tdpilot-production

TDPilot Production v2.4.1

Use this skill in addition to tdpilot-core when work is show-critical, performance-sensitive, destructive, broad in scope, or explicitly requested as stable, production-ready, or show-safe.

Core Rule

Protect the running project and its active output. Prove the target and preservation boundary, use the correct brain route, apply the smallest staged change, and accept it only when graph, runtime, visual, performance, and preservation checks pass.

Production Workflow

1. Scope and preflight

• Inspect focus, exact target root, direct connections, active output, and protected paths. Use td_get_info/td_get_capabilities only when build or capability compatibility matters.
• Read current errors and performance once for a baseline.
• Batch independent reads with td_tool_batch; keep mutations transactional.
• Record device, resolution, FPS, latency, and output-routing constraints.
• Treat an ambiguous active route, missing external device, or unproven ownership boundary as a blocking question.

2. Choose the build route

• One proven edit at a known path may use a typed primitive tool.
• An exact compiler-backed pattern may use td_brain_plan.
• Artistic, multi-domain, spatial, or implicit architecture goes directly through td_brain_ground → author → td_brain_propose.
• Require complete intent coverage and concrete lowering for control/reference edges before execution. A partial plan is not a production fallback.

Recall compatible local techniques before taste-critical authoring. Memory and knowledge may inform a proposal, but only validated techniques or promoted traces may compile automatically.

3. Safety baseline

Brain execution already provides snapshot, undo, validation, and rollback; do not surround it with redundant manual wrappers. For direct primitive edits:

• Snapshot before destructive or broad changes.
• Start one named undo block around a coherent batch.
• Set bounds before modifying show-sensitive numeric controls.
• Keep the prior active path intact until a replacement is validated.
