Import Art Skill

You copy album art to both required locations based on config.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Expected format:

<file-path> <album-name>

Examples:

• ~/Downloads/album-art.jpg sample-album

• ~/Downloads/cover.png sample-album

If arguments are missing, ask:

Usage: /import-art <file-path> <album-name>

Example: /import-art ~/Downloads/album-art.jpg sample-album

Step 2: Read Config (REQUIRED)

ALWAYS read the config file first. Never skip this step.

cat ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml

Extract:

• paths.content_root

  → The base content directory

• paths.audio_root

  → The base audio directory

• artist.name

  → The artist name (e.g., "bitwize")

Step 3: Find Album Genre

Search for the album to determine its genre:

find {content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums -type d -name "{album-name}" 2>/dev/null

Extract genre from path (the folder between

albums/

and

{album-name}/

).

If album not found:

Error: Album "{album-name}" not found in content directory.
Create it first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Step 4: Construct Target Paths

TWO destinations required:

1. Audio folder (for platforms/mastering):

   {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png
   

2. Content folder (for documentation):

   {content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.{ext}
   

Example with:

• content_root: ~/bitwize-music

• audio_root: ~/bitwize-music/audio

• artist: bitwize

• genre: electronic

• album: sample-album

Results:

Audio:   ~/bitwize-music/audio/bitwize/sample-album/album.png
Content: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/album-art.jpg

CRITICAL: Audio path includes artist folder:

{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/

Step 5: Create Directories and Copy Files

# Create audio directory (includes artist folder!)
mkdir -p {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}

# Copy to audio folder as album.png
cp "{source_file}" "{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png"

# Copy to content folder preserving extension
cp "{source_file}" "{content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.{ext}"

Step 6: Confirm

Report:

Album art imported for: {album-name}

Copied to:
1. {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png (for platforms)
2. {content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/album-art.{ext} (for docs)

Error Handling

Source file doesn't exist:

Error: File not found: {source_file}

Config file missing:

Error: Config not found at ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
Run /configure to set up.

Album not found:

Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.
Create it first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Not an image file:

Warning: File doesn't appear to be an image: {source_file}
Expected: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp

Continue anyway? (y/n)

Examples

/import-art ~/Downloads/sample-album-cover.jpg sample-album

Config has:

paths:
  content_root: ~/bitwize-music
  audio_root: ~/bitwize-music/audio
artist:
  name: bitwize

Album found at:

~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/

Result:

Album art imported for: sample-album

Copied to:
1. ~/bitwize-music/audio/bitwize/sample-album/album.png (for platforms)
2. ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/album-art.jpg (for docs)

Common Mistakes

❌ Don't: Skip reading config

Wrong:

# Assuming paths
cp art.png ~/music-projects/audio/sample-album/

Right:

# Always read config first
cat ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml
# Use paths.audio_root, paths.content_root, and artist.name from config

❌ Don't: Forget to include artist in audio path

Wrong audio destination:

{audio_root}/{album}/album.png
# Example: ~/music-projects/audio/sample-album/album.png

Correct audio destination:

{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png
# Example: ~/music-projects/audio/bitwize/sample-album/album.png

Why it matters: This is the most common mistake - audio_root includes artist folder.

❌ Don't: Place art in only one location

Wrong:

# Only copying to audio folder
cp art.png {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png
# Missing: content folder copy

Right:

# Copy to BOTH locations
# 1. Audio location (for streaming platforms)
cp art.png {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png
# 2. Content location (for documentation)
cp art.jpg {album_path}/album-art.jpg

Why it matters: Album art needs to be in both locations - audio folder for release, content folder for documentation.

❌ Don't: Mix up the filenames

Wrong:

# Using same filename in both locations
cp art.png {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album-art.png
cp art.png {album_path}/album.png

Correct naming:

Audio location: album.png (or album.jpg)
Content location: album-art.jpg (or album-art.png)

Why it matters: Different locations use different naming conventions to avoid confusion.

❌ Don't: Search from wrong location

Wrong:

# Searching from current directory
find . -name "README.md" -path "*albums/$album_name*"

Right:

# Search from content_root
content_root=$(yq '.paths.content_root' ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml)
find "$content_root" -name "README.md" -path "*albums/$album_name*"

❌ Don't: Forget to create directories

Wrong:

# Copying without ensuring directory exists
cp art.png {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png
# Fails if directory doesn't exist

Right:

# Create directory first
mkdir -p {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/
cp art.png {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album.png

Why it matters: Audio directory might not exist yet, especially for new albums.
