This skill should be used when the user asks to "research an artist", "analyze [artist] style", "study [song]", "look up [artist] patterns", or wants to explore musical patterns before creating a Suno song. Automatically launches song-researcher sub-agent for comprehensive pattern analysis from web sources.
/plugin marketplace add nwp/suno-song-creator-plugin/plugin install nwp-suno-song-creator@nwp/suno-song-creator-pluginThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
Independently research artist styles and song patterns to inform Suno prompt creation. Get comprehensive analysis of lyrical structure, musical patterns, and production characteristics before writing a song.
This skill provides standalone artist/song research capabilities using the same automated research sub-agent used in the main Suno Song Creator workflow. Use it when you want to understand an artist's style before creating a song, or when you're exploring musical patterns for inspiration.

User: /research-artist Phoebe Bridgers
Main Agent: "I'll research Phoebe Bridgers' style to understand her patterns..."
Main Agent: [Launches song-researcher sub-agent]
Song Researcher: [Fetches data from Genius (Motion Sickness, Scott Street, Kyoto)]
Song Researcher: [Searches for chord progressions on HookTheory]
Song Researcher: [Gathers genre context from Spotify/AllMusic]
Song Researcher: [Analyzes syllable patterns, rhyme schemes, metaphors]
Song Researcher: [Returns structured report]
Main Agent: "Research complete! Analyzed 3 songs: 'Motion Sickness', 'Scott Street', 'Kyoto'."
Main Agent: [Displays research report with patterns]
Key findings:
- Syllables: 8-10 per line in verses, 6-9 in chorus
- Rhyme: Loose ABCB, prefers slant rhymes over exact
- Metaphors: Concrete imagery (car crashes, specific places)
- Tone: Confessional, intimate, lo-fi aesthetic
- Production: Bedroom pop, minimal, soft dynamics
User can then: Use findings to inform Suno song creation, save report for reference, or continue main workflow with research context
User: /research-artist Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild
Main Agent: "I'll research Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' in depth..."
Main Agent: [Launches song-researcher sub-agent]
Song Researcher: [Primary: Deep analysis of 'Manchild']
Song Researcher: [Context: Analyzes 'Nonsense', 'Feather' for patterns]
Song Researcher: [Synthesizes song-specific vs. artist-consistent patterns]
Song Researcher: [Returns structured report]
Main Agent: "Research complete! Primary song: 'Manchild' + context from 2 other tracks."
Main Agent: [Displays comprehensive report]
Key findings for 'Manchild':
- Syllables: 7-9 per line, very consistent
- Rhyme: AABB couplets, exact rhymes
- Metaphor: Extended "manchild" metaphor throughout
- Tone: Playful sarcasm, witty observations
- Production: Modern pop, bright, punchy
Artist context (from other songs):
- Consistent: Witty wordplay, relationship commentary
- Variable: 'Manchild' more sarcastic than usual romantic tracks
User can then: Understand specific song's unique qualities vs. artist's general style
User: I want to understand the difference between Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker's styles
Main Agent: "I'll research both artists separately..."
[Researches Phoebe Bridgers]
[Researches Julien Baker]
Main Agent: "Here's the comparison based on research:
**Phoebe Bridgers:**
- Syllables: 8-10, looser
- Rhyme: Slant rhymes, loose ABCB
- Metaphors: Concrete imagery (places, objects)
- Production: Bedroom pop, soft
**Julien Baker:**
- Syllables: 9-11, tighter
- Rhyme: More exact rhymes, ABAB
- Metaphors: Religious imagery, abstract concepts
- Production: Lo-fi indie rock, emotional dynamics"
Standalone usage:
Use /research-artist independently when exploring styles before creating a song.
Automatic usage in main workflow: When you use the main Suno Song Creator skill and mention an artist reference, the song-researcher sub-agent launches automatically—you don't need to call this skill manually.
Example workflow:
/research-artist Phoebe Bridgers to study styleNote: Research is NOT cached across sessions. Each invocation performs fresh web research.
If the artist is not found or has minimal data:
Example output:
## Research Limitations
- Artist "XYZ" not found on Genius or Spotify
- Attempted alternative spellings with no results
- Confidence: <50% (Insufficient)
- Recommendation: Verify artist name spelling or try related artists
If some sources provide data but others don't:
Example output:
## Research Quality
- Sources Used: Genius ✓, Chords ✗ (not available), Spotify ✓
- Confidence: 65% (Basic)
- Note: Chord progressions not available for this artist
If researching specific song that can't be located:
Example output:
## Research Limitations
- Specific song "XYZ" not found
- Analyzed 3 other popular songs instead: [list]
- General artist patterns provided
Before using:

After research:
This skill uses the Task tool to launch the song-researcher sub-agent:
Task tool:

prompt: "Research [Artist] - [Song if mentioned]. User wants to understand style patterns."
Sub-agent tools:

What this skill does NOT do:
What it DOES do:
Main Suno Song Creator (/suno-song-creator):
Use when you want to create a complete Suno prompt. Includes automated research when artist mentioned, plus prompt building, lyric writing, and file export.
Review Suno Song (/review-song):
Use after creating a prompt to get quality assessment from independent reviewer. Checks for AI-slop, clichés, rhyme quality, style-lyric fit.
When invoked:
Input variations handled:
Output handling:
No user input required: Artist/song name provided in initial skill invocation. Sub-agent performs research automatically and returns complete report.
This skill should be used when the user asks about libraries, frameworks, API references, or needs code examples. Activates for setup questions, code generation involving libraries, or mentions of specific frameworks like React, Vue, Next.js, Prisma, Supabase, etc.
