What it does

Set Dressing is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Set dressing and environmental storytelling placement for interiors and exteriors using prop density, narrative clusters, and readability rules via MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/density-map.md` and `references/story-clusters.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Storytelling and Plain language and style rules. It works with Model Context Protocol. 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.

Workflow steps

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

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

Set Dressing loads about 507 tokens when it runs, and up to ~580 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~507
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~580

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.

Set Dressing

Story through placement. Controlled clutter. Readable clusters.

When to Use

Interior/exterior dressing passes
Narrative prop clusters
Avoiding empty or overstuffed spaces
After modular layout is locked

Workflow

Layout locked → Hero narrative props → Secondary clusters
  → Background filler → Decals/wear → Lighting check → QA

Density Rules

Zone	Density
Hero interact zone	High intent, low noise
Midground	Supporting story clusters
Background	Sparse; silhouette only
Traversal path	Clearance for player/camera

Cluster Method

Pick a story beat (meal abandoned, workbench used, escape rushed)
Place 3–7 props that sell the beat
Add 1–2 wear/decal cues
Stop — do not fill every surface

Prop Sources

prop-artist for unique pieces
Kitbash / modular libraries for filler
Instance repeats; vary rotation/scale slightly

Horror / Sparse Styles

Fewer props, more meaning
Negative space intentional
Coordinate with horror-style / psx-horror-style

Constraints

MUST DO

Dress after greybox navigation works
Keep player/camera paths clear
Instance repeated meshes

MUST NOT DO

Uniform clutter wallpaper
Block doors/windows without story reason
