# maya-asset-source (Pipeline stage)

Asset discovery and resolution for the Maya import pipeline. This skill

produces **`AssetDescriptor`** records that `maya-import-to-scene` consumes

to perform the actual scene import.

## Workflow

```

search_assets(query) → [ AssetDescriptor, … ]

resolve_asset(path) → AssetDescriptor

↓

maya-import-to-scene: import_to_scene(descriptor)

```

## AssetDescriptor schema

Every tool in this skill that returns assets uses the following structure:

```json

{

"id": "<uuid or stable path key>",

"name": "<display name>",

"path": "<absolute file path>",

"format": "fbx | obj | usd | ma | mb",

"size_bytes": 12345,

"metadata": {}

}

```

## Scripts

- `search_assets` — Search a directory tree for asset files matching a query

- `resolve_asset` — Resolve a single path or asset ID to an `AssetDescriptor`
