Song Creation

Present: "I see [description]... This feels like [genre/mood]."

Step 2: Generate Story Concept

From the image analysis, create a narrative concept:

World:       [Setting/universe derived from image]
Protagonist: [Who is this story about?]
Conflict:    [What tension drives the narrative?]
Arc:         [Beginning → turning point → resolution]
Theme:       [The emotional core — love, loss, rebellion, hope...]

Present as a 3-5 sentence synopsis. Then ask: "Does this story feel right? Or should I adjust?"

Wait for approval or adjustment before proceeding.

Step 3: Ask Song Count

"How many tracks?" (default from user preferences, or 7)

Map to arc structure:

Other numbers: adapt the closest arc structure to fit.

Step 4: Generate Album Name

Create album name following user's language preference:

English style: [Evocative Title] → folder: [short-form] Japanese style: 漢字タイトル (Romaji) → folder: [english-short] Bilingual: 漢字 (Romaji - English) → folder: [english-short]

The name should capture the album's emotional essence — not just describe the image.

Step 5: Generate Songs

For each song, generate all three components:

Title:

• A title reflecting the song's role in the story arc
• Match language to user preference
• Include translation if using non-English language

Style (Suno-ready tags): Rich descriptive tags covering all dimensions. Be specific — these drive Suno's generation:

[primary genre] [subgenre], [mood descriptor], [instruments],
[vocal style], [atmosphere], [tempo indicator], [thematic keywords]

See Style Tag Guide below for detailed examples.

Lyrics: Full structured text with proper sections:

[Verse 1]
lyrics...

[Pre-Chorus]
lyrics...

[Chorus]
lyrics...

[Verse 2]
lyrics...

[Bridge]
lyrics...

[Chorus]
lyrics...

[Outro]
lyrics...

Story continuity: Each song advances the narrative. Characters, events, and emotions reference the connected story. Each song serves its arc function (prologue establishes, climax peaks, etc.)

Step 6: Present Complete Album

Show the full album:

1. Album name
2. Story synopsis
3. Song list with arc mapping
4. Each song: title, style tags, full lyrics

Wait for review. User may:

• Approve as-is → proceed to save
• Adjust individual songs → regenerate specific tracks
• Change the story direction → re-map arc
• Change language → regenerate lyrics

Step 7: Save Album

Create folder and files:

music/[album-folder-name]/
  story.md         ← Narrative concept + arc mapping
  songs.md         ← All songs with metadata + full lyrics
  audio/           ← Empty folder (user adds generated audio later)

story.md format:

# [Album Name]
*Created: [date] — Inspired by [brief image description]*

## Story
[Full narrative concept — 1-2 paragraphs]

## Arc
1. [Song 1 title] — [role in story]
2. [Song 2 title] — [role in story]
...

songs.md format:

Step 8: Commit (Optional)

If Auto-Commit System is installed, trigger a commit for the new album files. If not installed, inform user that files are saved and can be committed manually.

Single Song Protocol

For standalone songs without an image:

1. Parse request — extract topic, mood, genre preference, language
2. Generate title — match user's language preference
3. Generate style tags — rich Suno-ready descriptors
4. Generate full lyrics — complete structured text
5. Present — show title, style, and lyrics for review
6. Save (optional) — if user wants to save, create music/singles/[song-title].md

No story concept or approval gate needed for singles — just generate and present.

Adding Audio Files (Post-Generation)

When audio is generated from Suno and ready to save:

1. Copy audio files to music/[album-name]/audio/
2. Name format: 01-song-title.mp3, 02-song-title.mp3, etc.
3. Optionally update songs.md with audio file references

Mandatory Rules

1. Image drives albums — never generate a full album without an image input. The image IS the muse. Single songs can use text descriptions
2. Story coherence — all songs in an album tell ONE connected story, not standalone tracks
3. Full lyrics always — never generate partial or placeholder lyrics. Every song gets complete structured text with proper sections
4. Style tags are rich and specific — these guide Suno generation. Cover genre, mood, instruments, vocal style, atmosphere, and tempo at minimum
5. Wait for approval — story concept and final album both need user confirmation before saving
6. songs.md is the single source — all lyrics in one file per album for easy copy-paste to Suno
7. Language respect — use the user's preferred language. If they chose Japanese, use proper kanji/romaji. If English, write naturally
8. Arc mapping — every song has a defined role in the narrative arc. No filler tracks
9. Genre matches image — dark images get dark music, bright images get bright music. Don't mismatch
10. Organized storage — always save to music/ with proper folder structure. Never scatter files
