News Song

PIPELINE — ORDERED STEPS

STEP 1 — News Research (CIRO-Research upstream)

Use WebSearch to find breaking news today for the portfolio tickers (or the specified $ARGUMENTS focus).

Search queries to run:

• [ticker] news today [current month year]
• [ticker] earnings analyst price target [current month year]
• [company] stock market [current month year]

Select the single most newsworthy story — prioritize: earnings surprises, major product launches, regulatory actions, macro events affecting multiple holdings.

Output: Structured news brief with headline, source, date, affected tickers, and 3-sentence summary.

STEP 2 — Portfolio Mapping (CIO-Investments upstream)

Map the news to the portfolio:

• Which holding(s) does this affect?
• Sentiment: bullish / bearish / neutral
• Agent economy layer (compute / rails / edge / capital / consumer)
• Position size context (big holding = higher stakes emotionally)

STEP 3 — Creative Brief (News-Analyst-Music)

Translate the news + portfolio mapping into creative raw material:

• Core Narrative: The human story underneath the financial story (1 paragraph)
• Emotional Register: Primary emotion + secondary undercurrent + arc
• Themes + Metaphors: 3 themes, each with a lyrical metaphor candidate
• Tension Points: 2 contradictions or ironies in the story
• Quotable Moments: 2 specific facts/quotes striking enough to use directly in lyrics

STEP 4 — Production Sheet (Music-Producer)

Set the complete sonic world. All decisions are the Music-Producer's — no constraints imposed by the pipeline.

Required output:

• Song title
• Genre + subgenre
• BPM range
• Key/mode
• Mood interpretation + creative rationale
• Energy arc (intro → outro)
• Instrumentation palette (lead, rhythm, harmony, texture, signature element)
• Full beat timing cue table (0:00 → 2:45 minimum)
• Lyricist direction (2–3 sentences)
• Suno style tags (comma-separated, <120 chars)

STEP 5 — Lyrics (Lyricist)

Write full lyrics using the Production Sheet and Creative Brief.

Required structure (minimum):

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Outro]

Rules:

• Every section wrapped in correct Suno structure markers
• Syllable count matches tempo
• No financial jargon — transform data into emotion and image
• Specific details from Quotable Moments must appear somewhere in the lyrics
• Strong point of view — write from inside a perspective, not above it

STEP 6 — Suno Prompt Assembly (Suno-Prompter)
