Use when grooming hair or fur in Maya with XGen (Interactive Groom splines or legacy descriptions): scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, fur, guides, clumps, noise, parting, density maps, a fill layer, aiStandardHair shading, noisy or flickering hair renders, hair that must move (Linear Wire, nHair, Alembic caches), or a groom for Unreal (groom Alembic, cards). Also when XGen hair looks CG, clumps look uniform, the scalp shows through, or an XGen script fails.
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
# Hair and fur grooming (XGen Interactive Groom, Maya 2027) Expert grooming sets the flow on a few guides first, then a clump hierarchy with loose roots and varied profiles, then breakup only where the reference shows it (tips, strays), judged in close, side-lit renders with the real hair shader. Interactive Groom brushes have no stroke API, so the agent grooms with data (guides from a flow sheet wired into the stack, masks written as images, modifiers set by value) and judges with numbers from exported strands plus renders. Code: [`scripts/mx_groom.py`](scripts/mx_groom.py) (`import mx_groom as G`). 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). **Status (2026-09-24):** every Maya call here is **not yet run in Maya** (2027 not installed). The pure layer of `mx_groom` passes offline (`tests/code/maya-groom/test_mx_groom_offline.py`). Names not quoted from the 2027 help resolve at run time from `G.NAME_CANDIDATES`. …

How to install
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-maya-groom@sha256:5447ac2b3dfea946The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.9ac7861, 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.
