Use when writing, debugging, or explaining Strudel live-coding music patterns — mini-notation syntax, pattern functions (fast/slow/every/off/stack), synth/sample selection, audio effects, scale/chord/voicing API, or EDM production recipes. Triggers: "write a Strudel pattern", "how do I make a bassline in Strudel", "what does .every() do", "strudel drum beat", "strudel chord voicing", any Strudel code question.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Strudel
Reference skill for programming music with [Strudel](https://strudel.cc) — a JavaScript live-coding environment based on TidalCycles patterns, running in-browser.
## Core Concepts
**Cycle** — the fundamental time unit (~2 seconds at the default 30 cpm).
All events fit within cycles; adding events makes each shorter, not the total longer.
One cycle = one bar of 4/4 at the default tempo.
**Pattern** — a pure function from time to events.
Everything is a pattern.
Transforming a pattern wraps it; the original is unchanged.
**Mini-notation** — a DSL written inside `"double quotes"` (single-line) or `` `backticks` `` (multi-line).
Single quotes `'...'` are plain JS strings and are NOT parsed as patterns.
**Chaining** — methods chain left-to-right: `note("c e g").s("piano").lpf(800).room(0.4)`.
**`$:` tracks** — the REPL syntax for parallel patterns.
Each `$:` line is an independent stream.
`_$:` mutes a track.
Outside the REPL, use `stack(...)`.
## Quick Start
```js
// First sound
s("bd sd hh cp")
// First note
note("c3 e3 g3 a3").s("piano")
// Stack drum + melody
stack(
s("bd*4, ~ cp ~ cp, hh*8"),
note("<c3 eb3 g3 bb3>/4").s("piano").room(0.4)
)

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/strudel@sha256:b90d74733084039fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.0eea0e4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
