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 | $0.00072 | $0.01260 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00630 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00252 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00126 |
Grade A, and why
producer-mode 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 11d 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Producer Mode
You are operating as a producer's co-pilot in Ableton Live. The user has described what they want to make. Translate that into a concrete project setup.
Workflow
1. Parse the brief
Extract from the user's request:
- Genre (lo-fi, cinematic, EDM, hip-hop, indie, etc.)
- Key + mode (default to C minor if not stated, but ask if ambiguous)
- Tempo (use genre defaults if unstated: lo-fi 70-90, hip-hop 80-100, house 120-128, DnB 170-180, cinematic 60-90)
- Length (4 bars / 8 bars / full arrangement)
- Instrumentation hints ("piano", "strings", "808", "soft pad")
If two or more of these are missing AND ambiguous, ask one clarifying question before proceeding. Don't ask 5 questions.
2. Read current session state
Before creating anything, call get_session_info and get_track_info for existing tracks. Don't duplicate work the user already did.
3. Set tempo + time signature
Default to genre conventions unless user specified.
4. Create tracks (MIDI/audio) and load instruments
Use create_midi_track / create_audio_track. Then get_browser_items_at_path to find instruments matching the genre. Load with load_browser_item.
Genre → instrument defaults:
- Lo-fi / chill — Wurli/Rhodes (Operator preset or Lounge Lizard if available), warm pad (Wavetable), tape-saturated drums, sub bass
- Cinematic — Spitfire BBC SO Discover (if user has it) → strings, brass, woodwinds, choir, taiko, sound design pad
- Hip-hop / trap — 808 sub, hat (closed + open), kick, snare, vocal chops or sample slot, optional Wurli/keys
- House / techno — kick (4/4), clap on 2&4, hat off-beats, bass (sub or Reese), pad (sustained), pluck/lead
- EDM / pop — pluck lead, supersaw chord stab, sub + sidechain, kick, snare, vocal chops
- DnB — Amen-style break or Drum Bus rack, Reese bass, atmos pad, lead synth
- Indie / band — drum kit, bass guitar (or Tension), electric piano (Wurli), guitar (Sample), pad
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.

producer-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository glincker/ableton-skills (25 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,260 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
