pick-moodlisted

Pick the best `./songs/<mood>/` folder for a clip's background music. Reads the clip transcript and asks Claude to choose one mood label from the live list of mood subfolders. Emits a one-line mood string for bg-music to use as its category argument. Falls back to "ALL SONGS" on any failure.

# pick-mood Background music shouldn't be random. This skill reads a clip's transcript and picks one of the existing `./songs/<mood>/` folders to source from. The mood list is generated live from the filesystem — add or rename a folder under `./songs/` and the next run will offer it. ## Invoke ``` .claude/skills/pick-mood/pick-mood.sh <clip_transcript.json> <out.txt> ``` - `input` — clip-local word-timed transcript JSON - `out` — written with a single line: the chosen mood folder name (or `ALL SONGS` as a safe fallback) ## How - Lists subdirectories of `$SHORTS_ROOT/songs/` (skipping dotfiles). - Builds a prompt with the available moods and the clip transcript. - Calls `claude -p --output-format text`. - Parser strips quoting/whitespace and validates the reply against the live mood list. Any miss → `ALL SONGS`. ## Caveats - All songs in the library are instrumental, so the mood label is judged purely on emotional/energetic fit with the clip's content — not lyrics. - Cached by transcript mtime.
