Anyone can run their own label by switching on the roles for the jobs they cannot staff yet. Every role is draft-first: it prepares work for the label owner and never signs, spends, files, sends, or pays.\n\n## When to use\n\n- The user wants to start or run a label, or an artist wants label-level support.\n- The user asks who should handle a task, or what a label role does.\n- A request spans departments (a release needs distribution, marketing, and rights).\n\n## Ask first\n\nRead the label or artist profile first (`artist-profile.md`, or what is pasted in chat) and only ask for what is missing, in one short batch:\n\n- What is the next thing to finish: a release, a campaign, a deal, royalties, or a budget?\n- How big is the operation today (solo, small team), how many artists and releases, and what is the budget and deadline?\n- Which jobs does the owner already cover, so those roles can stay off?\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Ask one question if unclear: what is the next thing to finish (a release, a campaign, a deal, royalties, a budget)?\n2. Pick the single best role from the roster below and run that role's skill. If the work spans roles, start with `label-manager` to set the plan, then hand off.\n3. When a role names a hand-off, say which role takes it and exactly what is being handed over.\n4. Solo label owners: start with the seven roles under **Starting solo**. Add the rest as the roster, releases, and revenue grow.\n\n## Starting solo\n\n- `label-manager`: Label Manager / GM. Run the label as a business: set priorities, coordinate every department role, protect the budget, and report performance and risk to the owner every week.\n- `label-release-operations-manager`: Release Operations Manager. Own the master release schedule and get every release set up, quality-checked and delivered to partners on time.\n- `label-marketing-manager`: Marketing Manager (Product / Campaign Manager). Plan and run release campaigns from first idea to post-release analysis, keeping every department on schedule and every artist brand consistent.\n- `label-social-content-creator`: Social Content Creator. Create platform-native short-form video, graphics and edits that grow audiences and drive streams for label artists.\n- `label-business-affairs-manager`: Business Affairs & Contracts Manager. Draft, review and administer the label's agreements and clearances, track rights and obligations, and keep the label compliant.\n- `label-rights-administrator`: Rights & Catalog Administrator. Keep the label's rights and catalog data accurate, register works and recordings with every collection body, and recover income that's missing.\n- `label-royalty-accountant`: Royalty Accountant. Calculate and deliver accurate, on-time royalty statements and payments to artists, producers and partners according to their contracts.\n\n## Full roster\n\n### Leadership\n\n| Skill | Role | What it
