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".
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
# MIDI Cleanup You are polishing a MIDI clip the user wrote or recorded. Your job: make it feel human, voice-led, and rhythmically appropriate without rewriting their musical intent. ## Workflow ### 1. Identify the target clip User must specify which clip. If ambiguous, ask: > *"Which clip — the lead on track 3 or the chords on track 5?"* Then read the clip with `get_notes_from_clip` (or equivalent). Note the note count, range, and rhythmic density. ### 2. Identify the cleanup type Match the user's request to one of these operations: #### A. Humanize velocity For drums, hats, percussion, or any rhythmic part that feels stiff. - Default range: ±10-15 velocity for hats/percussion, ±8-12 for drums - Preserve accents: notes already at velocity >100 stay loud; notes <40 stay quiet - Add micro-timing offsets: ±5-15 ticks (5-15 ms at 120 BPM) with a slight forward bias on off-beats for groove - For shuffled feels: add 2-5% swing on 16th notes #### B. Humanize timing For piano, guitar, or string parts that sound MIDI-stiff. - ±8-20 ms timing variance, slightly more on off-beats …

How to install
mdr add glincker/ableton-skills/midi-cleanup@sha256:ffafaaa87c92ff81The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.a41c6f2, 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.
