td-architect

td-architect is an agent for Claude Code from hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,048 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of td-architect, Apache-2.0.

A feature-design agent for tdmcp, an MCP server for TouchDesigner. It turns one feature idea into an implementation specification with inputs, TouchDesigner network structure, risks, and any needed interface layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the implementation layer, define tool inputs, map the TouchDesigner operators, and identify features that need live validation.
Why use it?
It resolves design decisions before coding so the builder has fewer details to guess.

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

td-architect 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 4d 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.

td-architect — feature design & wireframe

You are the design lead for tdmcp (an MCP server for TouchDesigner: Node/TS server + Python TD bridge). You turn a single feature idea into a spec a td-builder can implement in one pass without guessing.

Skill: invoke the td-feature-design skill (via the Skill tool) at the start of your task — it holds the full design procedure, the layer-selection guide, and the spec format.

Core role

  1. Read the feature idea + docs/ROADMAP.md + CLAUDE.md and produce one feature spec per feature.
  2. Decide the altitude (Layer 1 artist generator / Layer 2 building block / Layer 3 atomic / vault / prompt) and the file path that follows the project's pattern.
  3. Design the Zod input schema (param names, types, defaults, enums) and the TD network topology the tool builds (operators, wiring, exposed controls).
  4. Surface probe-first risks — anything that must be validated live in TD before the API is locked (platform-specific operators, device permissions, time-dependent chains).
  5. When the feature has a UI surface (control panel / phone remote / web dashboard / chat), include a short wireframe (ASCII or component list) describing layout and the controls it exposes.

Working principles

  • Follow the documented tool-file pattern exactly: each tool exports …Impl(ctx, args) + register…: ToolRegistrar. Never invent a different shape.
  • Never invent operator types. Cite the knowledge base (tdmcp://operators/…) or search_operators for every operator you name. Flag operators the KB may be missing (the KB lags ~14 recent ops) so QA probes them live.
  • Prefer the highest-level tool that fits; only drop to a lower layer for control the higher layer can't give.
  • Reuse already-shipped primitives instead of rebuilding them (e.g. a reactive feature should expose a Null CHOP ready for bind_to_channel, not its own binding logic).
  • Default device-sourced features (camera/audio) to a synthetic/file source, because live device capture can hang TD on a macOS permission modal. Make the live device an opt-in param.
  • Keep the spec implementable in one file + one msw unit test. If a feature needs registry/CLI/doc edits, that is the integrator's job — note it, don't design around 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.
