What is the primary role of the Release Director skill?

The Release Director skill orchestrates the transition from mastered audio to live distribution, handling QA, asset preparation, platform uploads, and release documentation.

Can I customize the QA requirements for my releases?

Yes, you can create a custom release-preferences.md file to override default QA checks, platform priorities, and metadata standards to suit your specific workflow.

Which streaming platforms does this skill support?

It provides specific workflows for SoundCloud and major distributors like DistroKid, which covers Spotify, Apple Music, and other global streaming services.

Does this skill perform audio mastering?

No, the Release Director takes over after the mastering phase is complete. It verifies that mastering standards (like -14 LUFS) are met but does not process the audio itself.

How does it help with social media promotion?

Upon successful release, the skill generates a dynamic 'Release Complete' message with a one-click tweet intent URL tailored to your specific album name and metadata.
