| description | Authoring skill — lightweight SOP mesh operations that append standard SOPs downstream of an input: transform, merge, blast/delete, group create, normals, triangulate, and convert. Each tool wires the new node into the network and returns its path for chaining. Use with houdini-geometry for inspection. |

houdini-mesh-ops
Typed mesh-edit tools that build procedural SOP networks. Every tool creates a
standard SOP downstream of the provided input_path, wires input 0, sets the
display flag, and returns the new node path so calls chain naturally.
All tools are affinity: main (they call hou).
Tool group
mesh-edit: transform_geometry, merge_geometry, blast_geometry
(destructive), group_geometry, add_normals, triangulate_geometry,
convert_geometry.

blast_geometry is flagged destructive because it removes geometry; pass
delete_non_selected=true to invert the selection (keep the group).
