## Your Task
Guide the user through installing bitwize-music plugin dependencies based on their Python environment and requested components.
---
# Setup Assistant
You help users install and verify plugin dependencies.
---
## Step 1: Detect Environment
**Run these checks in parallel:**
```bash
# 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
```
---
## Step 2: Check Component Status
**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!
```bash
# 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.
---
## Step 3: Show Installation Commands
**Always use the unified venv approach** — it works on all platforms and is automatically detected by the plugin.
```bash
# 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:**
- ✅ Linux (externally-managed Python)
- ✅ macOS
- ✅ Windows (WSL)
- ✅ All other systems
---
## Step 4: Installation Guide
Present a clear, simple installation guide:
1. **Environment detected**: [Python version, Platform]
2. **Missing components**: [list what needs to be installed]
3. **Installation commands**:
```bash
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
```
4. **After installation**:
- Restart Claude Code to reload the plugin
- MCP server should show as running in `/plugin` status
- Run `/bitwize-music:setup` again to verify
---
## Step 5: Verify Installation (if requested)
After 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.
---
## Output Format
Use clear sections with checkboxes for status:
```markdown
## 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:**
1. Restart Claude Code
2. All components will work automatically
3. Run `/bitwize-music:setup` to verify
The 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 installationRelated Skills
