TouchDesigner API Lookup

This skill allows you to query a local database of TouchDesigner documentation. ALWAYS use the provided Python scripts to query information. DO NOT read the JSON files in 

references/
directly.

Available Scripts

1. List Class Members & Methods (
list_class.py
)

Use this to get an overview of a class, including inherited members/methods. Useful when the user asks: "What parameters does Noise POP have?", "What methods are in OP?", "List properties of BaseCOMP".

Usage:

python scripts/list_class.py <ClassName>

Note: You can use the Operator name (e.g., 

NoisePOP
) or Class name (
NoisePOP_Class
).

2. Get Member/Method Details (
get_detail.py
)

Use this to get detailed information (summary, type, arguments, return values) about a specific member or method. Useful when the user asks: "How do I use the save method?", "What is the type of the 'seed' parameter?", "Arguments for cook method".

Usage:

python scripts/get_detail.py <ClassName> <MemberOrMethodName>

3. Update/Add Documentation (
scrape_docs.py
)

Use this to fetch the latest documentation from the TouchDesigner Wiki. Can scrape a single Operator or perform a batch update from the Category page.

Single Operator Usage:

python scripts/scrape_docs.py <OperatorName>

Example: 

python scripts/scrape_docs.py NoisePOP

Batch Update Usage (Sync Category): To scrape all Python classes listed on the Category:Python_Reference page:

python scripts/scrape_docs.py --category --limit 0

Use 

--limit N
to test with only the first N classes. This runs synchronously to avoid overloading the server.

Examples

User: "What parameters does the Noise POP have?" Agent:

  1. List members to find relevant ones: 
    python scripts/list_class.py NoisePOP
  2. The output shows 
    seed
    . If the user wants details on 
    seed
    : 
    python scripts/get_detail.py NoisePOP seed

User: "How do I save a POP?" Agent:

  1. Check available methods: 
    python scripts/list_class.py POP
  2. See 
    save
    method. Get details: 
    python scripts/get_detail.py POP save
