What it does

Hair Groom is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Hair and fur grooming in Blender using curves, particle hair, geometry nodes, and game hair-card workflows. Use for characters, creatures, and real-time hair cards via MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cinematic-vs-game.md`, `references/groom-flow-regions.md` and `references/hair-card-atlas.md`).

It sits in Game Development. It works with Model Context Protocol and Blender. The repository describes itself as: 94 specialist Blender skills for Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro & Codex - MCP-powered production pipeline from blockout to engine export. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Real-time hair cards via MCP

Example prompts

  • “/hair-groom”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Flow first — Primary direction before flyaways
  2. Density hierarchy — Dense roots, controlled tips
  3. Clumps — Hair reads as groups, not spaghetti
  4. Silhouette — Outer shape more important than strand count
  5. Scalp bleed — Avoid bald patches at hairline

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f778d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hair Groom loads about 655 tokens when it runs, and up to ~890 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~655
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~890

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hair Groom

Believable hair flow. Scalp coverage. Cards for games. Curves/particles for cinematic.

When to Use

  • Character scalp hair, beards, brows
  • Creature fur / mane / whiskers
  • Game hair-card generation and placement
  • Cinematic curve/particle grooms

Path Decision

Target = Game / real-time  → Hair cards (+ optional proxy curves)
Target = Cinematic        → Curves or particle hair + materials
Target = Both             → High groom → bake cards / textures

Workflow (Game Cards)

Scalp mesh → Guide curves → Card strips along flow
  → Atlas UVs → Alpha/normal hair texture → LOD cards → Export

Workflow (Cinematic)

Scalp → Particle/curve groom → Clump/frizz/noise
  → Hair shader (melanin/roughness) → Render test → Cache if needed

Groom Principles

  1. Flow first — Primary direction before flyaways
  2. Density hierarchy — Dense roots, controlled tips
  3. Clumps — Hair reads as groups, not spaghetti
  4. Silhouette — Outer shape more important than strand count
  5. Scalp bleed — Avoid bald patches at hairline

Card Guidelines

LODCards (guide)Notes
Hero close-up80–200Layered shells
Standard30–80Main masses
Distant8–20Cap + few strips
  • Name: SM_HairCard_[Region]
  • Atlas: T_Hair_[Name]_RGBA (alpha in A)
  • Prefer opacity clip or hashed for Eevee preview

Naming

  • Guides: CRV_HairGuide_[Region]
  • Cards: SM_HairCard_[Region]
  • Collection: COL_Hair_[Character]

Constraints

MUST DO
  • Establish hairline and parting early
  • Match card UVs to atlas layout
  • Test silhouette from game camera angles
MUST NOT DO
  • Uniform card width everywhere
  • Skip root density near scalp
  • Over-detail flyaways before primary masses
