A generic workflow for self-starting TouchDesigner via computer-use (or an already-running instance), loading mcp_webserver_base.tox, and verifying any TD-side Python change (td/modules/**) directly from the Textport — reading back real TD runtime values and reconciling them. Use after changing TD-side code in the touchdesigner-mcp repo when E2E verification on a real TD is needed, or when told to "start TD and check," "verify on the actual machine," or "import and run the .tox." Includes the…
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 Startup + Functional Self-Debugging A **general technique** for verifying any TD-side Python change (e.g. anything in `td/modules/**`) inside **real TouchDesigner**. Calling functions directly from the Textport, without standing up the HTTP WebServer, is the shortest path. > **This skill is feature-agnostic.** The worked example in Steps 4–5 happens to > verify *node auto-alignment* (the PR that produced this skill), but that is > **illustration only**. The reusable shape is: **create/modify via the real code > path → read back the TD runtime value you actually care about → reconcile > against an invariant.** Swap the alignment-specific bits (grid, overlap area, > `node_layout.py`) for whatever your change touches. Do **not** assume alignment, > grids, or overlap have anything to do with your task. ## When to Execute - You modified TD-side logic (e.g. `td/modules/mcp/services/*.py`) and want to check behavior on the real machine. - Unit/offline verification is insufficient and you need to reconcile against TD runtime data (any node attribute, cook result, error state, etc.). …

How to install
mdr add hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills/touchdesigner-self-debug@sha256:305944d0b671014fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260727.48beb34, 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.
