What it does
Kiln Compose Scene is an agent skill from instruktlabs/kiln. Compose existing assets into an exported scene or interactive proving environment, with deliberate placement, terrain, materials, integration checks and runtime qualification.
Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/composition-api.md` and `references/runtime-scenes.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Game assets and audio. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Build and revise procedural 3D assets with your coding agent. Local MCP server, CLI and TypeScript engine with rendered review, editable source and GLB export. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5449adf. 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
Kiln Compose Scene loads about 788 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Compose a scene from existing assets
Use this optional workflow when the task concerns several assets. Keep placement separate from individual source authoring so moving an object does not regenerate its geometry.
A scene or environment can be a standalone deliverable. A Kiln project is optional organization for a shared brief, inventory and design profile; composing several assets does not by itself require one. When composing a project's proving scene, use its selected saved inventory revisions and preserve the individual editable assets.
Read the composition API notes when using the library. These are host/project APIs, not tools automatically added to the Kiln MCP surface.
Choose the deliverable before composing. A single scene GLB and an interactive application have different requirements; exporting a monolithic GLB is optional. For terrain, animated environments, traversal or measured optimization, read runtime scene guidance. Keep those systems in the consuming scene rather than adding them to every asset-authoring task. To reduce draw calls, count them per render pass first. Then merge by material within each animation and interaction anchor, and give shadow and reflection passes their own stand-ins. Do not flatten an asset into one mesh.
Inspect each GLB with inspectGlbIntegration(bytes) and confirm it returned a usable manifest. Use units, axes, bounds, and ground information to place the object deliberately. Give instances stable names and explicit transforms.
Start with the layout's major structures, routes and useful sightlines, then place smaller objects. Use world-space AABB checks to find candidate collisions; inspect reported intersections instead of treating every overlap as an error. Intentional embedding and empty space inside bounds both matter.
Show full SKILL.md (133 more words)Show less
When traversal is part of the brief, connect destinations with usable routes and test access through the placed doors, gates and crossings with the intended actor. Terrain and paths are scene infrastructure unless included in the asset brief. Use each asset's intended placement origin; hide an optional presentation base only through a supported part/variant rather than burying the whole plant or prop.
For a scene GLB, export with composeSceneGLB(parts, options). Select material optimization and animation retention deliberately. Review skipped-part warnings and confirm required inputs survived. For an application, retain the individual inputs and reproducible placement/runtime configuration. Inspect either result in its destination scene, including traversal, collision, contact, and relevant camera paths.
Report input assets, important transforms, intentional intersections, exporter warnings, and interactions actually checked. Do not infer playability from an overlap-free layout alone.
