blender-community-skill-bootstrap

name	blender-community-skill-bootstrap
description	Locate and install optional community Blender production skills from their upstream GitHub repository instead of rebundling them in this catalog. Use when an agent needs detailed generic recipes for Blender modeling, materials, UVs, lighting, cameras, rendering, animation, export, full-scene orchestration, or multi-skill harmonization and those skills are not already installed.

Blender community skill bootstrap

Use this catalog's blender-python-execution for the safe MCP/bpy transaction contract. Obtain optional generic production recipes directly from their upstream owner rather than copying them into this catalog.

Upstream source

• Repository: RobLe3/cc-blender-skill
• Known reviewed revision: 11016c9a5847897491dde935c346571bd7548e3d
• Upstream license: MIT; inspect the pinned https://github.com/RobLe3/cc-blender-skill/blob/11016c9a5847897491dde935c346571bd7548e3d/LICENSE before installing or redistributing it.
• Skill paths: plugin/skills/<skill-name>

Treat the revision as a reproducibility pin, not an endorsement or claim of local authorship. If the user requests the latest upstream version, inspect its current revision, license, and changed skill paths before installing it.

Install only what the request needs

Need	Upstream skill path
Natural-language Blender orchestration	plugin/skills/text-to-blender
Multi-skill precedence and handoffs	plugin/skills/blender-skill-harmonizer
Production ordering and critique	plugin/skills/blender-pro-workflow
Mesh creation and modifiers	plugin/skills/blender-modeling
Principled/PBR materials	plugin/skills/blender-materials
UVs, images, atlases, and baking	plugin/skills/blender-uv-texturing
Blender light rigs and worlds	plugin/skills/blender-lighting
Cameras and composition	plugin/skills/blender-cameras
Cycles/EEVEE renders	plugin/skills/blender-rendering
Keyframes, actions, and motion	plugin/skills/blender-animation
GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, or USD export	plugin/skills/blender-export

For a complete authored-scene request, install text-to-blender, blender-skill-harmonizer, and only the focused production skills required by the deliverable. Do not install the entire repository automatically.

Codex installation workflow

1. Check whether each required skill is already available and preflight every destination basename before a multi-skill install. Do not overwrite an existing skill directory or silently replace a locally modified copy. If any destination conflicts, stop or install only the explicitly approved non-conflicting subset.
2. Tell the user which upstream repository, revision, paths, and license will be used. Installing requires network access and writes to the user's Codex skill directory.
3. Invoke $skill-installer and ask it to install from GitHub with:
   • repo: RobLe3/cc-blender-skill
   • ref: 11016c9a5847897491dde935c346571bd7548e3d
   • path: the selected plugin/skills/<skill-name> entries
4. Let skill-installer request any required network approval and perform the installation. Do not reproduce its downloader in this skill.
5. Load $skill-creator and run its standard quick_validate.py against each installed skill folder. Resolve the helper through that system skill; do not assume its filesystem location. After a batch failure, inspect and report each destination separately because some skills may already have installed.
6. Tell the user the installed skills become available on the next turn. Do not claim they were used in the current turn unless they were already installed and loaded.

Equivalent helper invocation, for an environment that exposes the skill-installer script path, is:

install-skill-from-github.py \
  --repo RobLe3/cc-blender-skill \
  --ref 11016c9a5847897491dde935c346571bd7548e3d \
  --path plugin/skills/blender-modeling plugin/skills/blender-materials

Use $skill-installer rather than assuming the helper's filesystem location.

Local execution and safety overlay

Upstream recipes do not override this catalog's current safety rules:

• preserve the user's scene and work in a caller-owned copy before destructive operations;
• execute through blender-python-execution as bounded, idempotent transactions with structured and visual checks;
• inspect Blender version compatibility before using version-specific RNA;
• never block Blender's main thread with time.sleep();
• keep viewport screenshots distinct from native OVRTX evidence;
• use the documented OVRTX/OVPhysX add-on and native-client workflows rather than creating another bridge or transport.

If installation is declined or unavailable, continue only with locally installed capabilities. State the missing production skill instead of inventing an unreviewed Blender recipe or claiming that guidance-only instructions were executed.
