Album Ideas Manager

Captures and tracks album concepts in an IDEAS.md backlog with pending / in-progress / complete status flow.

Content & WritingIntermediate473110AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 2, 2026

What it does

  • Stores album concepts in a single IDEAS.md file using a fixed format: genre, type, concept, notes, date added, status.
  • Offers list, add, remove, status, show, and edit commands, with defined console output layouts for each.
  • Creates the file from a template if missing and resolves its path from MCP config via get_config() / get_ideas().
  • Hooks into a broader workflow: session start summarizes pending ideas, and moving an idea to In Progress checks whether the album directory exists.

Who it's for

  • AI music creators who work album-by-album, especially users of the bitwize-music plugin/MCP server.
  • Anyone whose album concepts are scattered across notes apps and never get revisited.
  • Creators who want a clear boundary between idea backlog and albums already in production.

Examples

  1. "list" → prints grouped sections: 3 pending, 1 in progress, 2 complete, with concept snippets.
  2. "add The Great Molasses Flood" → interactively asks for genre (folk), type (Documentary) and concept, then appends it under Pending.
  3. "status Linux Kernel Wars in-progress" → moves the entry and suggests /bitwize-music:new-album if no album folder exists yet.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/album-ideas folder from the GitHub repo bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/album-ideas/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills.git /tmp/claude-ai-music-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-ai-music-skills/skills/album-ideas ~/.claude/skills/

This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-ai-music-skills/skills/album-ideas ~/.claude/skills/
  5. (Recommended) Install and register the repo's bitwize-music MCP server, since the skill calls get_config, get_ideas, and find_album.
  6. Restart Claude Code and try: "list my album ideas".
  7. Without MCP, manually create an IDEAS.md in your content folder and tell Claude where it lives.
