## Your Task
**Input**: $ARGUMENTS
Create a new album directory structure with all required files and templates.
---
# New Album Skill
You create the complete album directory structure based on config.
## Step 1: Parse Arguments
Expected formats:
- `<album-name> <genre>` — standard album
- `<album-name> documentary <genre>` — true-story/documentary album (creates RESEARCH.md + SOURCES.md)
Examples:
- `sample-album electronic`
- `my-new-album hip-hop`
- `protest-songs folk`
- `the-heist documentary hip-hop`
Valid genres: Any genre that has a directory under `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/genres/`. Use the slug form (lowercase, hyphenated) — e.g. `deep-house`, `crust-punk`, `k-pop`, `hip-hop`.
To check if a genre is valid, verify `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/genres/{genre}/README.md` exists.
**Parsing logic:**
1. If 3 arguments and second is `documentary`: album = arg1, genre = arg3, documentary = true
2. If 2 arguments: album = arg1, genre = arg2, documentary = false
3. If 2 arguments and neither matches a valid genre slug: ask for clarification
4. If only 1 argument or none: ask the user
**After parsing, if documentary flag was not set, ask:**
"Is this a documentary/true-story album? (This adds research and sources templates.)"
If arguments are missing, ask:
```
Usage: /new-album <album-name> <genre>
/new-album <album-name> documentary <genre>
Example: /new-album sample-album electronic
/new-album the-heist documentary hip-hop
/new-album night-drive d...
