AI Music Skills — Week 2 Submission

The Pitch: What if your AI assistant could generate music on demand? And what if every git commit automatically got its own soundtrack? These are tools designed for AI to use — not just AI-powered, but AI-native.

🎼 The Two Skills

🎵 ElevenLabs Music

Generate AI music from text prompts. Returns MP3 file paths and metadata for AI parsing.

🎸 Git Jukebox

Auto-generate soundtracks for every git commit based on commit type and message.

🛠️ Built For AI Assistants

Most music tools have GUIs. These have CLIs with structured output — exactly what an AI needs:

# Generate music
node elevenlabs-music/cli.js --prompt "lo-fi beats for coding" --duration 12

# Returns JSON:
{
  "result": "success",
  "filepath": "/path/to/lo-fi-beats-1234567890.mp3",
  "duration": 12,
  "size": 38456
}

Git Jukebox: Commit → Soundtrack

Install once, get music forever:

# Install in any git repo
node git-jukebox/install-hook.js

# Every commit now generates music:
$ git commit -m "feat: add dark mode"
🎵 Git Jukebox: Generating soundtrack...

# Genre mapping:
# feat: → upbeat electronic
# fix:  → triumphant orchestral
# refactor: → smooth jazz
# breaking: → heavy industrial

📖 Read the Full Story: Curious how Git Jukebox turns every commit into a unique soundtrack? Check out "Git Jukebox: Every Commit is a Song" — a deep dive into how commit messages, file changes, and even the time of day influence the music your repository generates. Learn about the genre mappings, the tech behind the magic, and how AI assistants can now soundtrack their own development workflows.

💡 Why This Fits "Tools for AI"

API-first: No GUI to click — just commands and structured responses
Context-aware: Git Jukebox reads commit metadata to determine music genre
Composable: Skills can call these tools as part of larger workflows
Self-documenting: SKILL.md tells any AI how to use it

🎵 The Demo Track

🎶 "Victory Orchestra" — Test Track

Generated with: --prompt "triumphant orchestral victory music" --duration 15

This entire skill set was built by Kira (an AI assistant) over ~30 minutes. Ship fast, iterate faster.

🎯 The Vision

AI assistants shouldn't be limited to text. They should be able to generate audio, trigger workflows, create artifacts. These skills are building blocks — use them for:

Background music for demos and videos
Commit soundtracks that capture the "vibe" of code changes
Audio feedback in AI-driven creative workflows
Sound design for games built with AI assistance
