## What it does

The skill talks to Audition through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into `audition_bridge.py` and gets structured JSON back. Agent shell, bridge script, ExtendScript, result.

Read `FLUE.md` in the skill directory first. It covers how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example and the safety expectations. With Flue already installed, also read `C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md` and `adapters/audition_adapter/APP.md`. Nothing happens inside Audition without Flue, which installs via `pip install flue && flue setup` — and that install should not run without explicit approval in the current session.

Flue acts inside professional desktop software, so the human stays the driver. Small, inspectable steps beat big ones. Destructive actions only when asked for directly. The same bridge covers Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity and Microsoft Office, so one install serves every adapter.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill audition -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/audition/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/audition/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill audition -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/audition/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill audition -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/audition/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SFKislev/Flue audition
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/audition/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill audition -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SFKislev/Flue --path skills/audition
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/audition/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill audition -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SFKislev/Flue/tree/HEAD/skills/audition/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inspect what is open in the current Audition session
- pull tracks, clips and markers into JSON
- make a bounded edit inside the open project
- run a small ExtendScript step without touching the UI
- check session state before a destructive action

## Example prompts
- show me the tracks and clips currently open in Audition
- collect the markers from this session as JSON
- apply an edit to the selected clip via ExtendScript

name: Audition
description: Control Adobe Audition from the shell via Flue - ExtendScript bridges without an MCP server.
---
This skill lets a coding agent operate **Adobe Audition** on the desktop through [Flue](https://github.com/SFKislev/flue), a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into `audition_bridge.py` and gets structured JSON back.

> agent shell -> `audition_bridge.py` -> ExtendScript -> JSON result

## When to use
The human requests work performed **inside Audition** — inspect the open session, tracks, clips, markers; make bounded edits; run small ExtendScript steps. A CLI agent cannot act inside Audition without a bridge like Flue.

## How to proceed
1. **Read `FLUE.md` in this directory first.** It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations.
2. **If Flue is installed:** also read `C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md` and `adapters/audition_adapter/APP.md` for the operational contract, then work from there.
3. **If Flue is not installed:** tell the human. The install command is `pip install flue && flue setup`. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.

## Other apps
Flue also supports Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters.

## Safety
Flue acts inside professional desktop software. Treat the human as the driver; prefer small, inspectable steps; avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested. Flue is MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub / PyPI before use.
