Recoup Skills

Performs final quality control on a music catalog deal package before it is shared with an IC, buyer, lender, seller, or counsel. Checks evidence, assumptions, findings, and unsupported claims.

Trend detection and A&R discovery agent. Starts from anchor artists and web research, fans out via similar artists, and validates with cross-platform metrics to find emerging artists, viral moments, and market opportunities before they're obvious.

Reconciles music catalog metadata across track lists, royalty statements, registrations, identifiers, and analytics exports. Use when ISRC, ISWC, UPC, title, writer, publisher, or split data conflicts.

Final quality check on a release workspace before it's called ready. Verifies completeness, timeline feasibility, honest gaps, and that no numbers were fabricated. Dispatched by the recoup-release-plan-rollout skill (plan mode) before the final recap.

Deep research synthesis agent. Pulls data from multiple Recoup research endpoints, cross-references findings, and produces executive briefs with specific numbers and actionable recommendations.

Estimate a catalog, album, or song's value from public streaming data alone — no seller files or data room required. Use for "what's this catalog worth from public data", "ballpark this catalog", or "estimate the value of [album/song]". Wider error bars than a seller-file valuation; states its assumptions. For full diligence on a real data room use recoup-catalog-review-deal.

Review and underwrite a music catalog deal end to end — ingest a messy royalty data room, value it (NPS/NLS, concentration, scenarios), build the executive dashboard, and write the IC memo. Use for "review/underwrite this catalog", "clean these royalty statements", "catalog valuation", "build the deal dashboard", or "write the IC memo". Modes: review (default), ingest, value, dashboard, report. Needs seller files; source/ is immutable and completion is gated. For a quick value from public data only, use recoup-catalog-estimate-value.

Generate a whole batch of content assets for one song — a cohesive 15–30-piece clip family (videos, quote cards, a carousel, a visualizer, captions) themed to the audience. Use for "content pack", "30 posts for the launch", or "a bunch of content for [song]". Estimates and confirms cost before spending. Stops at the assets; never posts.

Make still-image assets for an artist — cover art, thumbnails, carousels, promo/announcement graphics, and quote/lyric cards. Use for "make cover art", "a thumbnail", "a carousel", "a promo graphic", or "a quote card". Picks the format from the ask, generates to spec, and verifies the render before claiming done. Stops at the asset; never posts.

Make finished short-form video for an artist — a 9:16 TikTok/Reel/Short of the artist + song, a lyric video, a no-text visualizer/Spotify Canvas, or per-platform reformats of existing footage. Use for "make a TikTok/Reel/Short", "lyric video", "visualizer/Canvas", or "reformat this for TikTok". Modes: short, lyric, visualizer, reformat. Verifies the render before claiming done; stops at the asset. For the clip-worthy moment first, use recoup-song-find-hook.
