Livecoding — TidalCycles + Hydra workflow

A skill for the algorave / livecoded-electronic-music workflow. You write code in real time → patterns emit OSC messages → SuperDirt synthesizes the audio → Hydra renders matching visuals. Same lineage as #livecode #electronicmusic #algorave.

This is code-as-music, not AI-generated music. The aesthetic comes from polyrhythmic + cyclic structure idiomatic to the tool, not from a generative model. For AI-music generation (Suno / Udio / MusicGen), that's a separate stack — out of scope here.

When to invoke

User intent Workflow Quick command
"Get me set up" / fresh install / "is everything working?" Boot Walk prereq check + boot ritual
