arrangement-coach skillA

arrangement-coach is agent-read markdown (skill) from glincker/ableton-skills: Use when the user has a Session-view loop and wants to promote it to a full Arrangement, build sections (intro/verse/drop/break/outro), or extend a 4-bar idea into a 3-minute track. Examples - "turn this loop into a full song", "build me a 2-minute arrangement from this", "promote session to arrangement"..

What the file says

# Arrangement Coach

Promote a Session-view loop into a structured Arrangement, or extend a short idea into a full-length track. The user owns the musical content; you handle structural decisions.

## Workflow

### 1. Read what they have

- `get_session_info` — confirm session vs arrangement state
- `get_track_info` for each track — collect all clips currently in Session view
- Identify the loop length (most likely 4 or 8 bars) and the BPM

### 2. Choose a structural template

Ask the user once: "Which structure?"

| Template | Length | Sections |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Pop** | ~3 min | Intro 8 → V1 16 → Pre 8 → Chorus 16 → V2 16 → Pre 8 → Chorus 16 → Bridge 8 → Chorus 16 → Outro 8 |
| **EDM** | ~4 min | Intro 16 → Build 16 → Drop 32 → Break 32 → Build 16 → Drop 32 → Outro 16 |
| **Lo-fi** | 2-3 min | Intro 4 → Loop A x4 → Variation x2 → Loop A x2 → Tail 4 |
| **Cinematic** | varies | Stmt → Dev → Climax → Resolution. Use rubato; bar count flexible. |
| **Hip-hop** | 2-3 min | Intro 4 → V1 16 → Hook 8 → V2 16 → Hook 8 → Bridge/V3 16 → Hook 8 → Outro 4 |

### 3. Promote loops to arrangement

For each section in the template:
