Authoring stage — schema-validated quick path for creating polygon

primitives and editing transforms. Use for predictable, agent-driven

primitive creation; the parameters are validated by inputSchema and the

results carry structured object names. For complex mesh editing use

maya-mesh-ops, for materials use maya-materials, and for arbitrary

modelling code drop into maya-scripting.

# maya-primitives (Authoring stage)

Schema-validated quick path for creating polygon primitives and reading /

writing transforms. The eight scripts here are intentionally narrow: they

exist so an agent can do "create N spheres / cubes / cylinders" without

falling back to `execute_python` and losing input validation,

`ToolAnnotations`, and the structured envelope.

## When to use this skill (vs alternatives)

| Goal | Use |

|------|-----|

| Place 10 spheres at scripted positions | **maya-primitives** (schema-validated) |

| Bevel an existing mesh | maya-mesh-ops |

| Build a procedural lattice from scratch | maya-scripting + execute_python |

| Set a custom user attribute | maya-attributes |

## Scripts

- `create_sphere` — Create a polygon sphere

- `create_cube` — Create a polygon cube

- `create_cylinder` — Create a polygon cylinder

- `create_plane` — Create a polygon plane

- `set_transform` — Set translate/rotate/scale on an object

- `get_transform` — Get translate/rotate/scale of an object

- `rename_object` — Rename an object in the scene

- `delete_objects` — Delete objects from the Maya scene
