What it does

Zoom To Ableton is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Generate Ableton Live Set (.als) files for Zoom H6 recording sessions in batch, without opening Live. Use when the user wants to "set up Ableton projects from H6 recordings", "generate .als files", "auto-create Live Sets for sessions", turn Zoom H6 multitrack folders into mixable projects, backfill missing .als files, add Scott 2024 Effect Rack to generated tracks, or when a generated .als fails to load and the generator needs fixing.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `SOURCES.md`, `h6-to-als.py` and `references/als-format.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A harness for the anxious digital mind. A safe place for creatives to keep their creative soul while exploring digital skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user wants to set up Ableton projects from H6 recordings
Generate .als files
Auto-create Live Sets for sessions
Turn Zoom H6 multitrack folders into mixable projects

Example prompts

“set up Ableton projects from H6 recordings”
“generate .als files”
“auto-create Live Sets for sessions”
“/zoom-to-ableton”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

dry-run first when scanning new folders; check the track lists.
Generate one session, open the .als in Live, confirm it loads, clips
Re-run any time; sessions that already have an .als are skipped

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f10e2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Zoom To Ableton loads about 895 tokens when it runs, and up to ~27k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~895
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~27k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

name: zoom-to-ableton
description: Generate Ableton Live Set (.als) files for Zoom H6 recording sessions in batch, without opening Live. Use when the user wants to "set up Ableton projects from H6 recordings", "generate .als files", "auto-create Live Sets for sessions", turn Zoom H6 multitrack folders into mixable projects, backfill missing .als files, add Scott 2024 Effect Rack to generated tracks, or when a generated .als fails to load and the generator needs fixing.

Zoom to Ableton

Batch-generate one Ableton Live Set per Zoom H6 session folder. Each WAV becomes an audio track with an arrangement clip at bar 1, color from the Ableton palette, and the Scott 2024 Effect Rack on the device chain.

An .als is gzipped XML, so files are built directly - no Live, no MCP server. Read references/als-format.md before modifying the generator.

Preconditions

Session folders live under the H6 root (default: iCloud ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Ableton User Library/H6/<year>/<session>/).
The track shell 2024/24-08-28/*.als and the 12.4 schema donor 2026/260115-162443/*.als still exist under the H6 root (footer, returns, Ableton root, and rack fragment schema). Update TEMPLATE_GLOB / SCHEMA_GLOB in the script if either moves.
Rack fragment references/scott-2024-effect-rack-devices.xml exists (expanded Devices XML; preset paths still point at the Ableton User Library .adg). Do not load a skill-local .adg copy.
Evicted iCloud files re-download on read; large batches may take time.

Run

bash

python3 h6-to-als.py --dry-run            # preview everything
python3 h6-to-als.py                      # generate all missing
python3 h6-to-als.py --year 2026          # one year
python3 h6-to-als.py --only 260205        # substring match on year/name
python3 h6-to-als.py --tempo 92           # arrangement grid BPM (default 120)
python3 h6-to-als.py --base /path/to/H6   # different root

Clips are unwarped (IsWarped=false): audio always plays at real wall-clock speed. --tempo only sets Live's master tempo and how long clips appear on the beat grid. H6 sessions do not carry a detectable BPM; tap or type the song tempo in Live after open, or pass --tempo when you know it. Turning Warp on in Live is optional if you later want the clip to follow tempo changes. The script resolves relative to its own location; run it from anywhere.

Ordered flow

--dry-run first when scanning new folders; check the track lists.
Generate one session, open the .als in Live, confirm it loads, clips play, and the Scott 2024 rack is on each track. Only then batch the rest.
Re-run any time; sessions that already have an .als are skipped (never overwrites). To regenerate, delete the session's .als first.

Safety boundaries

Never overwrites: any folder containing an .als is skipped.
Writes exactly one file per session: <session>/<session>.als.
WAVs under the session (including subfolders) become tracks.
Non-WAV audio (mp3/aif) is ignored.

Failure handling

Unreadable/non-standard WAV: session is skipped with an error, no partial .als is written.
Generated file fails to load in Live ("corrupt"):
1. gunzip -c file.als | sed -n '<line>p' using the line from Live's error dialog.
2. Check references/als-format.md - usually id collisions (audio vs return track Ids -> "Non-unique list ids"), schema mix, or donor transport leftovers.
3. Fix, delete the bad .als, regenerate with --only <session>.
