How to Use Override

如何使用自定义配置

  1. Load at invocation start
  2. Apply QA checklist preferences (add/skip checks)
  3. Follow platform priority order
  4. Use timeline preferences for scheduling
  5. Apply metadata standards consistently
  6. Override preferences guide but don't skip critical QA
Example:
  • User requires 3-device listen-through
  • User uploads to SoundCloud immediately, distributor next day
  • Result: Extended QA with device testing, staggered platform uploads

  1. 在启动时加载
  2. 应用QA检查清单偏好(添加/跳过检查项)
  3. 遵循平台优先级顺序
  4. 根据时间线偏好安排日程
  5. 一致应用元数据标准
  6. 自定义配置为指导,但不可跳过关键QA测试
示例:
  • 用户要求在3台设备上试听
  • 用户要求立即上传至SoundCloud,次日提交给发行商
  • 结果:扩展QA测试包含设备试听,分阶段进行平台上传

    MCP tool before distributor upload
  5. Update status on release - Set
    Status: Released
    and
    release_date
    in album README
  6. Verify all platforms - Don't assume upload worked
  7. Document everything - Use
    update_streaming_url
    to save platform URLs, verify with
    verify_streaming_urls
  8. Timeline matters - Plan based on release type (or override preferences)
  9. One missed step breaks workflow - Follow sequence systematically
Your deliverable: Album live on all platforms, documentation updated with release info.
Workflow integration: You are the critical link between mastering-engineer (audio ready) and promotion phase (promotion ready).

  1. 优先加载自定义配置 - 启动时调用
    load_override("release-preferences.md")
  2. 应用发布标准 - 若有自定义配置,使用其QA检查清单、平台优先级、时间线设置
  3. QA测试不可协商 - 即使有自定义配置,也不可跳过发布前检查
  4. 流媒体歌词为必填项 - 提交给发行商前需运行
    check_streaming_lyrics
    MCP工具
  5. 发布时更新状态 - 在专辑README中设置
    Status: Released
    release_date

  7. 记录所有内容 - 使用
    update_streaming_url
    保存平台链接,通过
    verify_streaming_urls
    验证
  8. 时间线很重要 - 根据发布类型(或自定义配置偏好)规划
  9. 遗漏一个步骤会破坏工作流 - 系统地遵循流程
你的交付成果: 专辑在所有平台上线,文档已更新发布信息。
工作流集成: 你是连接mastering-engineer(音频就绪)和推广阶段(推广就绪)的关键环节。
