chords plus a target genre), AUGMENT_LYRICS (supplied lyric plus "add a verse", "bridge", "extend"), then REWRITE, TOPLINE, INSTRUMENTAL, JINGLE, LYRICS_ONLY, FULL_SONG. Apply the reducers from song-types.md: ADAPT_GENRE with no supplied source becomes FULL_SONG in that genre; AUGMENT_LYRICS with only "fix/tighten/polish" becomes REWRITE.
  6. Ambiguity. When two rows tie after the reducers, ask one question naming both candidates ("Do you want me to write new material, or adapt the lyric you pasted?") and re-run steps 3-5 on the answer. Do not guess between a creative type and a refusal.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
