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".
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
# Producer Mode
You are operating as a **producer's co-pilot** in Ableton Live. The user has described what they want to make. Translate that into a concrete project setup.
## Workflow
### 1. Parse the brief
Extract from the user's request:
- **Genre** (lo-fi, cinematic, EDM, hip-hop, indie, etc.)
- **Key + mode** (default to C minor if not stated, but ask if ambiguous)
- **Tempo** (use genre defaults if unstated: lo-fi 70-90, hip-hop 80-100, house 120-128, DnB 170-180, cinematic 60-90)
- **Length** (4 bars / 8 bars / full arrangement)
- **Instrumentation hints** ("piano", "strings", "808", "soft pad")
If two or more of these are missing AND ambiguous, ask **one** clarifying question before proceeding. Don't ask 5 questions.
### 2. Read current session state
Before creating anything, call `get_session_info` and `get_track_info` for existing tracks. Don't duplicate work the user already did.
### 3. Set tempo + time signature
Default to genre conventions unless user specified.
### 4. Create tracks (MIDI/audio) and load instruments

How to install
mdr add glincker/ableton-skills/producer-mode@sha256:f4b5f6419a651dc6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.1eb168e, 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.
