Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS
Import album art to both the audio folder and album content folder.

Import Art Skill

You copy album art to both required locations based on config.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Expected format: 
<file-path> <album-name>
Examples:
  • ~/Downloads/album-art.jpg sample-album
  • ~/Downloads/cover.png sample-album
If arguments are missing, ask:
Usage: /import-art <file-path> <album-name>

Example: /import-art ~/Downloads/album-art.jpg sample-album

Step 2: Find Album and Resolve Paths via MCP

  1. Call 
    find_album(album_name)
    — fuzzy match, returns album metadata including genre
  2. Call 
    resolve_path("audio", album_slug)
    — returns audio directory path
  3. Call 
    resolve_path("content", album_slug)
    — returns content directory path
If album not found:
Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.
Create it first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Step 3: Construct Target Paths

TWO destinations required (paths from MCP 
resolve_path
calls):
  1. Audio folder (for platforms/mastering): 
    {audio_path}/album.png
  2. Content folder (for documentation): 
    {content_path}/album-art.{ext}
CRITICAL: 
resolve_path
includes the artist folder automatically.

Step 4: Create Directories and Copy Files

bash
# Create audio directory (includes artist folder!)
mkdir -p {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}

# Copy to audio folder as album.png
cp "{source_file}" "{audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png"

# Copy to content folder preserving extension
cp "{source_file}" "{content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.{ext}"

Step 5: Confirm

Report:
Album art imported for: {album-name}

Copied to:
1. {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png (for platforms)
2. {content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.{ext} (for docs)

Error Handling

Source file doesn't exist:
Error: File not found: {source_file}
Config file missing:
Error: Config not found at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Run /configure to set up.
Album not found:
Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.
Create it first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>
Not an image file:
Warning: File doesn't appear to be an image: {source_file}
Expected: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp

Continue anyway? (y/n)

Examples

/import-art ~/Downloads/sample-album-cover.jpg sample-album
Config has:
yaml
paths:
  content_root: ~/bitwize-music
  audio_root: ~/bitwize-music/audio
artist:
  name: bitwize
Album found at: 
~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/
Result:
Album art imported for: sample-album

Copied to:
1. ~/bitwize-music/audio/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/album.png (for platforms)
2. ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/album-art.jpg (for docs)

Common Mistakes

❌ Don't: Manually read config and construct paths

Wrong:
bash
cat ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
cp art.png ~/music-projects/audio/sample-album/
Right:
# Use MCP to find album and resolve both paths
find_album(album_name) → returns album metadata
resolve_path("audio", album_slug) → audio path with artist folder
resolve_path("content", album_slug) → content path with genre
Why it matters: 
resolve_path
handles config reading, artist folder, and genre resolution automatically.

❌ Don't: Place art in only one location

Wrong:
bash
# Only copying to audio folder
cp art.png {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png
# Missing: content folder copy
Right:
bash
# Copy to BOTH locations
# 1. Audio location (for streaming platforms)
cp art.png {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png
# 2. Content location (for documentation)
cp art.jpg {album_path}/album-art.jpg
Why it matters: Album art needs to be in both locations - audio folder for release, content folder for documentation.

❌ Don't: Mix up the filenames

Wrong:
bash
# Using same filename in both locations
cp art.png {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.png
cp art.png {album_path}/album.png
Correct naming:
Audio location: album.png (or album.jpg)
Content location: album-art.jpg (or album-art.png)
Why it matters: Different locations use different naming conventions to avoid confusion.

❌ Don't: Search for albums manually

Wrong:
bash
find . -name "README.md" -path "*albums/$album_name*"
Right:
find_album(album_name) → returns album data including path and genre

❌ Don't: Forget to create directories

Wrong:
bash
# Copying without ensuring directory exists
cp art.png {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png
# Fails if directory doesn't exist
Right:
bash
# Create directory first
mkdir -p {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/
cp art.png {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album.png
Why it matters: Audio directory might not exist yet, especially for new albums.
