maya-rigging SKILL.md skillA

maya-rigging from dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-rigging@git:20260915.f50f65c

Pins git:20260915.f50f65c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Authoring stage — character / prop rigging: joints, IK, skin clusters, deformers, blend shapes, control curves, skin weights, constraints, and optional rig framework detection. Use when constructing rigs. Not for keyframe animation (maya-animation), pose libraries (maya-pose-library), or final scene assembly (maya-scene-assembly).

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-rigging (Authoring stage)

Joint hierarchies, IK handles, constraints, skin clusters, skin-weight transfer,
deformers, blend shapes, optional rig framework detection, control curves, and
editable hair guide curves. Twenty-one scripts cover the typical rigging loop.

`get_skin_weights` reads an explicit bounded vertex subset (or the whole mesh
when it fits the limit) and reports per-vertex totals plus an
`unnormalized_vertices` count. It never silently truncates a large mesh.
`set_skin_weights` accepts only complete normalized rows for known influences,
clears omitted influence values on those vertices, and verifies every effective
native value before reporting success.
`export_rig_state` deterministically reports bounded joint hierarchy,
constraints, NURBS controls, and per-skin normalization health. Large rigs fail
closed instead of returning a partial snapshot.

`create_guide_curve` is the bounded guide-authoring contract: every open curve
has one cluster ID, one solid RGB viewport color, root-to-tip CV order, arc
length and cluster-median deviation metrics, and an optional measured root
projection distance against an explicit scalp mesh. It accepts only named
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-rigging@sha256:8ebcab729b7da8dc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.f50f65c, 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.
