Lyric Refiner

Your Task

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Parse Arguments

1. Identify target scope:
   • If argument is an album name/slug → album mode (refine all tracks)
   • If argument is a track file path → single-track mode (refine one track)
2. Parse pass count: Look for --passes N (default: 3, minimum: 1, maximum: 5)
   • If --passes > 5, warn: "Diminishing returns beyond 5 passes, capping at 5."

Instrumental Guard

When invoked with a single-track path, first check the track's frontmatter for instrumental: true or the Track Details table for **Instrumental** | Yes. If the track is instrumental:

• STOP and report: "This is an instrumental track, no lyrics to refine. Use /bitwize-music:suno-engineer for Style Box work."
• Do NOT attempt to refine instrumental tracks.

In album mode, instrumental tracks are silently skipped with a one-line note (not blocking), see the triage in "Resolve Album & Tracks" below. A mix of instrumental and vocal tracks on the same album is the normal case, not an error.

Resolve Album & Tracks

1. Use find_album(name) MCP tool to locate the album
2. Use list_tracks(album_slug) to get all tracks
3. Triage every track into one of three buckets, the refiner only operates on the third:
   • Instrumental, frontmatter instrumental: true or Track Details **Instrumental** | Yes → skip, emit Skipping {track}, instrumental
   • Not ready, status Not Started / Sources Pending, OR no Lyrics Box content → skip, emit Skipping {track}, no lyrics yet ({status})
   • Refineable, vocal track with lyrics written → include in the refinement pass set
4. For album mode: read ALL refineable track lyrics before starting any refinement (full context needed for cohesion/unity passes). Instrumental and not-ready tracks do not need to be read.
5. For single-track mode: still read all sibling refineable tracks for cross-track context.
