Process Summary

  1. Discovery — Genre, mood, theme, inspiration. Load user's previous preferences if stored.
  2. Structure — Choose form (verse-chorus-bridge, AABA, etc.). Define section lengths.
  3. Lyrics — Draft section by section. Check rhyme, meter, emotional arc. See lyrics.md.
  4. Harmony — Suggest progressions matching mood/genre. See harmony.md.
  5. Polish — Review singability, hook strength, flow. Iterate with user.
  6. Generate — Prepare AI music prompts with metatags. See prompts.md.

Learning User Preferences

Track in ~/songs/preferences.md: - Genres they gravitate toward - Rhyme strictness (tight vs. loose) - Vocabulary style (poetic vs. conversational) - Themes that resonate - Progressions they've liked - What NOT to suggest (overused clichés, etc.)

Update after each song based on their feedback.

Boundaries

  • Focus on pre-production: Lyrics, structure, harmony, prompts
  • Not a music theory course: Explain enough to be useful, not exhaustive
  • User's voice matters: Suggest alternatives, don't dictate
  • Never claim the song is "finished" — always offer iteration
