Import Track

Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Import a track markdown file (.md) to the correct album location based on config.

Import Track Skill

You move track markdown files to the correct location in the user's content directory.

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Expected format: <file-path> <album-name> [track-number]

Examples:

• ~/Downloads/track.md sample-album 03
• ~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md sample-album 03
• ~/Downloads/03-t-day-beach.md sample-album (number already in filename)

If arguments are missing, ask:

Usage: /import-track <file-path> <album-name> [track-number]

Example: /import-track ~/Downloads/track.md sample-album 03

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
• artist.name → The artist name (e.g., "bitwize")

Step 3: Find Album and Determine Genre

Search for the album directory to find its genre:

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

If album not found:

Error: Album "{album-name}" not found.

Available albums:
[list albums found in artists/{artist}/albums/]

Create album first with: /new-album {album-name} <genre>

Step 4: Construct Target Path

The target path is ALWAYS:

{content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/tracks/{XX}-{track-name}.md

Example with:

• content_root: ~/bitwize-music
• artist: bitwize
• genre: electronic (found from album location)
• album: sample-album
• track-number: 03
• track-name: t-day-beach

Result:

~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/03-t-day-beach.md

Track numbering:

• If track number provided, use it (zero-padded: 03)
• If filename already has number prefix (e.g., 03-name.md), preserve it
• If neither, ask user for track number

Step 5: Move File

mv "{source_file}" "{target_path}"

Step 6: Confirm

Report:

Moved: {source_file}
   To: {target_path}

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>

Track already exists:

Warning: Track already exists at destination.
Overwrite? (The original was not moved)

Examples

/import-track ~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md sample-album 03

Config has:

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

Album found at: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/

Result:

Moved: ~/Downloads/t-day-beach.md
   To: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/03-t-day-beach.md

Common Mistakes

❌ Don't: Skip reading config

Wrong:

# Assuming content_root path
mv track.md ~/music-projects/artists/bitwize/albums/...

Right:

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

❌ 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*"

Why it matters: Album might not be in current working directory.

❌ Don't: Forget the tracks/ subdirectory

Wrong destination:

{album_path}/01-track.md
# Example: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/01-track.md

Correct destination:

{album_path}/tracks/01-track.md
# Example: ~/bitwize-music/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/01-track.md

Why it matters: Tracks always go in the tracks/ subdirectory within the album folder.

❌ Don't: Use hardcoded artist name

Wrong:

# Assuming artist is bitwize
find ~/music-projects/artists/bitwize/albums -name "README.md"

Right:

# Read artist.name from config
artist=$(yq '.artist.name' ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml)
find "$content_root/artists/$artist/albums" -name "README.md"

❌ Don't: Skip track number validation

Wrong:

# Not validating track number format
mv track.md {album_path}/tracks/$track_num-track.md
# Could result in: 3-track.md instead of 03-track.md

Right:

# Ensure zero-padding
track_num=$(printf "%02d" $track_num)
mv track.md {album_path}/tracks/$track_num-track.md
# Results in: 03-track.md

Why it matters: Track numbers must be zero-padded (01, 02, 03...) for proper sorting.

❌ Don't: Assume album location without searching

Wrong:

# Guessing album is in electronic genre
mv track.md ~/music-projects/artists/bitwize/albums/electronic/sample-album/tracks/

Right:

# Search for album across all genres
find "$content_root/artists/$artist/albums" -type d -name "$album_name"
# Album might be in hip-hop, electronic, folk, etc.

Why it matters: Albums are organized by genre. You need to find the album first, not assume its genre.
