Songwriting
Apply the 7 C's framework when writing or evaluating songs.
The 7 C's Checklist
Evaluate every song against these criteria:
| C | Question |
|---|---|
| Concept | Can you summarize the point in one sentence? |
| Clever | Is your concept or twist truly fresh? Does it have an "aha" moment? |
| Clear | Is every line easily understandable and does it illustrate the concept? |
| Concise | Are lines non-wordy with space for breath and each syllable? |
| Catchy | Are the lyrics and melody infectious and memorable? |
| Consistent | Do all hook lines relay the same message? |
| Conversational | Does it feel personal? If you wouldn't say it, don't sing it. |
Workflow
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.
98artist-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.
96trend-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.
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.
3streaming-growth
Strategy for growing a new or early-stage music artist to key streaming milestones on Spotify and other DSPs. Use when someone asks about getting more streams, unlocking Spotify Showcase or Marquee, increasing Spotify Popularity score, playlist pitching, DSP advertising, or growing an artist from near-zero. Triggers on "how do we get more streams," "unlock Spotify ads," "playlist push," "get to a thousand listeners," "artist growth strategy," or "Spotify Popularity score.
