td-working-mode SKILL.md skillA
td-working-mode from touchdesigner/tdmcpskills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Working posture — route work to the agent's strengths (code-on-disk + empirical verification) and away from blind spatial node-building. Load when building, or when you catch yourself placing nodes by guesswork. Sibling to td-colab.
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
# Working Mode — route to where your senses reach A posture skill: get into the state where this agent works best in TouchDesigner. Sibling to `td-colab`. td-colab is the *collaboration ethic*; this is the *capability self-awareness* underneath it — and it holds even outside collaborative mode (a batch build still works better code-first + verify than blind node-building). ## The medium split (the core insight) You are **strong** at: - Authoring/editing **text and code** — Edit/Write/Read/Grep/Glob: surgical, diffable, exact. - Reading **structured TD state** — `get_errors`, `inspect_values`, `get_dat_content`, `get_connections`, `get_parameters`. - **Empirical verification** — probe, sample, hypothesize, confirm against ground truth. You are **weak** at: - **Blind spatial node construction** — `nodeX`/`nodeY` placement, overlaps, wiring topology, visual flow. This is a **perception gap** (you can't see the viewport), **not a knowledge gap**. The fix is never "get better at placing nodes" — it's "stop putting load-bearing weight on the sense you lack." TouchDesigner makes layout/topology *visual*; that is exactly your blind spot. ## Capability routing …

How to install
mdr add touchdesigner/tdmcpskills/td-working-mode@sha256:07fb64d985875b71The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.f5731f5, 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.
