# maya-scene-assembly (Scene stage)

Maya Scene Assembly workflow. Wraps the
`assemblyDefinition` / `assemblyReference` node family so an agent can
assemble shots from cached / GPU / scene representations without manually
juggling the Scene Assembly menu.

## Scripts

- `create_assembly_definition` — Create an `assemblyDefinition` node
- `add_assembly_representation` — Add a representation (Locator, Cache, GPU, Scene) to an assembly
- `create_assembly_reference` — Instantiate an assembly definition into the scene
- `list_assemblies` — List all assembly definition and reference nodes
