livecoding SKILL.md skillB
livecoding from broomva/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add broomva/skills/livecoding@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Algorave-grade livecoded music workflow — TidalCycles patterns (Haskell DSL driving SuperDirt over OSC) + Hydra-synth visuals (browser or VS Code Simple Browser via a local HTML page that loads hydra-synth from CDN). Wraps the boot ritual (SuperCollider → SuperDirt → Tidal → Hydra), a vibe-descriptor pattern generator (industrial, ambient, DnB, footwork, techno, algorave-glitch), and a reference tunnel-visuals page for the @lo.fi.sci.fi-projected aesthetic. Mac-first; ports to Linux with…
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
# Livecoding — TidalCycles + Hydra workflow A skill for the algorave / livecoded-electronic-music workflow. You write code in real time → patterns emit OSC messages → SuperDirt synthesizes the audio → Hydra renders matching visuals. Same lineage as `#livecode #electronicmusic #algorave`. This is **code-as-music**, not AI-generated music. The aesthetic comes from polyrhythmic + cyclic structure idiomatic to the tool, not from a generative model. For AI-music generation (Suno / Udio / MusicGen), that's a separate stack — out of scope here. ## When to invoke | User intent | Workflow | Quick command | |---|---|---| | "Get me set up" / fresh install / "is everything working?" | [Boot](Workflows/Boot.md) | Walk prereq check + boot ritual | | "Generate a pattern" / "make me a beat" / "give me an industrial pattern" | [StarterPattern](Workflows/StarterPattern.md) | Vibe descriptor → Tidal pattern | | "Visuals" / "tunnel" / "kaleidoscope" / "open Hydra" | [HydraVisuals](Workflows/HydraVisuals.md) | Open the Hydra page; offer pattern mutations | Default discipline: any livecoding-domain conversation opens with a state check …

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/livecoding@sha256:dd9ddf9e9fcbf89aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
