# Cloud Uploader Skill
Upload promo videos and other album content to cloud storage (Cloudflare R2 or AWS S3).
## Purpose
After generating promo videos with `/bitwize-music:promo-director`, upload them to cloud storage for:
- Hosting on websites
- Sharing via direct links
- CDN distribution
- Backup and archival
## When to Use
- After promo videos generated, user wants to upload to cloud
- User says "upload promos to R2" or "upload to S3"
- User says "upload promo videos for [album]"
- Manual invocation only (not automatic)
## Position in Workflow
```
Generate → Master → Promo Videos → **[Cloud Upload]** → Release
```
Optional step after promo-director, before release-director.
## Prerequisites
### Cloud Configuration
Cloud credentials must be configured in `~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml`:
```yaml
cloud:
enabled: true
provider: "r2" # or "s3"
# For Cloudflare R2
r2:
account_id: "your-account-id"
access_key_id: "your-access-key"
secret_access_key: "your-secret-key"
bucket: "promo-videos"
# For AWS S3
s3:
region: "us-west-2"
access_key_id: "your-access-key"
secret_access_key: "your-secret-key"
bucket: "promo-videos"
```
See `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/cloud/setup-guide.md` for detailed setup instructions.
### Required Files
- Promo videos generated (run `/bitwize-music:promo-director` first)
- Located at: `{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/promo_videos/`
- Album sampler at: `{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album_sampler.mp4`
### Python Dependencies
```bash
# If using the shared venv (recommended)
~/.bitwize-music/venv/bin/pip install -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/requirements.txt
# Or install separately
pip install boto3
```
The upload script uses `~/.bitwize-music/venv` if available, otherwise falls back to system Python.
## Workflow
### 1. Verify Prerequisites
**Check config:**
```bash
cat ~/.bitwize-music/config.yaml | grep -A 20 "cloud:"
```
Verify:
- `cloud.enabled: true`
- Provider credentials configured (r2 or s3)
- Bucket name set
**Check promo videos exist:**
```bash
ls {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/promo_videos/
ls {audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/album_sampler.mp4
```
If missing:
```
Error: Promo videos not found.
Generate with: /bitwize-music:promo-director {album}
```
### 2. Preview Upload (Dry Run)
Preview first:
```bash
cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
python3 tools/cloud/upload_to_cloud.py {album} --dry-run
```
The script automatically uses `~/.bitwize-music/venv` if available.
Output shows:
- Provider and bucket
- Files to upload
- S3 keys (paths in bucket)
- File sizes
### 3. Upload Files
**Upload all (promos + sampler):**
```bash
cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
python3 tools/cloud/upload_to_cloud.py {album}
```
**Upload only track promos:**
```bash
python3 tools/cloud/upload_to_cloud.py {album} --type promos
```
**Upload only album sampler:**
```bash
python3 tools/cloud/upload_to_cloud.py {album} --type sampler
```
**Upload with public access:**
```bash
python3 tools/cloud/upload_to_cloud.py {album} --public
```
### 4. Verify Upload
**For R2:**
- Check Cloudflare dashboard → R2 → Your bucket
- Files should appear under `{artist}/{album}/`
**For S3:**
- Check AWS Console → S3 → Your bucket
- Or use AWS CLI: `aws s3 ls s3://{bucket}/{artist}/{album}/`
### 5. Report Results
```
## Cloud Upload Complete
**Provider:** R2 (or S3)
**Bucket:** {bucket}
**Album:** {album}
**Uploaded Files:**
- {artist}/{album}/promos/01-track_promo.mp4
- {artist}/{album}/promos/02-track_promo.mp4
- ...
- {artist}/{album}/promos/album_sampler.mp4
**Total:** 11 files, 125.4 MB
**Next Steps:**
1. Verify files in cloud dashboard
2. If public: Test URLs work
3. Continue to release: /bitwize-music:release-director {album}
```
## Upload Path Structure
**IMPORTANT: Cloud paths are FLAT - no genre folder.**
The cloud path structure is different from the local content structure:
| Location | Path Structure |
|----------|----------------|
| Local content | `{content_root}/artists/{artist}/albums/{genre}/{album}/` |
| Local audio | `{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/` |
| **Cloud** | `{artist}/{album}/` (no genre!) |
Files are organized in the bucket as:
```
{bucket}/
└── {artist}/
└── {album}/
└── promos/
├── 01-track_promo.mp4
├── 02-track_promo.mp4
├── ...
└── album_sampler.mp4
```
**Example for album "my-album" by "bitwize" in rock genre:**
- Local: `~/music/artists/bitwize/albums/rock/my-album/`
- Cloud: `bitwize/my-album/promos/` (NOT `bitwize/albums/rock/my-album/`)
## Command Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--type promos` | Upload only track promo videos |
| `--type sampler` | Upload only album sampler |
| `--type all` | Upload both (default) |
| `--dry-run` | Preview without uploading |
| `--public` | Set files as public-read |
| `--audio-root PATH` | Override audio_root from config |
## Invocation Examples
**Basic upload:**
```
/bitwize-music:cloud-uploader my-album
```
**Preview only:**
```
/bitwize-music:cloud-uploader my-album --dry-run
```
**Upload promos only:**
```
/bitwize-music:cloud-uploader my-album --type promos
```
**Upload with public access:**
```
/bitwize-music:cloud-uploader my-album --public
```
## Error Handling
**"Cloud uploads not enabled"**
- Add `cloud.enabled: true` to config
- See `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/cloud/setup-guide.md`
**"Credentials not configured"**
- Add credentials to config file
- For R2: account_id, access_key_id, secret_access_key
- For S3: access_key_id, secret_access_key
**"Album not found"**
- Check album exists in `{audio_root}/{artist}/{album}/`
- Verify artist name in config matches
**"No files found to upload"**
- Generate promo videos first: `/bitwize-music:promo-director {album}`
**"Access Denied"**
- Check credentials are correct
- For R2: Verify API token has write permissions
- For S3: Verify IAM policy allows s3:PutObject
**"Bucket not found"**
- Create bucket first in cloud dashboard
- Verify bucket name in config
## Security Notes
- Credentials stored in config file (ensure proper file permissions)
- Config file should be gitignored in user's content repo
- Default: Files uploaded as private (not public)
- Use `--public` flag only for files intended for public access
- Consider using environment variables for CI/CD (future enhancement)
