Claude-ai-music-skills setup
Detects your Python environment and guides you through installing plugin dependencies. Use on first-time setup or when MCP server fails to start.

Your Task
Guide the user through installing bitwize-music plugin dependencies based on their Python environment and requested components.
Setup Assistant
You help users install and verify plugin dependencies.
Step 1: Detect Environment
Run these checks in parallel:
# Python version python3 --version # Check if externally managed python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))" 2>&1 | grep -q "/usr" && echo "EXTERNALLY_MANAGED" || echo "USER_MANAGED" # Check for pipx command -v pipx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "pipx: installed" || echo "pipx: not installed" # Check for venv support python3 -m venv --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "venv: supported" || echo "venv: not supported" # Platform uname -s
Step 2: Check Component Status
IMPORTANT: Run these checks sequentially, not in parallel. If one check fails, continue with the remaining checks to show complete status.
CRITICAL: Always check the venv, not system Python!
# Set venv path VENV_PYTHON=~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/python3 # Check if venv exists if [ -f "$VENV_PYTHON" ]; then echo "✅ Venv exists at ~/.bitwize-music/venv" # Check each component in the venv $VENV_PYTHON -c "import mcp; print('✅ mcp installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ mcp not installed" $VENV_PYTHON -c "import matchering; print('✅ matchering installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ matchering not installed" $VENV_PYTHON -c "import boto3; print('✅ boto3 installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ boto3 not installed" $VENV_PYTHON -c "from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright; print('✅ playwright installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ playwright not installed" # Check for version drift against requirements.txt $VENV_PYTHON -c " import importlib.metadata, pathlib reqs = pathlib.Path('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt').read_text() stale = [] for line in reqs.splitlines(): line = line.split('#')[0].strip() if not line or '==' not in line: continue name, _, ver = line.partition('==') name = name.split('[')[0].strip() try: installed = importlib.metadata.version(name) if installed != ver: stale.append(f' {name}: {installed} → {ver}') except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: stale.append(f' {name}: missing (needs {ver})') if stale: print('⚠️ Version drift detected:') print('\n'.join(stale)) else: print('✅ All package versions match requirements.txt') " 2>&1 else echo "❌ Venv not found at ~/.bitwize-music/venv" echo " Run: python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv" fi
All components are installed together in the venv via requirements.txt.
Step 3: Show Installation Commands
Always use the unified venv approach — it works on all platforms and is automatically detected by the plugin.
# Create unified venv (if it doesn't exist) python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv # Install ALL plugin dependencies ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt # Set up document hunter browser ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium
That's it! The plugin automatically detects and uses
~/.bitwize-music/venv. No configuration needed.
Works on:
- ✅ Linux (externally-managed Python)
- ✅ macOS
- ✅ Windows (WSL)
- ✅ All other systems
Step 4: Installation Guide
Present a clear, simple installation guide:
- Environment detected: [Python version, Platform]
- Missing components: [list what needs to be installed]
- Installation commands:
python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium - After installation:
- Restart Claude Code to reload the plugin
- MCP server should show as running in
status/plugin - Run
again to verify/bitwize-music:setup
Step 5: Verify Installation (if requested)
After user reports they've installed, re-run the checks from Step 2 and confirm:
✅ MCP server: Ready ✅ Audio mastering: Ready ✅ Cloud uploads: Ready ✅ Document hunter: Ready
Next steps: Run
/bitwize-music:configure to set up your workspace paths.
Output Format
Use clear sections with checkboxes for status:
## bitwize-music Setup ### Environment - Python: 3.12.3 - System: Linux ### Component Status - [❌] MCP server - [❌] Audio mastering - [❌] Cloud uploads - [❌] Document hunter ### Installation Run these commands to install all plugin dependencies: ```bash # Create unified venv python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv # Install ALL dependencies ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt # Set up browser ~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium
After installation:
- Restart Claude Code
- All components will work automatically
- Run
to verify/bitwize-music:setup
The plugin automatically detects
~/.bitwize-music/venv — everything just works!
--- ## Remember - **Be specific** - show exact commands for their environment - **Prioritize user install** for externally-managed Python - **Explain what each component does** so they can decide what to install - **Test commands work** before suggesting them - **Clear next steps** after installation
