Use when animating a character or prop in Maya through Python: a walk or run cycle, a jump or landing, a heavy lift, throw or punch, an acting or dialogue shot, lip sync, eye darts and blinks, stepped blocking, splining, polish, Graph Editor tangents, animation layers, mocap cleanup or retargeting, game clips and root motion, or reviewing a playblast. Also when motion looks floaty, weightless, mushy, poppy, posey, sliding or chattery, or feet slap or skate.
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 animation (animator) Expert animation means every frame is a choice: poses that read as drawings from the camera, holds and snaps placed on purpose, designed spacing, weight shown by resistance and a caught stop. Work big to small (story, body, face, detail); never add detail to a stage that does not read yet. An agent cannot scrub, so it measures (world and screen tracks, spacing, holds, contacts, a ballistic fit, overlap lags), then looks at a playblast or a headless sheet before calling anything done. 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. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-maya-expert (execution channel, review loop, 2027 version traps). Toolkit: [`scripts/mx_anim.py`](scripts/mx_anim.py). Its analysis and image layer is pure Python and ran offline. ## Stance (the expert delta) - **Pick the workflow per shot; blocking ends when the information is in.** Neistadt: pose to pose for acting, straight ahead or extremes for flow; blocking is done when all five key categories …

How to install
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-maya-animation@sha256:617d7b3dc15d6875The 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.
