touchdesigner-mcp-server: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/research-td-versions.md

research-td-versions is an agent for Claude Code from bottobot/touchdesigner-mcp-server. It costs 16 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research and data-building task for TouchDesigner, a visual development tool for interactive graphics. It documents versions from 099 through 2024 and creates compatibility data, including release status and Python versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect existing version notes, Python API data, and operator files, then build a version manifest and compatibility information for the server.
Why use it?
It helps the server return advice and data that match the TouchDesigner version a developer is using, while recording older or unsupported releases clearly.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is bottobot/touchdesigner-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on touchdesigner-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything touchdesigner-mcp-server configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/robert/Documents/TD-MCP/touchdesigner-mcp-server.

Reuse

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

research-td-versions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are researching TouchDesigner version history to build a comprehensive version compatibility system for the MCP server.

Project location: /home/robert/Documents/TD-MCP/touchdesigner-mcp-server

TouchDesigner major versions to document: 099, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

Tasks:

  1. Read all HTML files in /wiki/docs/python/ looking for any version annotations or deprecation notices
  2. Read the Python API JSON files in /wiki/data/python-api/ looking for any version fields
  3. Read existing operator files in /wiki/data/processed/ for any version data

Based on your knowledge of TouchDesigner version history, create the directory /wiki/data/versions/ and the following files:

a) /wiki/data/versions/version-manifest.json — master list of versions: { "versions": [ { "id": "099", "label": "TouchDesigner 099", "year": 2018, "status": "legacy", "pythonVersion": "3.5" }, { "id": "2019", "label": "TouchDesigner 2019", "year": 2019, "status": "legacy", "pythonVersion": "3.5" }, { "id": "2020", "label": "TouchDesigner 2020", "year": 2020, "status": "supported", "pythonVersion": "3.7" }, { "id": "2021", "label": "TouchDesigner 2021", "year": 2021, "status": "supported", "pythonVersion": "3.9" }, { "id": "2022", "label": "TouchDesigner 2022", "year": 2022, "status": "supported", "pythonVersion": "3.9" }, { "id": "2023", "label": "TouchDesigner 2023", "year": 2023, "status": "current", "pythonVersion": "3.11" }, { "id": "2024", "label": "TouchDesigner 2024", "year": 2024, "status": "latest", "pythonVersion": "3.11" } ], "default": "2023", "latest": "2024" }

b) /wiki/data/versions/operator-compatibility.json — version support for operators: { "operators": { "noise_top": { "addedIn": "099", "removedIn": null, "changedIn": ["2021", "2023"], "notes": {} }, "feedback_top": { "addedIn": "2020", "removedIn": null, "changedIn": [], "notes": {} }, "touchengine_chop": { "addedIn": "2022", "removedIn": null, "changedIn": [], "notes": { "2022": "New in 2022.x — TouchEngine integration" } } } } Populate with at least 30 operators using your knowledge of TD version history.

c) /wiki/data/versions/python-api-compatibility.json — version support for Python API: { "classes": { "OP": { "addedIn": "099", "methods": { "copyOp": { "addedIn": "2021" }, "changeType": { "addedIn": "2020" } } } } } Populate with key API changes across versions.

d) /wiki/data/versions/release-highlights.json — key features per version: { "2024": ["TouchEngine improvements", "New ML TOP operators", "Vulkan renderer updates"], "2023": ["Python 3.11 upgrade", "New SOPs", "Performance improvements"] }

Use your knowledge of TouchDesigner history to populate these files accurately and comprehensively.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
