When to use this
Use this skill when the task involves Ableton Live 12 — the Arrangement and Session views, clips, audio warping and tempo, MIDI and MPE editing, MIDI tools, audio-to-MIDI conversion, comping, stem separation, recording, routing and I/O, mixing, automation and clip envelopes, instrument/drum/effect racks, the browser and managing files and sets, the built-in instrument/audio-effect/MIDI-effect references, Max for Live, Push 1 and Push 2, Link and tempo sync, tuning systems, keyboard shortcuts, and accessibility.
Workflow
- Open
references/INDEX.md(orreferences/topics.json) and pick the one file that matches. - Read only that file; open another only if the task spans subjects. Grep across files when needed:
rg -n "PATTERN" references/*.md. - Treat every identifier as an exact reference fact — never invent or paraphrase.
Gotchas
Recurring failure modes and what to do instead live in the sibling GOTCHA.md.
References
All depth lives in references/ — start at references/INDEX.md, metadata in references/topics.json. One subject per file.
