# Phase 2: Artist Creation Wizard Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** User can interactively create a virtual music artist from scratch, producing a complete artist bible that captures every dimension of the artist identity.
**Verified:** 2026-04-10
**Status:** PASSED

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|---------|
| 1 | User can invoke the create-artist skill and be guided through a 6-step wizard | VERIFIED | SKILL.md has valid name: create-artist frontmatter and argument-hint. Body defines 6 sequential steps each referencing a step file. |
| 2 | Each wizard step collects specific identity data with suggestions and validation rules | VERIFIED | All 6 step files exist with Champs a Collecter, Guidance pour Claude, and Validation sections. Each step is domain-focused. |
| 3 | The wizard validates no critical fields are empty before writing the bible | VERIFIED | Step 06 has a Champs Critiques table (18 rows covering all fields from all 5 steps) with minimum thresholds per field and loops back to source step on failure. |
| 4 | The wizard presents the complete bible for review before writing files | VERIFIED | Step 06 section 4 presents the bible per template. Section 5 requires asking Quelque chose a ajuster before proceeding. SKILL.md rule 5 reinforces this. |
| 5 | Upon completion the wizard writes bible.md, discography.md, and creates tracks/ directory | VERIFIED | Step 06 Ecriture des Fichiers lists all 4 outputs. SKILL.md Output section mirrors these with kebab-case conversion rules and auto-save. |
| 6 | A bible template exists defining every section and field that artist bibles must contain | VERIFIED | reference/templates/bible-template.md has all 9 h2 sections with HTML guidance comments and placeholder markers. |
| 7 | An example bible exists showing a fully completed artist bible for reference | VERIFIED | .claude/skills/create-artist/examples/example-bible.md is a complete LUNA/NOVA bible. All 9 sections filled. No placeholder markers remain. |
| 8 | A discography template exists defining the initial empty discography structure | VERIFIED | reference/templates/discography-template.md has YAML frontmatter, Tracks table, auto-population comment, and Stats section. |
| 9 | The bible template sections match the project bible structure | VERIFIED | Template has all sections from artists/README.md plus Personnalite and Regles de Coherence as intentional additions documented in SUMMARY. .gitkeep removed. |

**Score:** 9/9 truths verified

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| SKILL.md | steps/01 through steps/06 | References each step file sequentially | VERIFIED | Lines 33-48 each reference the correct step path |
| SKILL.md | reference/templates/bible-template.md | Output section and References section | VERIFIED | Lines 55, 64, 74 reference bible-template.md as structural schema |
| steps/01-identity.md | reference/suno/format.md | Genre Tags and BPM ranges | VERIFIED | Lines 8, 11, 36, 43 reference format.md for genres and tempo ranges |

### Requirements Coverage

| Success Criterion | Status | Notes |
|-------------------|--------|-------|
| User can invoke the wizard and be guided step-by-step through all identity fields | SATISFIED | SKILL.md + 6 step files cover all named fields: name, genre, subgenres, vocal identity, emotion palette, themes, personality, lore, visual keywords |
| Wizard produces a complete structured markdown bible at artists/[name]/bible.md | SATISFIED | Step 06 + SKILL.md output section both specify writing artists/[name-in-kebab-case]/bible.md using the template structure |
| Wizard validates no critical fields empty before writing | SATISFIED | Step 06 Champs Critiques table with 18 fields and minimum thresholds; completeness check loops back to source step on failure |
| User can review and confirm the bible before finalization | SATISFIED | Step 06 requires presenting the complete formatted bible and asking adjustment question before writing. Multiple revision cycles supported (up to 3). |

### Anti-Patterns Found

None detected. The only occurrence of the word placeholder in skill files is in a rule explicitly warning against generic placeholders, not a stub implementation.

---

### Human Verification Required

#### 1. Wizard conversational quality

**Test:** Invoke /create-artist and proceed through all 6 steps with a test artist.
**Expected:** Claude proposes specific, creative suggestions at each step rather than generic prompts; step transitions feel natural; 2-4 questions per step is respected.
**Why human:** Conversational quality and suggestion specificity cannot be verified statically.

#### 2. Bible output structure after completion

**Test:** Complete the wizard with a test artist and inspect the produced bible.md.
**Expected:** The file contains all 9 sections in order, no HTML comments from template, all collected data properly placed in correct sections, no placeholder markers remaining.
**Why human:** Actual LLM rendering of data into the template structure requires a live run.

#### 3. Kebab-case conversion edge cases

**Test:** Run the wizard with an artist name containing accents and spaces.
**Expected:** Folder created with accents preserved, spaces as hyphens, lowercase.
**Why human:** The conversion rule is documented but only a live run confirms correct application.

---

## Gaps Summary

No gaps. All 9 observable truths are verified. All 10 required artifacts exist, are substantive (not stubs), and are wired to each other and to project reference files. No blocker anti-patterns found.

The only minor discrepancy noted -- that artists/README.md table lists 7 sections using abbreviated names while the bible-template has 9 full sections -- is intentional and explicitly documented in the SUMMARY. The 2 additional sections (Personnalite, Regles de Coherence) were added per research phase requirements.
