Use when doing any Autodesk Maya task through Python or a bridge, headless or live: maya.cmds or OpenMaya 2.0 scripts, mayapy or maya.standalone batch jobs, a commandPort or MCP connection into a running Maya, "Maya 2027", validating or exporting scenes, or a maya.cmds script that fails after the 2025 to 2027 changes (PySide6, OpenPBR, renamed math nodes, removed flags). Also when a Maya model, rig, shot or render must be judged like a professional before it is called done, or a brief must be…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Maya expert (router and agent protocol)

Expert Maya work is a loop, not a script: block big to small, and at every stage measure, render,
look and fix before adding detail. This skill is the protocol every Maya task follows, the shared
toolkit the other scenario-maya-* skills call, and the map to them. Target: Maya 2027 on macOS Apple
Silicon, driven through Python. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills,
ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended,
proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.

**Status (2026-09-24):** Maya 2027 is not installed yet. Every Maya call in [`scripts/`](scripts/)
and `references/` is **not yet run in Maya**. The pure-Python parts and the Maya-layer logic ran
offline against fakes and pass. First action once Maya is installed:
`tests/code/maya-expert/run_all.sh`, then read
`archive/tests/maya-expert/<stamp>/results/test_00_probe.json` and correct anything marked [verify]
here.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-maya-expert@sha256:fb3beb06b09928ea

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.88ccf82, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
