maya-asset-source (Pipeline stage)

Asset discovery and resolution for the Maya import pipeline. This skill produces AssetDescriptor records that maya-import-to-scene consumes to perform the actual scene import.

Workflow

search_assets(query)  →  [ AssetDescriptor, … ]
resolve_asset(path)   →  AssetDescriptor
         ↓
maya-import-to-scene: import_to_scene(descriptor)

AssetDescriptor schema

Every tool in this skill that returns assets uses the following structure:

{
  "id":        "<uuid or stable path key>",
  "name":      "<display name>",
  "path":      "<absolute file path>",
  "format":    "fbx | obj | usd | ma | mb",
  "size_bytes": 12345,
  "metadata":  {}
}

Scripts

• search_assets — Search a directory tree for asset files matching a query
• resolve_asset — Resolve a single path or asset ID to an AssetDescriptor
