Install, update, or remove TD skills in the current project. Use when the user asks to install skills locally, update local skills, or remove local skill overrides.

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

# td-skills-local

Manages project-local TD skill installations. Project-level skills in `.claude/skills/` override global skills in `~/.claude/skills/` when names match.

Installation lives in the **TDMCP component**, not in this repo. This repo is skills content only — there is no `install.py` here any more.

## Prerequisites

- TouchDesigner is running with the TDMCP component active
- You can reach it through the `touchdesigner` MCP server (try `project_info`)

If TouchDesigner is not running, say so and stop. Copying skill folders by hand works but leaves no manifest, so the component can neither update nor uninstall them afterwards — it only manages what it recorded installing.

## Process

### 1. Find the component

`project_info` gives the project. The component is normally `/TDMCP`; confirm with `list_operators` if it is not.

### 2. Set the target, then act

`Installfor` and `Installscope` live on the **MCP** page, `Skillssource` on the **Skills** page. Set them with `set_parameters`, then pulse:

| Parameter | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `Installfor` | the agent, one at a time: `claude`, `codex`, `agy`, `cursor`, `opencode` |
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add touchdesigner/tdmcpskills/td-skills-local@sha256:1e8c1dd9215d1ea8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.d2e316d, 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.
