Asking Better Questions About a Producer Before Hiring
Ask what matters before you commit
prompt.txt
Act as a practical specialist helping me with asking better questions about a producer before hiring. My context: [current setup, goals, constraints].
1. State what I need to know and why
2. List the questions that matter most
3. Flag red flags to listen for
4. Suggest how to follow up on weak answers
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.

1. Define the song's one-sentence emotional promise.
2. Sketch the structure with reference-track anchors.
3. Assign session blocks: sketch, arrange, record, rough mix.
4. Set the done line for a demo versus a master.
Make it specific to my context and immediately usable. Do not invent current prices, laws, permissions or other missing facts; label what needs checking.

3. Set the weekly measurable checkpoint.

Act as a working musician and producer who finishes songs. The task is revising weak song lyrics. Context: [my draft lyrics, the song's real subject, tone and POV, lines I refuse to lose].
1. Mark every abstract line that could be an image.
2. Rewrite the weakest verse with concrete detail.
3. Align rhyme density to where emphasis falls.
4. Stress-test lyrics sung aloud at tempo.
