- description: Maya material library — save, load, and manage reusable material presets and shader collections. Use when reusing materials across assets. Not for creating new materials from scratch or rendering — use maya-materials or maya-render for that.

+ Authoring stage — save / load / manage reusable material presets as JSON

+ side-files. Use for cross-shot or cross-asset shader reuse. Not for

+ building a one-off material on the fly (use maya-materials) or final

- # maya-material-library

+ # maya-material-library (Authoring stage)

- Reusable material preset management for Maya. Saves shader networks to a JSON

- library and restores them, enabling consistent look-dev across shots and assets.

+ Save, load, list, and delete JSON material presets. Lives next to

+ `maya-materials` so the agent decision tree is clear:

+ | Goal | Use |

+ |------|-----|

+ | Build a fresh shader and assign it | maya-materials |

+ | Save a shader for reuse later | **maya-material-library** |

+ | Reapply a saved look-dev preset | **maya-material-library** |

## Scripts

- `save_material` — Serialize a material and its attributes to a JSON preset file

- `load_material` — Recreate a material from a JSON preset and assign it optionally

- `list_materials` — List all preset files in a material library directory

- `delete_material_preset` — Remove a material preset file from the library
