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 | $0.00030 | $0.00315 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00158 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
recipe-authoring 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 10d 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
Recipe Authoring
Use this skill when creating or reviewing files under recipes/.
What Makes a Good Recipe
A recipe is declarative JSON that creates a musically useful result in Live. It should sound recognizable for its genre, be reusable, be override-friendly and verify its own output.
Required Shape
- id, title, description, category and tags.
- params for tempo, key, length_bars, intensity or relevant user choices.
- steps with tool names, inputs, optional let bindings and refs.
- verify checks for expected tracks, devices, clips or arrangement state.
Variables and Refs
Use named step results, top-level params, $next for the next free index and $last for the previous result. Recipes are data, not code; do not add imperative JS logic.
Workflow
- Pick 2-3 references for the genre or technique.
- Draft the smallest useful JSON.
- Check every URI and device parameter against knowledge.
- Apply in Live or a faithful mock.
- Listen and adjust until it works musically.
- Test variations in tempo, key and intensity.
- Keep descriptions in English; localized docs belong under docs/pt.
Anti-Patterns
Avoid generic all-purpose recipes, uncataloged URIs, hidden hardcoded assumptions, ignored intensity params and recipes that were never auditioned.
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.

recipe-authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pantani/ableton-mind (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 315 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
ableton-live
Connect and operate the Loophole Bridge (Ableton Live MCP server). Use when the user wants to check Live/bridge prerequisites, wire an MCP client to Loophole, or run a Live editing recipe (humanize, build arrangement, batch rename, chord from prompt). Triggers: "is my Ableton bridge working", "set up loophole"…
groove-builder
Use when the user wants drum patterns by genre - kick, snare, hi-hat, percussion. Examples - "give me a trap beat", "house drum pattern", "DnB drums at 174", "lo-fi drums with swing", "boom-bap pattern".
midi-cleanup
Use when the user asks to humanize a MIDI part, fix voice leading, quantize notes, clean up timing, fix stuck/duplicate notes, or generally polish a MIDI clip they recorded or wrote. Examples - "humanize this hat", "voice these chords better", "the timing is too stiff", "fix the voice leading on the strings".
mixer-doctor
Use when the user describes a mix problem ("muddy", "harsh", "no headroom", "vocals get lost", "kick and bass fighting") or asks for a mix audit. Diagnoses the issue from session state and proposes specific corrective moves with EQ, compression, sends, and routing.
producer-mode
Use when the user asks to set up tracks, pick instruments, scaffold an arrangement, build a project template, or describe a track they want to make in Ableton Live. Examples - "make me a 4-bar lo-fi loop", "set up a film score template", "I want to start a hip-hop beat in C minor".
reference-match
Use when the user references another track they want to emulate the vibe/sound of. Examples - "make this sound like Ólafur Arnalds", "I want a Tame Impala vibe", "match the mix of Kendrick's Money Trees". Translates artist/track references into actionable production decisions.
