How do I install the Ableton AI skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add autonomous-ai/ableton-ai in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Ableton AI safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Ableton AI?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Ableton AI free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

Loop room

Read studio.json to understand the current controls; "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/../studio.config.json" describes their ranges. Run "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/run.sh" render to make a new result. Successful artifacts and their measurements are in out/runs/<id>/; out/latest.json names the current result. A failed run preserves the last success and records the error in the verdict.

The starter is a local synthesized MIDI sequencer. It writes a standard MIDI file and WAV preview without Ableton. The optional Live action reads a running Ableton AI bridge; it does not overwrite tracks or start transport.

Use "$STUDIO_TOOLCHAIN/../README.md" for the integration contract and commands. Read the relevant files under $STUDIO_UPSTREAM before using an upstream API. Keep controls within their documented ranges, preserve the data needed to reproduce a comparison, and distinguish preview results from native service or hardware output. The viewer supports history and artifact downloads; tell the user which run contains the result, and what was actually measured.

Make a loop that can leave the viewer

Choose a scale, tempo, density, and swing. Audition the step grid, keep a run, and verify notes.json, loop.mid, and loop.wav. A nonempty sixteen-character pattern mask overrides density; clear it to regenerate a seeded rhythm. The browser and exporter share a tested pattern algorithm, so note pitches, velocity, and timing remain reproducible.

Read $STUDIO_UPSTREAM/skills/ableton/SKILL.md for real Live composition and its documented track/device/clip operations. The wrapper's live action is a read-only session snapshot; it does not import the MIDI, change a set, or start transport. Enable the pinned upstream control surface before using its native tools, and preserve the user's current session.
