Scaffold a Blender add-on as an Extensions Platform package: blender_manifest.toml, modular file layout, register_classes_factory, symmetric register/unregister. Use when the user starts a new add-on or extension, writes or fixes blender_manifest.toml, asks which layout or registration pattern to use on Blender 4.5 LTS or 5.x, or has classes that fail to register or unregister cleanly. Targets 5.2 LTS with 4.5 LTS fallback.
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
# Addon Scaffolding (Extensions Platform) ## Trigger Use this skill when the user: - Wants to start a new Blender add-on - Mentions `bl_info`, `blender_manifest.toml`, "extension", "register_classes_factory" - Is migrating an existing add-on from the legacy `bl_info` format to the Extensions Platform - Is unsure which file layout or registration pattern to use for Blender 4.5+ or 5.x ## Required inputs - **Add-on name and short id** (snake_case for the manifest `id`, human-readable `name`) - **Target Blender versions** (defaults to `blender_version_min = "4.5.0"` so the add-on works on 4.5 LTS, 5.1 and 5.2 LTS) - **Maintainer string** (`Name <email@example.com>` form) - **License SPDX identifier** (`SPDX:MIT`, `SPDX:GPL-2.0-or-later`, etc.) ## The Extensions Platform format (5.x default) Since 4.2 and required in 5.x for new submissions to the official extensions site, add-ons ship as Extensions. An Extension is a directory containing a `blender_manifest.toml` plus Python modules. ### `blender_manifest.toml` required fields ```toml schema_version = "1.0.0" id = "my_addon" version = "0.1.0" name = "My Add-on" tagline = "Short description, max 64 chars, no trailing period" …

How to install
mdr add tmhsdigital/blender-developer-tools/addon-scaffolding@sha256:15c9b2174f367b54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.96b6076, 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.
