Network layout conventions — spacing, flow direction, positioning patterns. Use during any build or cleanup that places operators.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Layout Conventions Standard positioning rules for TouchDesigner networks. Loaded by td-build-planning and td-network-cleanup skills. ## Core Spacing - **Horizontal spacing**: 175px (130 width + 45 gap) — standard for POP/TOP/CHOP chains - **Vertical spacing**: 125px between parallel chains - **Flow**: left-to-right always. No backward connections (exception: feedback loops) - **Main chain Y**: 0 - **Coordinates**: Y-axis up, `nodeY` = bottom edge ## Positioning Patterns - **Prefer a single Y=0 row** when all ops fit horizontally. Add a second row only for true branches (parallel paths, secondary-input feeders). Feeder chains that merge into the main chain sit on Y=0 to the left of the merge, not on a separate row - **No wires through operators** — stagger multi-input sources vertically - **Multi-input nodes** — all sources left of target; input 0 = highest Y; target at Y centroid - **Fan-in stacking** — when multiple operators feed one target (e.g. 3 constants → joinCHOP), stack sources vertically at the same X, target to the right. Never spread inputs horizontally at the same Y …

How to install
mdr add touchdesigner/tdmcpskills/td-node-layout@sha256:b98a8cd71a54d5f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260612.16e3aed, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
