Embody: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/merge-divergent-tox/SKILL.md

merge-divergent-tox is a skill for Claude Code from dylanroscover/Embody. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for comparing and combining TouchDesigner component files that Git cannot merge normally. TouchDesigner is software for building real-time interactive media, and .tox and .toe files are its saved components and projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during a merge or rebase conflict, or when comparing a TouchDesigner component across branches, computers, or software versions.
Why use it?
These files are binary, so Git may offer only one whole version and silently discard the other side's work. The guide turns the differences into a reviewable comparison against their shared starting version.

This is dylanroscover/Embody's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Embody 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 Embody configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is | sed 's/\.n$//;s/\.init$//' | sort ) > ../work/${side}_<name>.inv.

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

merge-divergent-tox 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Merging Divergent .tox / .toe Binaries

Git cannot three-way-merge a .tox. It reports a conflict and offers you "ours or theirs" -- a choice that silently discards one side's work.

This turns the binary into a reviewable text diff. Phases 0-2 need no TouchDesigner at all and carry no risk. In practice they often answer the whole question, so do not skip them to get to the interesting part.

The rule that governs everything here

This is a THREE-way merge, not a two-way one. Both sides changed the file from a common ancestor. If you compare only ours against theirs, a difference tells you nothing about who moved: an operator present in theirs and absent in ours may be their addition or our deletion, and those demand opposite actions. Always diff each side against the BASE.


Phase 0 -- Triage (no tools)

  1. Enumerate every conflicting binary, not just the ones you were asked about.

    git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U                      # active conflicts
    git diff --stat <base>..<theirs> -- '*.tox' '*.toe'       # everything that diverged
    

    A file nobody mentioned is exactly the one that breaks later.

  2. Find the true per-file content base. git merge-base is often wrong -- history rewrites and re-committed blobs move it. Verify per file; if the repo's history was rewritten, compare commit SUBJECTS rather than SHAs to find which commits are genuinely absent.

  3. Answer the product questions BEFORE opening TouchDesigner. If one side deleted a subsystem the other side extended, that is a product decision, not a merge decision. Resolving it can collapse the hardest files to "take ours" and end the job. Ask the human. This is the highest-leverage step in the skill and it costs nothing.


Phase 1 -- Extract all three sides (git, binary-safe)

Use Bash/Git Bash, not PowerShell -- PowerShell redirection corrupts binary bytes.

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.
