What this skill does
# Lyric Writing Write complete, emotionally resonant song lyrics with detailed structural annotations and embedded production notes for AI music generation. ## Overview This skill provides comprehensive lyric writing capabilities optimized for text-to-music AI platforms. It encompasses structural design, emotional mapping, hook development, and the embedding of production directions within the lyrics themselves. ## Capabilities ### Structural Composition - Write complete verse-chorus-bridge structures - Design pre-choruses and post-choruses - Create intros, outros, and instrumental breaks - Develop song sections with appropriate line counts - Balance repetition and variation ### Production Annotations - Embed delivery directions: `[whispered]`, `[spoken word]`, `[belt]` - Include dynamics: `[building]`, `[soft]`, `[crescendo]`, `[fade]` - Add vocal techniques: `[falsetto]`, `[raspy]`, `[breathy]` - Note harmonies and layers: `[harmony]`, `[double-tracked]` - Mark ad-lib sections: `[ad-lib]`, `[improvise]` ### Emotional Mapping - Design emotional arcs within songs - Create tension and release patterns - Build to climactic moments - Craft vulnerable, intimate sections - Balance intensity throughout ### Hook Development - Create memorable chorus hooks - Design catchy phrase patterns - Develop callback lines and motifs - Craft earworm melodies through syllabics ### Voice Consistency - Maintain artist persona throughout - Match lyrical style to genre - Keep thematic coherence - Preserve character voice ## Usage Guidelines ### Annotation Standards ``` [Verse 1] Opening lines that set the scene [building] Lines that increase in intensity [whispered] Intimate, soft delivery here [Pre-Chorus] [spoken word] Transition moment Building tension toward chorus [Chorus] [belt] Main hook with power Memorable, repeatable lines [harmony] Layered vocal moment [Bridge] [falsetto] Vulnerable high notes [raw] Emotionally exposed delivery [Outro] [fade] Final fading lines... ``` ### Quality Checklist - [ ] Clear structural markers for all sections - [ ] Production notes embedded where needed - [ ] Emotional arc mapped and intentional - [ ] Hooks are memorable and repeatable - [ ] Voice matches artist persona - [ ] Syllable counts support melodic flow - [ ] Rhyme scheme is intentional (tight or loose) ## Integration Points ### Related Skills - SK-MAC-002 (style-specification) - Musical context for lyrics - SK-MAC-004 (persona-development) - Voice and character - SK-MAC-005 (album-conceptualization) - Thematic alignment ### Related Agents - AG-MAC-001 (lyricist-agent) - Primary executor - AG-MAC-005 (album-curator-agent) - Thematic guidance ## Output Format ```markdown # [Song Title] **Artist**: [Artist Name] **Album**: [Album Name] **Track**: [Number] ## Lyrics [Intro] ... [Verse 1] ... [Chorus] ... --- ## Production Notes - Key emotional moments: ... - Dynamic range: ... - Special directions: ... ``` ## References - Song structure theory and common forms - AI music platform annotation best practices - Emotional songwriting techniques

jax-development
IncludedUse this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.
nature-article-writer
IncludedDrafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.
deckrd
IncludedDocument-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.
clinical-decision-support
IncludedGenerate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.
handling-sf-data
IncludedSalesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).
accelint-ac-to-playwright
IncludedConvert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
