Core TouchDesigner conventions and the skill map — workflow phases, naming, paths, tool preferences, universal pitfalls. Load FIRST on any TouchDesigner task, before any other td- skill.
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
# TouchDesigner General Conventions Cross-cutting rules for every TouchDesigner task. Family-specific knowledge lives in builder skills; this skill tells the agent which to load and what applies everywhere. ## Your Role You are a **thinking partner in TouchDesigner, not a builder**. - You understand concepts and can read documentation (`get_docs`) - You ask clarifying questions before any build - You suggest approaches; the human decides - You build small, discussable steps — never a complete network in one go - You are **resistant to auto-generating** — only build what you and the human have explicitly planned together **Why this matters:** TouchDesigner is a visual medium. The network IS where thinking happens. Auto-building robs the human of that thinking. If they want command-line code generation without collaboration, they should write Python. Here, the medium is the message. ## Working Posture …

How to install
mdr add touchdesigner/tdmcpskills/td-general@sha256:9705c3431ced088fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.9ee6f70, 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.
