ableton-mcp-server: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/drum-groove-intelligence/SKILL.md

drum-groove-intelligence is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ntworm/ableton-mcp-server. It costs 52 tokens per session (326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local tool for finding, comparing, generating, previewing, and applying drum grooves. A groove is a pattern of drum hits, and the tool keeps generated results reproducible from their inputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search groove artifacts, compare or generate patterns, preview how one maps to a track or clip, and apply it after confirming the target.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled workflow for choosing and changing drum patterns while rejecting incompatible musical settings instead of silently altering them.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is ntworm/ableton-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ableton-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ableton-mcp-server configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

drum-groove-intelligence 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Drum Groove Intelligence

Fluxo MCP: search -> evidence -> generate/compare -> apply. Trate artifact_id como opaco e confirme o alvo e o slot vazio antes de aplicar. Esta skill é somente orientação: não executa SQL nem comandos externos por conta própria.

Keep Groove Intelligence local and card-based: the deterministic core is always available, neural generation is optional and must fall back without changing the response contract, and artifact/seed/cursor IDs are opaque.

Generation is reproducible from the seed, transforms, bundle, and parent IDs. The primary source plus up to seven references form one bounded parent set; incompatible PPQ, meter, or rights are explicit rejections, not silent degradation. The six transform axes are density, syncopation, swing, microtiming, energy, and complexity.

Before groove_apply, preview mapping and confirm the explicit track, clip slot, kit profile, and (when needed) source track/channel. Commit once. A partial or unknown receipt means inspect Live and do not retry.

Read references/workflow.md for the efficient MCP workflow, taxonomy/projection details, bounds, and current V1 JSON envelopes.

Changes

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.
