README

music-workflow-skills

Claude Code skills for a full music-production workflow: analyze real recordings (tempo, key, stems, chords, lyrics, drum logic), transcribe played bass takes, and build or reinterpret songs in Ableton Live over MCP.

Derived from working `WORKFLOW-*.md` guides validated on real song projects (dream-pop analysis, an 11/4 punk reinterpretation of a Byzantine hymn, Greek laiko analysis, and others).

Skills

Skill	Use when
`song-analysis`	Turn a recording into bars/BPM/key, stems, bass MIDI, per-bar chords, word-timed lyrics, a band-ready chord+lyric chart
`ableton-mcp`	Drive Ableton Live via the AbletonMCP server — tracks, clips, MIDI, devices, mixing; all the gotchas and hard limits
`ableton-arrangement`	Compose/arrange a full song in Live — section design, bass pattern palette, drum conventions, FX chains
`song-to-ableton`	End-to-end orchestrator: analyze a song, then rebuild/reinterpret it in Live (routes to the other skills)
`bass-transcribe`	You played bass — transcribe the take to MIDI, a Live clip, or a tab/chart (pyin; CREPE for vocals)

Layout

Each skill: a lean `SKILL.md` (triggers + core rules) and, where needed, `references/` files loaded on demand, `scripts/` the skill runs, and `tests/` for those scripts. Machine-specific paths are isolated in a "Local environment (this machine)" section per skill (written against `~`) — everything else is generic.

Scripts:

song-analysis/scripts/detect_meter.py — meter by sweeping every cycle 2–25 (odd meters)
song-analysis/scripts/lv_chords.py — chords with 7ths/inversions (lv-chordia) on the bar/cell grid
