Pre-releaseBlendOps v0.1.0-draft — first Draft v0 skills layer release

3-mode auto-detect install flow: Mode A (project-local), Mode B (multiple Skills ZIP for chat-only UIs), Mode C (blocked-needs-input). Documented in docs/ai-agent-quickstart.md + README 30-second prompt.
Scope clarification
BlendOps publishes the skills layer above. BlendOps redirects to the following upstream runtime paths but does not own them:
- Path 1 — Lab MCP (Blender Foundation, blender.org/lab/mcp-server) hosted from either Anthropic Blender Connector (Claude Desktop one-click toggle) or any other MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Continue, Zed, goose, etc.) configured manually. Requires Blender 5.1+.
- Path 2 — Community
ahujasid/blender-mcp(21K+ stars). Requires Blender 3.0+. - CLI fallback (
blender --background --python ..., docs.blender.org/manual/.../command_line). Decades-stable upstream first-class CLI surface.
Path 1 + Path 2 are user-reported verified by the repo owner.
Release assets
The 16 ZIPs attached to this release are produced by npm run skills:export from this exact tag. Each ZIP contains exactly one top-level skill directory with one SKILL.md file, conforming to Anthropic Skills frontmatter spec (≤200-char description, no version: / status: keys). Drag-drop them into Claude Desktop / Claude.ai / ChatGPT Skills UI to import.
For users in coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, etc.), use the README 30-second install prompt to install project-locally.
Truth labels
- Runtime status:
Not Run(refers to in-repo per-recipe captured eval files; the upstream paths themselves are user-reported verified by repo owner). - Artifacts:
Not Produced(refers to in-repo captured render/GLB files; users produce real artifacts on their own machines via the redirect paths). - Skill upload to chat-app UIs (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop): manual user action; ZIPs are correctly shaped.
Verified at release time
npm run docs:checkvalidates 182 active markdown files against runtime model, frontmatter spec, evidence rules, and link integrity.npm run skills:exportproduces 16 ZIPs + 16 Claude Code skill folders from the same skill source.- All 16 skills + EVALs registered in
scripts/check-docs.mjs.
Not yet in this release (future deferred work)
npx blendopsinstaller (spec only atdocs/install/installer-spec.md).- Marketplace / plugin listings (gated on upstream listing acceptance).
- Web-ready 3D output implementation specifics (planning specs only at this point).
- Captured per-path runtime evidence files under
docs/evals/(optional operator-side provenance). - Additional skills beyond the current 16 (planned roadmap toward ~48 skills total).
Inspirations
- Blender Lab MCP — official runtime path.
ahujasid/blender-mcp— community runtime path.
