adaptive-stem-alignmentIncremental audio production with duration mismatch handling, adaptive stem extension, and pre-mix alignment verification
Adaptive Stem Alignment is an agent skill from HKUDS/OpenSpace. Incremental audio production with duration mismatch handling, adaptive stem extension, and pre-mix alignment verification
Its SKILL.md is about 7.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
The repository describes itself as: "OpenSpace: The Skill Management Layer for AI Agents" -- https://open-space.cloud/. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3827781. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Adaptive Stem Alignment loads about 7.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
The full file from HKUDS/OpenSpace at commit 3827781, republished under its MIT licence (© HKUDS). 614 words, ~7,350 tokens.
.claude/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.This skill provides a resilient pattern for audio production that emphasizes incremental verification, fail-fast principles, and adaptive duration handling. Each major step produces verified outputs before proceeding, with explicit strategies for handling stems of different durations.
Follow these steps in strict order. Each step must complete successfully and pass verification before proceeding to the next:
Calculate all timing parameters before generating any audio. This ensures consistent timing across all stems:

|---|---|---|---|
| Zero-padding | Ambient pads, drones, FX | Append silence to match target duration | Simple, no artifacts, but may create abrupt endings |
| Looping | Rhythmic elements, drums, percussion | Repeat content to fill duration | Maintains rhythm, but requires beat-aligned loop points |
| Crossfade extension | Melodic elements, vocals, guitars | Fade out original, crossfade with looped/faded content | Smoothest transition, but requires careful fade curve design |
| Time-stretch | Any content (when quality matters) | Use phase vocoder to stretch without pitch shift | Computationally expensive, may introduce artifacts |

evloghq/evlog
Twice-monthly check that evlog's drain adapters still send what each provider's own client sends.
heygen-com/hyperframes
Mixes audio already placed in a HyperFrames composition: fades, gain, ducking under a voiceover, effect chains, automation and shared submix buses.
thedotmack/claude-mem
Run the CCS Align seat's hourly breathing cycle — prove the local claude-mem worker is healthy, pull needle observations through search → timeline → getobservations, land them in a seat-owned middle…
ruvnet/ruflo
Agent skill for adaptive-coordinator - invoke with $agent-adaptive-coordinator
ruvnet/ruflo
Run 4-stem separation (vocals/drums/bass/other) on an existing production
thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist
A skill your agent uses when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Provide audio descriptions for video.
HKUDS/OpenSpace
Walks through producing a master audio track plus stems in Python, from checking a reference file and timing sections by BPM to effects, a zip archive and final verification.
HKUDS/OpenSpace
Handle cascading data retrieval tool failures by falling back to embedded knowledge generation
HKUDS/OpenSpace
Gives an agent a workaround when its code-execution sandbox keeps failing: save the Python script to a file and run it through the shell instead.
HKUDS/OpenSpace
A recovery routine for agents whose sandboxed code runner keeps failing: save the Python script to disk, then run it through the shell and read the output.
HKUDS/OpenSpace
Fallback ladder for failed sandboxed code runs, plus the habit of fixing the working directory first so generated files land in the right place.
HKUDS/OpenSpace
Fallback workflow for executing Python code when executecodesandbox fails repeatedly
Incremental audio production with duration mismatch handling, adaptive stem extension, and pre-mix alignment verification. Adaptive Stem Alignment is an agent skill from HKUDS/OpenSpace.
Run `npx skills add HKUDS/OpenSpace --skill adaptive-stem-alignment -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (benchmarks/gdpval/skills/audio-track-production-enhanced-enhanced-b8f537 in HKUDS/OpenSpace) into .claude/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add HKUDS/OpenSpace --skill adaptive-stem-alignment -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (benchmarks/gdpval/skills/audio-track-production-enhanced-enhanced-b8f537 in HKUDS/OpenSpace) into .agents/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add HKUDS/OpenSpace --skill adaptive-stem-alignment -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment, .gemini/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment, .github/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment and .opencode/skills/adaptive-stem-alignment in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Adaptive Stem Alignment is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Adaptive Stem Alignment is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 7.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 29k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Adaptive Stem Alignment: Adapter Alignment (evloghq/evlog, 1.9k stars), HyperFrames Audio (heygen-com/hyperframes, 58k stars), Ccs Align (thedotmack/claude-mem, 97k stars) and Agent Adaptive Coordinator (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
HKUDS (a GitHub organization) maintains it in HKUDS/OpenSpace, which has 7,743 GitHub stars. The repository holds 199 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on August 12, 2026.
