Traces and documents signal paths, bus/aux architecture, and sidechain connections in audio systems. Surfaces hidden coupling between audio components. Use when the user asks to trace a signal chain, explain audio routing, understand an audio graph, locate sidechain sources, or describe how audio flows through a plugin or engine. Trigger on phrases like "trace this signal chain", "explain this audio routing", "what calls what in this audio graph", "where does the sidechain come from…
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
# Audio Signal Flow Explainer > **Core principle:** Audio signal flow is a directed graph. Tracing it reveals hidden coupling, > latency paths, and places where the signal can be corrupted. ## Step 1 — Map the graph - [ ] Find all **sources** (oscillators, audio inputs, file readers, generators) - [ ] Find all **processors** (filters, effects, gain stages, dynamics) - [ ] Find all **routers** (bus sends, parallel splits, sidechain taps, mixer channels) - [ ] Find all **sinks** (audio outputs, recorders, meters, analyzers) - [ ] Note parallel paths — any branch that rejoins a main path - [ ] Note feedback loops — any path where output feeds back into an earlier node - [ ] Note sidechain connections — signals that control a processor without passing audio through it ## Step 2 — Identify each node type | Node type | What to note | |-----------|-------------| | Source (oscillator, audio input, file reader) | Sample rate, channel count, sync source | | Processor (filter, effect, gain) | In/out channel count, latency added, stateful or stateless | | Router (bus send, parallel split, sidechain tap) | Where signal copies go, gain staging at split | …

How to install
mdr add gourdja/sonic-skills/audio-signal-flow-explainer@sha256:432a5980f7f638c9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.3a80b75, 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.
