td-feature-design

td-feature-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lucasmaher-hash/touch-designer-mcp. It costs 110 tokens per session (952 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of td-feature-design, MIT.

A planning guide for turning a tdmcp feature idea into a detailed implementation plan before coding. It covers where the feature belongs, its input rules, network design, Python connection, interface sketch, risks, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning one tdmcp tool that another developer can implement with little additional decision-making.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from having to make key design decisions while they are already writing code.

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-feature-design 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 11d 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-feature-design — turn an idea into an implementable spec

A spec is good when a builder can implement it in one file + one test without re-deciding anything. Aim for that bar.

Procedure

  1. Read the context first. docs/ROADMAP.md (the idea is usually already scoped there), AGENTS.md (the conventions), and 1–2 neighbour tools in the target src/tools/layer*/ for the exact file pattern.
  2. Pick the layer / altitude:
    • Layer 1 (src/tools/layer1/) — an artist tool that builds a whole wired+arranged network (goes through orchestration.ts).
    • Layer 2 (src/tools/layer2/) — a building block (connect, control panel, animate, external IO).
    • Layer 3 (src/tools/layer3/) — atomic node CRUD / inspection / raw-Python escape hatch.
    • src/tools/vault/ — Obsidian-vault bridge. A src/prompts/ entry — when the value is guidance to the model, not a deterministic build (multimodal / natural-language / critique ship as prompts).
    • Decide the file path now: src/tools/layer<N>/<camelCaseName>.ts.
  3. Design the Zod input schema — a param table: name, type, default, enum values, notes. Defaults matter: device-sourced inputs (camera/audio) default to a synthetic/file source (live device is opt-in) because device capture can hang TD on a macOS permission modal.
  4. Lay out the TD network topology — the operators it creates, how they wire, and the live controls it exposes. Reactive features must end on a Null CHOP ready for bind_to_channel, reusing the shipped binding path instead of inventing one. Verify every operator type against the KB (tdmcp://operators/… or search_operators) — never invent a type.
  5. Plan the bridge approach — almost always a Python payload via buildPayloadScript (__PAYLOAD_B64__) executed through the client and parsed with parsePythonReport. Propose a new REST endpoint only when streaming or performance genuinely demands it.
  6. Sketch a UI wireframe when the feature has a surface (control panel / control surface / phone remote / web dashboard / chat UI): an ASCII layout or component list naming each control and what parameter it drives.
  7. List probe-first risks — anything to validate live before locking the API: platform-specific operators (Syphon/Spout/NDI/Video-Stream-Out exist only on some OS/licenses), KB-missing operators (the KB lags ~14 recent ops; ~22 dir(td) names aren't createable), device permissions, and time-dependent chains that read 0 on a paused timeline.
  8. Write the test plan — what the offline msw unit test should assert (operators created, params set, wiring, the returned shape).
  9. Write integration notes — exactly which shared files the integrator must edit (layer*/index.ts, src/cli/agent.ts command name + flags, docs regenerate automatically).

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.
