Build a boids-style GPU particle flock: position and velocity are simulated entirely on the GPU in two RGBA32float feedback-TOP loops, where the velocity shader implements the t...

Build a DJ/VJ phrase-quantized cue-lock engine. Any incoming pulse CHOP (Button, MIDI In, OSC In, composeCueList trigger) is queued FIFO and fired on the next 1/2/4/8/16/32/64-b...

Build a programmable signed-distance-field (SDF) raymarcher in TouchDesigner as a self-contained GLSL TOP. Compose a CSG tree of sphere / box / torus primitives with union / int...

Build a hands-light stage navigator (the QLab model) for stepping through an ordered scene/cue list: Next / Prev to move the pointer, Go to fire the current scene

Layer-1 wall-clock setlist player for rehearsed VJ shows. Pass

Compile Shader Park JavaScript sculpture code with shader-park-core and instantiate it as a self-contained TouchDesigner GLSL MAT scene with live controls. Use the companion sha...

Build a live-show watchdog: a Switch TOP (blend=1 cross-dissolve) between a primary source TOP (NDI/camera/Spout/Syphon path, or a synthetic noiseTOP when none is given) and an ...

EXPERIMENTAL — One-call

Build a GPU simulation:

Build a multi-line animated text crawl / ticker / credits roll / typewriter reveal inside a self-contained baseCOMP. Three modes:

Create a complete visual system from a natural-language description. Classifies intent (audio-reactive, particle, feedback, reaction-diffusion, landscape, generative) and delega...

EXPERIMENTAL monophonic pitch tracker. Estimates the dominant musical pitch of live audio and exposes pitch_hz (frequency in Hz), note (MIDI note number), and confidence (peak m...

Wraps the community StreamDiffusionTD.tox (by dotsimulate) into a one-shot Layer 1 setup: locate the .tox via candidate-path discovery, drop it into a fresh baseCOMP, wire a cam...

Use the schema + LLM to propose values for a tool call

Run score_build, ask the configured LLM for up to N allowlisted tool calls that would raise the weakest sub-scores, and optionally auto-apply them. autoApply mutates the project...

Escape hatch — invoke an arbitrary Python method on a node (operator). Prefer structured tools where one exists; use this for operations they don

Escape hatch — run an arbitrary Python script inside the TouchDesigner process. Prefer the structured tools (find_td_nodes, get_td_node_parameters, update_td_node_parameters, su...

Turn any image (a file path or an existing TOP) into a GPU particle field: each particle

Build a GLSL TOP from a Shadertoy URL, ID, or pasted source. Wires iChannels (defaulting to noise placeholders), exposes Speed (and optional Mouse) controls, and captures a prev...

Install a local package folder, zip, tox, or manifest into a local tdmcp package directory.

Ingest 1..6 moodboard images and build a matching generative system in TouchDesigner. Uses the vision-capable local LLM when configured to extract palette + motion + generator p...

Scan a network for cook-time bottlenecks and (optionally) fix them. By default it reports the slowest nodes with a concrete suggestion each. With apply:true it lowers the resolu...

Reconstruct a live network inside a COMP from a serialize_network spec — the REBUILD half of a git-diffable round-trip. Takes a JSON spec of nodes (name, operator type, paramete...
