industry-research
Recoup Research
Music industry research through the recoup research CLI. All commands use RECOUP_API_KEY for auth. In sandboxes, this is already configured.
Before You Research
- Check if the artist has a workspace with
context/artist.md— don't re-research what's already known. - Decide what the user actually needs. "How's Drake doing?" needs 2-3 commands, not 20.
- Always use
--jsonwhen you'll process the output programmatically.
Decision Tree
Start here based on what the user asks:
"How is [artist] doing?" → metrics --source spotify + cities + insights
"Research [artist] for me" → Full chain: profile → parallel(metrics, audience, cities, similar, playlists) → web for narrative context → synthesize
"Who should I pitch to?" → similar --audience high --genre high → playlists on each peer → find playlists that have peers but not your artist
More from recoupable/skills
recoup-api
Call the Recoupable API from the sandbox to fetch artist data, socials, organizations, research, documents and any other platform resource — and to invoke external connector actions (Google Docs / Drive / Sheets edits, Gmail, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) via Recoupable's shared connections. Use whenever you're asked for Recoup data, a Recoupable platform resource, or to read/write something outside Recoup like a Google Doc URL or a spreadsheet. Triggers on phrases like "look up artist", "fetch from recoup", "artist data", "artist socials", "organizations", "artist report", "research", "create new artist", "create artist", "onboard artist", "add artist", "edit this Google Doc", "read this doc", "update the spreadsheet", "send an email", "post on TikTok", "save to Drive", or whenever the user pastes a docs.google.com / drive.google.com / sheets.google.com URL. Always load this before writing curl calls against recoup-api.vercel.app.
105artist-workspace
How to work in artist directories — including creating, enumerating, and editing them. Use when creating or onboarding a new artist ("create artist", "onboard X", "add this artist", "set up a new artist") — this skill scaffolds the artist's `RECOUP.md` checklist file and drives the multi-step setup from it. Use when adding or updating artist context (identity, brand, voice, audience), adding songs, organizing files inside an artist directory, or figuring out where something belongs. Also use when the account asks inventory questions like "what artists do I have", "list my artists", "which orgs am I in", "what's in this sandbox" — the filesystem tree is the authoritative answer. And use when the account mentions an artist by name and the task involves their files, context, or content — even if they don't say "artist directory." This includes tasks like researching an artist, creating content for an artist, updating an artist's brand, or adding a face guide.
103trend-to-song
Create songs and content campaigns from trending cultural moments. Use when someone identifies a trending topic, viral moment, reality TV drama, meme, or cultural event and wants to turn it into a song and distribution strategy. Also triggers on "make a song about this trend," "capitalize on this moment," "reverse engineer from the market," "cultural moment to song," "trend-jack," or "burner page strategy." This flips the traditional music workflow — instead of song-first then marketing, you go market-first then song.
3songwriting
Guide for writing and evaluating song lyrics and concepts. Use when brainstorming song ideas, writing lyrics, evaluating song drafts, refining hooks, or improving existing songs. Applies the 7 C's framework to ensure songs are memorable, clear, and authentic.
3getting-started
Set up Recoupable from scratch — install the CLI, get an API key, and make your first call. Use this skill when the user says "set up Recoupable", "install Recoup", "get an API key", "connect to Recoup", "use Recoupable", "onboard to Recoup", "how do I start", or when an agent needs to configure itself to use the Recoupable platform.
3chartmetric
Chartmetric music analytics API for streaming data, playlist placements, audience demographics, and competitive analysis. Use when the user needs artist/track/album analytics, playlist tracking, streaming metrics, audience insights, chart positions, similar artists, or any music industry data. Triggers on requests involving Spotify followers, monthly listeners, TikTok trends, Instagram audience, playlist pitching research, or competitive artist analysis.
