+---
+
+# cli-anything-wavetone
+
+Use this skill when an agent needs to prepare, inspect, and launch WaveTone 2.61
+audio transcription workflows.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Windows host.
+- WaveTone 2.61 extracted locally.
+- Set `WAVETONE_EXE` to `wavetone.exe` or `WAVETONE_HOME` to the extracted
+  WaveTone directory when the default portable path is not used.
+
+## Core Commands
+
+All commands support the top-level `--json` flag.
+
+```bash
+cli-anything-wavetone --json wavetone doctor
+cli-anything-wavetone --json project new input.wav -o project.wt.json
+cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json audio probe
+cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json project set-tempo --bpm 120 --meter 4/4
+cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json project add-label chorus --time 64.0
+cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json wavetone launch
+```
+
+## Command Groups
+
+- `project`: create manifests, set tempo, add labels, update intended analysis
+  settings, and attach a WFD saved from WaveTone.
+- `audio`: probe audio metadata before opening it in WaveTone.
+- `wavetone`: run `doctor`, list supported formats, or launch the real GUI.
+- `session`: record lightweight event logs for multi-step agent workflows.
+- `defaults`: show default analysis settings.
+
+## Agent Guidance
+
+The JSON project manifest is not a WaveTone WFD file. It is an agent-facing plan
+for the source audio, intended analysis settings, labels, and tempo metadata.
+Use WaveTone itself to perform analysis and save WFD/MIDI/text/WAVE outputs.
+
+When running in automated checks, use:
+
+```bash
+cli-anything-wavetone --json wavetone launch input.wav --wait 1 --terminate
+```
+
+This confirms that the real backend can be started without leaving a persistent
+GUI process behind.
