Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.00807 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00404 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00161 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00081 |
Grade A, and why
ableton-init scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/ableton-init
Sets up a clean, production-ready Ableton session structure. Run this once per new project before recording or composing.
What it creates
Return tracks (3)
| Return | Device chain | Color | Send level |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — Verb | Reverb (Hall preset, decay 2.5s) | Grey | 0 dB unity |
| B — Delay | Ping Pong Delay (1/8 dotted, feedback 35%) | Grey | -6 dB |
| C — Parallel | Glue Compressor (4:1, fast attack, auto release) | Grey | -∞ (manual) |
Master bus chain
- EQ Eight (HPF at 30 Hz to remove sub-rumble)
- Glue Compressor (2:1, slow attack, 1-2 dB GR target — bypass by default, on for mixdown)
- Limiter (-1 dB ceiling — bypass by default, on for export)
Tempo + time signature
- Default 120 BPM, 4/4 (user can override at invocation:
/ableton-init 95 4/4)
Empty track palette (8 tracks, color-coded, unarmed)
| # | Type | Name | Color | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MIDI | Drums | Orange | Drum rack / kit |
| 2 | MIDI | Bass | Yellow | Sub / 808 / bass guitar via Tension |
| 3 | MIDI | Chords | Green | Pad, keys, harmonic bed |
| 4 | MIDI | Lead | Purple | Melody, lead line |
| 5 | Audio | Vocals | Pink | Recording slot |
| 6 | Audio | Sample | Blue | Loops, foley, samples |
| 7 | MIDI | Aux 1 | Light blue | Spare for whatever |
| 8 | MIDI | Aux 2 | Light blue | Spare |
Workflow
- Verify session is empty (or close to empty). If not, ask: "Session has N tracks already — proceed and add returns + master chain only, or stop?"
- Set tempo and time signature.
- Create return tracks with device chains and presets.
- Insert master bus chain.
- Create the 8-track palette. Set colors and names. Don't load instruments — that's the user's choice per project.
- Send all tracks to Return A at -∞ (no auto-send), let the user dial in per track.
- Save preferences in a
.amsfile (Ableton template) if user wants this as a default. - Report back: "Project initialized at 120 BPM. 8 tracks, 3 return tracks, master chain installed (compressor + limiter bypassed). Ready to compose."
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ableton-init is a command published in the GitHub repository glincker/ableton-skills (22 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 807 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
