MTP Skill (beta)

MTP Skill is an Agent Skill for steering LLM output through the /mtp command.

Instead of adding long natural-language behavior instructions to the prompt body, MTP Skill converts short settings such as power:70, J:4, or maverick into constraints that shape tone, structure, and exploration depth.

First commands

Try one of these prompts after adding MTP Skill.

/mtp power:70
Summarize this text in a shorter form.

/mtp focus:70
List the important effects of this specification change.

/mtp maverick
Expand the possibilities for this plan.

Input modes

Mode	Example	Use
Slider	`/mtp power:70`	Specify a tendency and intensity directly
Grid	`/mtp J:4`	Specify a point on the 19x19 MTP grid
Preset	`/mtp maverick`	Call a named combination of coordinates

All three modes resolve to the same internal shape: MTP axis, polarity, and intensity. The sections below describe the full input formats.

Basic form

/mtp <arguments>
<prompt>

/mtp can appear at the start, middle, or end of a message.

/mtp power:70
Summarize this text.

Summarize this text. /mtp power:70

If several /mtp segments appear in one message, their arguments are merged in source order and the /mtp <arguments> parts are removed from the prompt body.

Node names

Each MTP axis has a Side A node and a Side B node. Positive values activate Side A. Negative values activate the opposite side.

Axis	Side A	Side B
Yellow	`open`	`still`
Red	`power`	`void`
Magenta	`return`	`surge`
Green	`grow`	`wither`
Transparent	`helix`	`collapse`
White	`focus`	`haze`
Cyan	`enter`	`drift`
Blue	`flow`	`abyss`
Purple	`close`	`fade`

For conceptual descriptions of the nodes, see Node Reference.

Slider

/mtp <node>:<intensity>

<intensity> is a value from 0 to 100.

/mtp power:70
/mtp focus:30
/mtp flow:50

Negative values activate the opposite side of the same axis.

/mtp power:-70

The same axis can also be specified by color name. A positive color value activates Side A, and a negative color value activates Side B.

/mtp yellow:70
/mtp yellow:-70

For the Yellow axis, yellow:70 is equivalent to open:70, and yellow:-70 is equivalent to still:70.

Grid

/mtp <column>:<row>

The MTP grid is 19x19.

Columns: A to S
Rows: 1 to 19
Center: J:10

/mtp J:4
/mtp D:16
/mtp A:1

Hyphen form is also accepted.

/mtp G-10

The compiler calculates axis, polarity, and intensity from the coordinate. J:10 is the neutral center and does not emit an active constraint.

For the full coordinate model, see Grid and Coordinate System.

Preset

Presets expand to predefined MTP tokens before parsing.

Preset	Expansion
`synthesizer`	`D:16 A:1`
`strategist`	`P:16 P:4`
`maverick`	`D:4 A:19`
`concierge`	`J:13 D:10`

/mtp synthesizer
Outline the key points.

Preset definitions are maintained in skills/mtp/references/presets.yaml.

Multiple arguments

Different axes can be combined.

/mtp open:30 flow:30
Adjust this draft for readability.

Multiple /mtp segments are merged in order.

Same-axis conflicts

If several tokens target the same axis, the last token wins after preset expansion.

/mtp power:70 void:30

In this example, both tokens target the Red axis, so void:30 is effective for that axis.

Neutral values

These inputs are valid, but they do not generate active constraints.

/mtp power:0
/mtp yellow:0
/mtp J:10

Invalid input

Invalid tokens are ignored.

/mtp foobar:20
/mtp haze:xx
/mtp G:10foo

Depending on the host, warnings may appear in execution logs.

Help commands

When the host exposes command output, these helper commands can be used.

/mtp help
/mtp help sliders
/mtp help grid
/mtp help presets
/mtp list
/mtp list presets

Implementation references

Detailed examples and compiler checks are available in skills/mtp/USAGE.md.

Installation: add MTP Skill by ZIP or CLI.
Customization: edit node definitions and presets for custom skill behavior.
MTP Playlist Skill: build a node-mapped music sequence from a theme.
MTP overview: learn the framework terms behind MTP.
Comparisons: review qualitative output comparisons.

Beta

MTP Skill is in beta. The basic /mtp <arguments> formats are usable, but node definitions and constraint expressions may change as comparison tests accumulate.

For strict comparison records, save the MTP Skill version, model name, prompt, and /mtp arguments together.
