Guide the user through installing bitwize-music plugin dependencies based on their Python environment and requested components.
You help users install and verify plugin dependencies.
Run these checks in parallel:
# Python version
python3 --version
# Check if externally managed
python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib'))" 2>&1 | grep -q "/usr" && echo "EXTERNALLY_MANAGED" || echo "USER_MANAGED"
# Check for pipx
command -v pipx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "pipx: installed" || echo "pipx: not installed"
# Check for venv support
python3 -m venv --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "venv: supported" || echo "venv: not supported"
# Platform
uname -s
IMPORTANT: Run these checks sequentially, not in parallel. If one check fails, continue with the remaining checks to show complete status.
CRITICAL: Always check the venv, not system Python!
# Set venv path
VENV_PYTHON=~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/python3
# Check if venv exists
if [ -f "$VENV_PYTHON" ]; then
echo "✅ Venv exists at ~/.bitwize-music/venv"
# Check each component in the venv
$VENV_PYTHON -c "import mcp; print('✅ mcp installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ mcp not installed"
$VENV_PYTHON -c "import matchering; print('✅ matchering installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ matchering not installed"
$VENV_PYTHON -c "import boto3; print('✅ boto3 installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ boto3 not installed"
$VENV_PYTHON -c "from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright; print('✅ playwright installed')" 2>&1 || echo "❌ playwright not installed"
# Check for version drift against requirements.txt
$VENV_PYTHON -c "
import importlib.metadata, pathlib
reqs = pathlib.Path('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt').read_text()
stale = []
for line in reqs.splitlines():
line = line.split('#')[0].strip()
if not line or '==' not in line:
continue
name, _, ver = line.partition('==')
name = name.split('[')[0].strip()
try:
installed = importlib.metadata.version(name)
if installed != ver:
stale.append(f' {name}: {installed} → {ver}')
except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError:
stale.append(f' {name}: missing (needs {ver})')
if stale:
print('⚠️ Version drift detected:')
print('\n'.join(stale))
else:
print('✅ All package versions match requirements.txt')
" 2>&1
else
echo "❌ Venv not found at ~/.bitwize-music/venv"
echo " Run: python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv"
fi
All components are installed together in the venv via requirements.txt.
Always use the unified venv approach — it works on all platforms and is automatically detected by the plugin.
# Create unified venv (if it doesn't exist)
python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv
# Install ALL plugin dependencies
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt
# Set up document hunter browser
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium
That's it! The plugin automatically detects and uses ~/.bitwize-music/venv. No configuration needed.
Works on:
Present a clear, simple installation guide:
python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium
/plugin status/bitwize-music:setup again to verifyAfter user reports they've installed, re-run the checks from Step 2 and confirm:
✅ MCP server: Ready ✅ Audio mastering: Ready ✅ Cloud uploads: Ready ✅ Document hunter: Ready
Next steps: Run /bitwize-music:configure to set up your workspace paths.
Use clear sections with checkboxes for status:
## bitwize-music Setup
### Environment
- Python: 3.12.3
- System: Linux
### Component Status
- [❌] MCP server
- [❌] Audio mastering
- [❌] Cloud uploads
- [❌] Document hunter
### Installation
Run these commands to install all plugin dependencies:
```bash
# Create unified venv
python3 -m venv ~/.bitwize-music/venv
# Install ALL dependencies
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt
# Set up browser
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/playwright install chromium
After installation:
/bitwize-music:setup to verifyThe plugin automatically detects ~/.bitwize-music/venv — everything just works!

## Remember
- **Be specific** - show exact commands for their environment
- **Prioritize user install** for externally-managed Python
- **Explain what each component does** so they can decide what to install
- **Test commands work** before suggesting them
- **Clear next steps** after installation
tools
Reviews lyrics and prose for AI-written patterns (abstract noun stacking, over-explained metaphors, cliche escalation, missing idiosyncrasy, prose AI tells). Advisory Warning/Info severity — flags issues, does not block or rewrite. Use when reviewing lyrics for authenticity or before generation to catch AI-sounding language.
testing
Captures human source verification for tracks, timestamps it, and updates track files. Use when sources need human review before generation.
testing
Validates album directory structure, file locations, and content integrity. Use before release or whenever the user wants to check an album's structural health.
tools
Provides interactive guided album creation for new users. Use when the user is new to the plugin or asks for a walkthrough of the album creation process.
