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.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00026 | $0.00478 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00239 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
lookdev 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 6d 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 actually says
Lookdev
Material + light + camera loop. Screenshot compare. Stop when it reads.
When to Use
- Finalizing asset shading before export/portfolio
- Turntable / grey shader checks
- Matching material references
- Bridging
materialsandlightingintentionally
Workflow
Clay/grey pass → Base materials → Neutral light rig
→ Beauty light → Screenshot → Gap list → Iterate (≤3–5)
→ Optional grade → QA
Standard Rigs
| Rig | Use |
|---|---|
| Neutral 3-point | Evaluate materials fairly |
| HDRI studio | Product / character |
| In-situ scene lights | Final context |
Keep a reusable COL_Lookdev_Lights + CAM_Lookdev_*.
Checklist
- Values read in grayscale
- Specular roughness believable
- Edges catch light (bevels/normals)
- Emissive under control
- No pure black / pure white traps unless stylized
- Matches reference palette if provided
Iteration Rule
Each pass: change one major variable (material OR light OR camera), then screenshot.
Constraints
MUST DO
- Grey pass before fancy textures when forms unsure
- Capture screenshots each iteration
- Hand off to
qa-reviewbefore ship
MUST NOT DO
- Fix modeling problems only with roughness maps
- Infinite tweak loops without gap list

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md 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.

lookdev is a skill published in the GitHub repository arjun988/blender-skills (157 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 478 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Generates AI 3D models through the Alpha3D MCP connector and imports them directly into the user's currently open Blender scene, scaled and placed to build out a described environment, prop set, or character roster. Use this skill whenever the user wants to populate, build, dress, furnish, or fill a Blender scene with…
print-design-rules
Apply 3D-printing design rules when modelling geometry in Blender that will be printed — overhang limits, wall thickness, clearances between mating parts, hole sizing, fillets and chamfers, print-in-place gaps, part orientation. Use BEFORE generating or modifying geometry intended for FDM printing, and when reviewing…
dcc-mcp-blender-setup
Set up dcc-mcp-blender for an agent or operator: install Blender Python dependencies with Blender's bundled interpreter, install a startup bridge, generate MCP host configuration, and run a first live-tool smoke prompt.
blender-import-to-scene
Blender cross-DCC asset import skill — consumes an AssetDescriptor, opens the asset file in Blender, and returns an ImportToSceneResult. Use as the receiving end of the asset import pipeline after an asset-source skill resolves the descriptor.
blender-interchange
Blender interchange skill for typed FBX/OBJ/USD imports, GLTF/USD/Alembic exports, and repeatable batch exports. Use for moving assets between DCC, game, and pipeline tools before falling back to scripting.
