Input: $ARGUMENTS (album name)
Generate a structured progress dashboard for the specified album.
Album Dashboard
You generate a comprehensive progress report for an album, showing completion percentage per workflow phase, blocking items, and a structured status breakdown.
Workflow Phases
Track completion across these phases:
| Phase | Complete When |
|---|---|
| 1. Concept | Album README has title, genre, tracklist defined |
| 2. Research | RESEARCH.md and SOURCES.md exist (if source-based) |
| 3. Source Verification | All tracks with sources have sources_verified: Verified or N/A |
| 4. Lyrics | All tracks have lyrics in their Lyrics Box |
| 5. Pronunciation | All pronunciation table entries applied in lyrics |
| 6. Review | Lyrics reviewed (no critical issues remain) |
| 7. Generation | All tracks have has_suno_link: true |
| 8. Mastering | Audio files exist in {audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/ |
| 9. Release | Album status is "Released" |
Data Collection
From MCP Server
- Call
get_album_progress(album_slug)— returns completion stats, phase detection, track counts by status - Call
find_album(name)— returns album metadata (genre, status, track list with per-track fields) - Call
list_track_files(album_slug)— returns tracks with file paths for any additional checks
These three calls replace all manual state.json reads and file globbing.

Phase Completion Calculation
Concept Phase
- 100% if: Album README has title AND tracklist with actual track names (not template)
- 50% if: README exists but tracklist is template placeholder
- 0% if: No README
Research Phase (source-based albums only)
- 100% if: RESEARCH.md AND SOURCES.md both exist with content
- 50% if: Only one exists
- N/A if: Album is not source-based (no tracks have sources_verified field or all are N/A)
Source Verification Phase
- % = (tracks with Verified or N/A) / total tracks * 100
- Skip tracks where sources_verified is N/A for the denominator
Lyrics Phase
- % = (tracks with lyrics content) / total tracks * 100
Generation Phase
- % = (tracks with has_suno_link=true) / total tracks * 100
Mastering Phase
- Check
{audio_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/for WAV/FLAC files - % = (audio files found) / total tracks * 100
Release Phase
- 100% if album status is "Released", 0% otherwise
Remember
- Visual progress bars — Use ASCII progress bars for quick scanning
- Highlight blockers — Blocking items are the most important info
- Include next action — End with a clear recommendation
- Be accurate — Count carefully, don't estimate
- Handle missing data gracefully — If audio_root doesn't exist, mastering is 0%

git clone https://github.com/bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills/blob/main/skills/album-dashboard/SKILL.mdView on GitHub Overview
Generates a structured progress dashboard for a specified album, detailing completion by workflow phase, blocking items, and a status breakdown. This provides a quick visual overview of album progress and helps teams identify where attention is needed.
How This Skill Works
The skill gathers progress data from the MCP server via three calls: get_album_progress(album_slug), find_album(name), and list_track_files(album_slug). It then renders an ASCII dashboard showing per-phase completion percentages, a track status table, blocking items, and a summary with next actions, all aligned to the defined phase rules.
When to Use It
- Kick off a new album project to establish initial phase statuses.
- Prepare stakeholder or label updates with a concise progress snapshot.
- Identify and prioritize blocking items hindering momentum across tracks.
- Assess readiness for release, mastering, and final approvals.
- Compare multiple albums to allocate resources and focus.
Quick Start
- Step 1: Call get_album_progress(album_slug) to fetch completion stats and phase detection.
- Step 2: Call find_album(name) to retrieve album metadata (genre, status, track list).
- Step 3: Call list_track_files(album_slug) to verify media assets and additional checks.
Best Practices
- Ensure the album README contains a title, genre, and a defined tracklist for Concept phase accuracy.
- Keep RESEARCH.md and SOURCES.md up-to-date for accurate Source Verification percentages.
- Maintain per-track fields such as sources_verified and has_suno_link to reflect real progress.
- Refresh the dashboard data after completing each phase to reflect current status.
- Use the dashboard in team standups and reviews to drive concrete next actions.
Example Use Cases
- Aurora: Concept at 100% (title, genre, tracklist defined), Research at 100%, Source Verification at 100%, blocking items present but manageable, ready to proceed to lyrics.
- Midnight Echo: Source-based album with RESEARCH.md and SOURCES.md complete, Sources Verified, lyrics in progress, blockers minimal.
- Pulse: Mastering 0% due to missing audio files; several tracks lack has_suno_link, highlighting preparation needs before release.
- Nova: Release status Released with near-full phase completion; minor block on pronunciation application resolved in the standup.
- Horizon: Lyrics and pronunciation phases lag behind, multiple tracks waiting for lyrics and pronunciation fixes to unlock generation.
