td-hype-synthesize

td-hype-synthesize is a skill for Claude Code from Pantani/tdmcp. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,630 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A synthesis skill that combines research reports about TouchDesigner trends into a ranked backlog of possible tdmcp tools. It also checks whether each idea fits the existing codebase and how difficult it would be to build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to merge scout reports, assess feasibility, rank ideas by interest and build effort, and select the best candidates for the development pipeline.
Why use it?
It prevents duplicate ideas and separates attractive concepts from ones that lack evidence, operator coverage, or a workable integration path.

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-hype-synthesize 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 8d 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-hype-synthesize — synthesis + feasibility vetting + ranking

This skill is loaded by the td-hype-synthesizer sub-agent. You produce exactly one file: _workspace/hype-scout/HYPE_TOOL_BACKLOG.md. You do not scout new trends.

Procedure

Step 1 — Inventory the scouts

List every _workspace/hype-scout/01_scout_*.md file:

ls _workspace/hype-scout/01_scout_*.md

Read each file end to end. Note:

  • Which surfaces are present and which are missing (SCOUT MISSING: <surface>).
  • Which files are tagged PARTIAL-DUE-TO-NETWORK — propagate that into the synthesis header.
  • The total candidate count and per-surface tally.

Step 2 — Build the master candidate table (in memory)

Collect every entry into a working table with columns:

Field Source
id new sequential (S001…)
name scout's tool name
surfaces list — usually one, but grow during dedup
summary merged "what artists are doing" + "why hyped"
evidence union of all citations
scout_hype the scout's call (H/M/L) — list if multiple scouts
scout_build_ease scout's guess (S/M/L)
scout_coverage NOT-COVERED / PARTIAL / COVERED
proposed_layer scout's suggestion
proposed_operators scout's suggestion

Step 3 — Dedupe across surfaces

Two entries collapse into one when they describe the same TouchDesigner outcome, even if the scouts framed them differently. Heuristics:

  • Same suggested operators → merge.
  • Same trend name (case-insensitive, allowing minor wording differences like "StreamDiffusion realtime" vs "Realtime StreamDiffusion bridge") → merge.
  • Same "what artists are doing" core (one summary is a subset of another) → merge.

When merging:

  • surfaces = union.
  • evidence = union (dedupe by URL).
  • scout_hype = if all scouts agreed, keep that. If they disagreed, take the mode but annotate inline (e.g. M (showcase: H, tutorials: M)).
  • A trend that appeared in 3+ surfaces gets a +1 step on Hype (capped at H). Multi-surface confirmation is itself a hype signal.

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.
