Recoup — Manage Artist

Operate inside an existing artist's workspace at artists/{artist-slug}/. RECOUP.md (frontmatter artistName/artistSlug/artistId) is the identity file.

Layout

context/artist.md (who they are — static), context/audience.md (static), context/images/face-guide.png, releases/{slug}/RELEASE.md (the release master doc), songs/{slug}/{slug}.mp3. Nothing is pre-created — add files when real content arrives; never write placeholder tokens.

Static vs dynamic context

Update artist.md/audience.md deliberately (they're the source of truth other skills read); treat research/release docs as time-bound — archive when stale. Commit {what}: {why}; the git log is the per-artist progress log.

Guardrails

• No placeholder data in artist files — real content or leave the section out.
• Don't overwrite static context casually — artist.md changes are deliberate evolutions; note the why in the commit.
• Never invent a roster/artist — empty filesystem ≠ empty roster; confirm via recoup-platform-api-access first.
