# Ableton AI > Create and inspect music projects in the Ableton AI Harness workspace, including its local starter and optional upstream integration. - Skill: `autonomous-ai/ableton-ai` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add autonomous-ai/ableton-ai` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/autonomous-ai/ableton-ai/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Integrations & APIs - Author: autonomous-ai (https://skillmd.com/u/autonomous-ai) - Updated: 2026-09-21 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/autonomous-ai/ableton-ai --- # 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//`; `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.
