reference-match skillA
reference-match is agent-read markdown (skill) from glincker/ableton-skills: Use when the user references another track they want to emulate the vibe/sound of. Examples - "make this sound like Ólafur Arnalds", "I want a Tame Impala vibe", "match the mix of Kendrick's Money Trees". Translates artist/track references into actionable production decisions..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Reference Match Translate a reference track or artist into concrete production choices. We do **not** download or analyze copyrighted audio. We use known sonic signatures and the user's own ears. ## Workflow ### 1. Identify the reference Ask if not given: "Which track or artist? And which aspect — the arrangement, the mix, the sound design, or the overall vibe?" ### 2. Pull the sonic signature from common knowledge Map the reference to its known characteristics. Examples: | Reference | Signature | | --- | --- | | **Ólafur Arnalds** | Felt piano, string ensemble (often Spitfire), tape saturation, slow tempo (60-80), minor key, sparse arrangement, long reverb tails, microphone proximity sound | | **Tame Impala (Currents-era)** | LinnDrum patterns, OP-1 synths, heavy chorus on guitar, vocoded vocals, sidechained bass, 60-90 BPM, vintage drum saturation | | **Bonobo** | Live percussion + electronic drums, jazz harmony, vinyl crackle textures, mid-tempo (90-110), wide stereo, heavy use of sample chops | | **Burial** | Vinyl/cassette texture, rain/atmosphere, pitched-up vocal samples, sub bass, garage-2step rhythm, lo-fi hihats, minor 7 chords | …
