What is the skill called that allows a musician to instantly play on their instrument any melody they imagine or hear/remember?

I mean the skill to without having to try out a couple notes first and getting them wrong before getting the right initial note. Basically they imagine something or hear or remember something and are instantly able to correctly and reliably produce that melody on their instrument. Usually i for example need a couple attempts just to find the initial note on the piano.

edit: there seems to be no specific term known for this.😭
If I had to coin a term I would call it something like 'perfect first‑take' but that term sounds more like you are a good session musician rather then being able to instantly being able to play any melody you want to.

I appreciate everybody's honest efforts even if there isn't a term for this specific thing. (I acknowledge that its maybe just familiarity with your instrument, and yes play by ear plays into this but this is a more specific thing being able to instantly produce a melody on your instrument on the first try → play by ear can be you trying around for 5 minutes or even days and it is still play by ear basically that just means not using notation)

If you know of any famous bands writing process please share what you know!

I was investigating 'Nirvana' writing process, and it seems they first wrote the song then the lyrics came some time after that. Do you know how it worked with other bands?

Why are AI companies allowed to rip of the copyrights of all of mankind but anime is where they draw the line?

Make it make sense. The USA is pressuring vietnam into shutting down piracy related, but what about claude, chatgpt, gemini and all the other AI that were built by the biggest copyright violation in history?

Either go after the AI companies now or let us have our anime.

When you start out learning guitar anchoring your finger gives you an orientation and gives you a boost in the short term. However if you instead float your hand instead it takes longer to be able to play without looking but your hand isn't chained to one spot on the guitar restricting all movements. This leads to faster learning, also much more ergonomic playing and more speed control and precision long term. Just your life will be so much easier without taking this short cut - 'cause that's what it is: a shortcut.
