cp -r music-studio-ops ~/.claude/skills/npx ai-agent-skills install bedouhammad/music-studio-opsClaude scans all available skills at the start of each session using only the skill name and description (~100 tokens). When your message matches the skill's scope — a project brief, a revision request, a delivery question — Claude loads the full SKILL.md and applies its frameworks to your task.
You don't need to say "use the skill." Just describe what you're working on and Claude activates it automatically.
This skill is a starting point, not a rigid system. Fork it and customize:
- Add your studio's specific client types or markets
- Replace generic examples with your actual project naming conventions
- Add new production categories relevant to your work (podcast production, live event sound, etc.)
- Extend the region guide with markets you operate in
- Add internal rate cards, budget tiers, or pricing frameworks to the proposals domain
