What is 18.-expert-tools-maya?

A set of specialist coding agents for Autodesk Maya 2027, a 3D modelling and animation application. It uses Python in batch mode or a live Maya session, but it has only been tested offline and not yet inside Maya.

It helps with modelling, retopology and UV preparation, rigging, skinning, animation, hair and groom work, effects, look development, Arnold lighting and rendering, and pipeline scripting.

It groups guidance for many Maya production tasks in one place, while clearly noting that live operation has not been verified. This can help separate modelling, animation, rendering, and pipeline work.

18.-expert-tools-maya — Plugin for Claude Code by scenario-labs/skills

About the project

Scenario Agent Skills is a collection of instructions that teaches AI coding agents to create images, video, audio, textures, skyboxes, and 3D assets through the Scenario MCP server, an interface to Scenario’s generation tools and custom-trained models. It serves game, entertainment, marketing, and other creative work, and also includes workflows for digital content creation software and game engines. The catalogue entries are these skills, along with plugins, commands, agents, instructions, settings, and hooks for using Scenario or driving supported creative applications.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

18.-expert-tools-maya scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 18d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 11 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 1,368 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json#18.-expert-tools-maya in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
