suno-music
Generate music with Suno (v5 / v5.5 era, 2026) and advise a production team on what they may legally do with the output. Use this skill when a user wants to create, extend, remaster, or stem-separate a track in Suno; craft Suno prompts (style field, lyrics/metatags, exclude-styles, personas, custom voices); choose a subscription tier for a given use; or get accurate answers about ownership, commercial rights, distribution/monetization on DSPs, the Warner Music Group settlement, the ongoing label/publisher litigation, and Suno's API situation. Do not use it for other music generators (Udio,

What it does
Guides a production agent through using Suno to generate music (vocals + instrumental) and to advise on what can be done with the output under different tiers. Covers creating, extending, remastering, stem separation, and crafting Suno prompts (style field, lyrics/metatags, exclude-styles, personas, custom voices). Helps choose a subscription tier for a given use and provides accurate answers about ownership, commercial rights, distribution/monetization on DSPs, the Warner Music Group settlement, ongoing litigation, and Suno's API situation.
How it works
- Describes Suno’s model timeline and which models are available to paid vs. free users, including V5 and V5.5 features.
- Explains the two-surface generation controls: Style/description field and Lyrics field (plus [Documented] Exclude Styles, and Simple vs Custom mode).
- Details editing tools: Extend, Cover, Remaster, Add Vocals/Instrumental, Personas/Voices, and Stems, plus an iteration workflow for producing finalized takes and stems.
- Outlines rights, licensing, and legal reality: ownership by tier, distribution/monetization rights, copyright caveats, and disclosure requirements; cautions about using output commercially depending on tier and argues human-authorship strategies.
- Summarizes the Suno–Warner settlement context, other major deals, and ongoing litigation status as of 2026-07-10.
- Describes API availability (historical absence, then API partner program announcement).
When to use it
Use when a user wants to generate music with Suno and need concrete guidance on rights and licensing for commercial use, or when advising on prompts, prompts structure, and mode (Custom vs Simple) to achieve desired sonic outcomes; use to determine appropriate subscription tier for a given use; or to answer questions about ownership, distribution, and major settlements.
What it can touch
- Mentions interacting with model versions (V3.5, V4, V4.5, V5, V5.5) and features like Voices, Custom Models, My Taste, and Suno Studio on Premier.
- Notes distribution to DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music) and monetization rights depending on tier.
- References Suno Studio and stem exports in Premier, multitrack editing, and DAW workflows.
Caveats
- Ownership and rights attach to the moment of generation and depend on tier; paid tiers grant contractual ownership for outputs generated while subscribed, but copyright protection in law is not guaranteed.
- Output may not be eligible for copyright protection; management of rights and licensing is nuanced and should involve legal review for high-stakes uses.
- Ongoing litigation and settlements create a dynamic legal landscape; verify current terms with Suno before advising on commercial deals.
- Suno’s API situation is evolving; verify the availability and terms of API access at the time of integration.
# Suno music generation and rights advisory Suno is a text-to-music service that generates full songs (vocals + instrumental) from a style description and optional lyrics, plus editing tools (extend, cover, remaster, stem separation, a DAW-style Studio).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add calesthio/generative-media-skills --skill suno-music --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From calesthio/generative-media-skills, a repository with 112 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
