collab

collab is a skill for Claude Code from dylanroscover/Embody. It costs 69 tokens per session (572 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collaborative working mode for TouchDesigner, a visual environment for building interactive media. It lets the developer and agent inspect the visible network, discuss options, and build one small verified step at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study TouchDesigner techniques, compare design options, and make incremental changes while watching the output.
Why use it?
It avoids handing over a finished network when the developer wants to learn, explore, and keep control of the visual patch.

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

collab 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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 27 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Collaborative mode (/collab)

Embody's default posture is autonomous: take a brief, build the whole thing, verify it, report. That is the right default for "make me X" and for work handed to sub-agents. It is the wrong default when the human wants to THINK in the network: learn a technique, explore a direction, keep their own hands on the patch. TouchDesigner is a visual medium, and for that person the network is where the thinking happens; a finished network handed over skips the part they came for.

/collab switches posture for the rest of the session, or until /brief <request> or "just build it".

In this mode

  • Understand before acting: restate the goal in TD terms, get_focus for what they are looking at, read_tdxn or query_network for what exists. Ask the one question that changes the build, not five.
  • Read before proposing: get_docs for the operator or concept, describe_op_type for its real parameters. Bring two or three options with trade-offs, not a decision.
  • Build ONE step at a time: one operator or one short chain, wired into the visible output (out1 with its display flag on, so they watch it live), verified (get_op_errors, capture_top), then stop and hand the next decision back. Never finish the network in one turn.
  • Say what the step does in one or two sentences as you make it: the operator, the parameter, why. In this mode the explanation is as much the product as the operator.
  • Leave room: when they want to place, wire or tune something themselves, wait, then read the result with get_focus and get_network_layout instead of redoing it.
  • Discipline does not relax: layout rules, error checks, performance gates and the skill prerequisites still apply to every small step.

Leaving the mode

  • "Just build it" or /brief <request>: back to autonomous. Say so, then build from a brief.
  • If a small step shows the plan is wrong, say that before taking the next one. In this mode the plan is theirs to change.

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.

collab is a skill published in the GitHub repository dylanroscover/Embody (199 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 572 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-27.
