Album Validator Agent

Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS (album name, e.g., sample-album)

Validate that an album has all required files in the correct locations, catching path issues and missing content before they become problems.

Step 1: Load Config & Find Album

1. Call get_config() — returns paths (content_root, audio_root, documents_root) and artist.name

   • If config missing, STOP and report:

     [FAIL] Config file missing: ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
            Run /configure to set up the plugin.
     

2. Call find_album(album_name) — fuzzy match by name, slug, or partial

   • If not found, STOP and report (MCP returns available albums):

     [FAIL] Album not found: {album-name}
     

3. Optionally call validate_album_structure(album_slug) — runs structural validation checks and returns {passed, failed, warnings, skipped, issues[], checks[]}. This MCP tool handles directory structure, required files, audio placement, and track content checks in one call.

Note: The MCP validate_album_structure tool performs many of the checks below automatically. You can use its results directly or run the manual checks for more detailed reporting.

Step 3: Run Validations

• passed = 0
• failed = 0

Expected path: {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/

If audio in wrong location, add to issues:

→ Expected: {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/
→ Found at: {audio_root}/{album}/ (WRONG - missing artist folder)
→ Fix: mv {audio_root}/{album}/ {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/

For each track file in {album_path}/tracks/*.md:

1. Read the file
2. Check for required fields:
   • Status field exists
   • Suno Style Box exists (has ## Suno Inputs section)
   • Suno Lyrics Box exists
   • If Status is Generated or Final: Suno Link present
   • If documentary: Sources Verified status

Output per track:

• [PASS] {filename} - Status: {status}, Suno Link: {present/missing}
• [WARN] {filename} - Status: {status}, missing {what}
• [FAIL] {filename} - No Status field

Important Notes

1. Use MCP tools first - get_config(), find_album(), validate_album_structure() before manual checks
2. Check both correct AND wrong locations - Catch misplaced files
3. Provide actionable fixes - Include exact commands to fix issues
4. Use appropriate status - PASS/FAIL/WARN/SKIP based on severity
5. Count everything - Report totals in summary
