Prompt

v1.0.0new

Prompt composes sibling DAT blocks into a single stable prompt output. Use it for project system prompts, reusable agent instructions, or prompt block experiments that should remain visible in the network.

Blocks are normal TouchDesigner DATs tagged prompt_block. Their vertical network position controls order. Set Identity when multiple Prompt operators share the same parent network.

Parameters

Section titled “Parameters”

Prompt

Section titled “Prompt”
Identity (optional) (Identity) op('prompt').par.Identity Str

If set, only blocks also tagged prompt_block_<identity> are composed. Use to scope multiple prompt LOPs in the same parent COMP.

Default:
"" (Empty String)
Active (Active) op('prompt').par.Active Toggle

When off, the prompt outputs an empty string and every sibling prompt block is bypassed (frozen, no cooking). Use to disable a prompt subtree without removing it.

Default:
True
Cook Mode (Cookmode) op('prompt').par.Cookmode Menu

Live: dynamic blocks cook on dependency change (typical TD behavior). Frozen: every block is bypassed and shows its last-cooked text until you pulse Refresh Blocks. Use Frozen for expensive blocks that should only run when the agent needs fresh context.

Default:
live
Options:
live, frozen
Refresh Blocks (Refreshblocks) op('prompt').par.Refreshblocks Pulse

Force a single cook of every sibling prompt block, regardless of Cook Mode. Pair with Frozen to snapshot live state into a stable prompt.

Default:
False
Refresh (Refresh) op('prompt').par.Refresh Pulse

Force the internal `out` scriptDAT to recook.

Default:
False
Block Library Header
Library Source (Librarytier) op('prompt').par.Librarytier Menu

Tier for the block library. User resolves from the active LOPs install, Project resolves under project/.lops/, Custom uses Library Folder below.

Default:
user
Options:
user, project, custom
Library Folder (Library) op('prompt').par.Library Folder

Folder of block files. Empty = bundled blocks/ folder. .md files become static textDAT blocks; .py files become dynamic scriptDAT blocks. Files starting with _ are ignored.

Default:
"" (Empty String)
Block (Block) op('prompt').par.Block Menu

Block to place. Refreshes when Library changes.

Default:
my_network
Options:
(none), current_selection, my_network, network_snapshot, selected_details
Add Block (Addblock) op('prompt').par.Addblock Pulse

Place the selected block as a sibling DAT, file-synced and tagged.

Default:
False
Load All Blocks (Loadall) op('prompt').par.Loadall Pulse

Place every block in the library at once. Skips any already placed.

Default:
False
Output Header
Blocks Found (Blockcount) op('prompt').par.Blockcount Str
Default:
"" (Empty String)
Output Length (Outputlength) op('prompt').par.Outputlength Str
Default:
"" (Empty String)
