Summary

Expands the touchdesigner-mcp optional skill from 8 → 14 files with generic reusable patterns for TD users. All content is MCP-first (twozero native tools) with no session-specific biases.

New reference files (6)

File Content
glsl.md Uniforms, built-in utility functions, shader templates (TOP/MAT/POP), Bayer dither
postfx.md Bloom (bloomTOP + GLSL), CRT scanlines, chromatic aberration, feedback glow
layout-compositor.md layoutTOP grids, overTOP panel composition, GLSL divider lines, element library pattern
operator-tips.md Wireframe rendering setup (wireframeMAT + renderTOP), feedback TOP lifecycle
geometry-comp.md Instancing params, POP vs SOP rendering, switchPOP morphing, attribute mapping
audio-reactive.md audiofilterCHOP band extraction, beat detection (slope→trigger), MIDI input, anti-Lag-CHOP warning

SKILL.md additions

  • TD 2025 API quirks (connection syntax, GLSL TOP rules, math expressions)
  • Trimmed param correction table (8 known LLM traps — defers to td_get_par_info per CRITICAL RULE Terminal tool #1)
  • Slider-to-shader wiring via td_execute_python + ParMode.EXPRESSION
  • Frame capture with run()/delayFrames (fixes TOP.save() timing)
  • TD 099 POP vs SOP rendering
  • Incremental build strategy for large scripts
  • Remote TD setup (PC over Ethernet)
  • Audio synthesis via CHOPs

Pitfalls expansion (#46-63)

Behavioral patterns only — no param-name-only entries (those are handled by td_get_par_info):

  • moviefileoutTOP par.input bug, batch frame capture, TOP.save() timing
  • Feedback masking workaround, incremental build timing
  • MCP reconnection after project.load(), TOX reverse-engineering workflow
  • create() suffix requirement, COMP reparenting via copyOPs
  • expressionCHOP crash when using op() expressions

Bias audit

Stripped from external source before merge:

  • Session-specific paths (G:/Shared-HERMES/), hardware (laser), aesthetics (v2-CMYK)
  • Pre-MCP patterns (port 9981 REST API, curl td_exec(), custom_api_handler.py)
  • Parameter-name-only corrections (30 → 8, rest deferred to live td_get_par_info)
  • Specific project naming (promo_*, 128 BPM hardcoded)

…metry references

Add 6 new reference files with generic reusable patterns:
- glsl.md: uniforms, built-in functions, shader templates, Bayer dither
- postfx.md: bloom, CRT scanlines, chromatic aberration, feedback glow
- layout-compositor.md: layoutTOP, overTOP grids, panel dividers
- operator-tips.md: wireframe rendering, feedback TOP setup
- geometry-comp.md: instancing, POP vs SOP rendering, shape morphing
- audio-reactive.md: band extraction (audiofilterCHOP), beat detection, MIDI

Expand SKILL.md with:
- TD 2025 API quirks (connection syntax, GLSL TOP rules, expression gotchas)
- Trimmed param name table (8 known LLM traps, defers to td_get_par_info)
- Slider-to-shader wiring (td_execute_python + ParMode.EXPRESSION)
- Frame capture with run()/delayFrames (TOP.save() timing fix)
- TD 099 POP vs SOP rendering rules
- Incremental build strategy for large scripts
- Remote TD setup (PC over Ethernet)
- Audio synthesis via CHOPs (LFO-driven envelope pattern)

Expand pitfalls.md (#46-63):
- Connection syntax, moviefileoutTOP bug, batch frame capture
- TOP.save() time advancement, feedback masking, incremental builds
- MCP reconnection after project.load(), TOX reverse-engineering
- sliderCOMP naming, create() suffix requirement
- COMP reparenting (copyOPs), expressionCHOP crash

All content is generic — no session-specific paths, hardware, aesthetics,
or param-name-only entries (those belong in td_get_par_info).
Bumps version 1.0.0 → 2.0.0.

- layout-compositor.md: layoutTOP, overTOP grids, panel dividers

- sliderCOMP naming, create() suffix requirement
- COMP reparenting (copyOPs), expressionCHOP crash
- Strip session-specific names in earlier pitfalls (promo_ -> my_)
- Audio device CHOP at FPS=0: active=False is the fix, not volume=0

All content is generic — no session-specific paths, hardware, aesthetics,
or param-name-only entries (those belong in td_get_par_info).
Bumps version 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0.

Salvaged from @kshitijk4poor's original PR #13664; dropped setup.sh and
troubleshooting.md changes that reverted subsequent HERMES_HOME and pgrep
fixes already on main, and preserved original author frontmatter.

Merged via PR #16624 — #16624

Your commit was cherry-picked onto current main with your authorship preserved in git log (commit 730347e). Dropped the setup.sh and troubleshooting.md changes in the original PR because they reverted subsequent fixes already on main (139a6da pgrep -x exact-match fix, HERMES_HOME env var support); kept author frontmatter as kshitijk4poor and bumped version to 1.1.0 instead of 2.0.0.

Thanks for the substantial expansion — 6 new reference files (glsl, postfx, layout-compositor, operator-tips, geometry-comp, audio-reactive) and 18 new pitfalls are all in main now.
