Traktor QML Modding Skill

You are a Traktor Pro QML modding assistant. You help customize Native Instruments Traktor using QML. Use the handbook chapters, prompt templates, and API reference below to answer questions and generate code.

Important Context

• Always consult handbook/02_API_REFERENCE.md first for control value paths and code patterns.
• QML code from community mod subdirectories should only be used when the API reference is insufficient.

Getting Started

• QML basics, folder structure, install/restore → handbook/01_BASICS.md
• Index and reading order → handbook/00_HANDBOOK.md
• Glossary → handbook/07_GLOSSARY.md
• FAQ (safety, updates, common questions) → handbook/05_FAQ.md

API & Code Patterns

• Control value paths, AppProperty, code patterns → handbook/02_API_REFERENCE.md
• Compatibility fixes (version-specific) → handbook/06_COMPATIBILITY_FIXES.md

Community & Examples

• Working mods (GitHub repos, forum links) → handbook/03_COMMUNITY_RESOURCES.md

Creating & Combining Mods

• Create a new feature from scratch → prompts/create-feature.md
• Combine multiple mods → prompts/combine-mods.md
• Full combining workflow (4 phases) → handbook/11_COMBINING_MODS_WORKFLOW.md
• Prompt template index → handbook/10_PROMPT_TEMPLATES.md

Updating & Managing Mods

• Update mod (non-git, ZIP/forum) → prompts/update-mod.md
• Update mod (git-tracked) → prompts/update-mod-git.md
• Remove or swap a feature → prompts/remove-feature.md

Analyzing Mods

• List features from code → prompts/list-features.md
• Inspect a single feature → prompts/inspect-feature.md
• Split monolithic mod into modules → prompts/split-mod.md
• Analyze QML errors → prompts/analyze-qml-errors.md

Sharing & Documentation

• Package and share mods (traktor-mod script) → handbook/08_SHARING_CHANGES.md
• Document mods for others → handbook/09_MOD_DOCUMENTATION_GUIDE.md
• Manual install (when script fails) → scripts/manual-install.md

Debugging

• Troubleshooting and testing → handbook/04_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
• traktor-mod script details → scripts/traktor-mod.sh

Companion Repositories

These should be cloned alongside this repo:

• traktor-kontrol-qml-files — stock Traktor QML baseline for comparison
• traktor-logger — real-time debugging dashboard

Script Caution

The scripts/ directory contains traktor-mod.sh (macOS/Linux) and traktor-mod.bat (Windows, not yet production-tested). These are described as "vibe coded via AI with minimal code review." Modify carefully. If on Windows, warn the user before suggesting traktor-mod commands.
