What it does
Creature Animation is an agent skill from TheOrcDev/skills. Author, gate, preview and install production animation sets for Final Stand creatures (quadrupeds, arthropods, flyers, hybrids) using the Plan 009 pipeline in tools/3d/animationquality/creatures. Use when adding a creature to the roster, re-authoring a creature's Idle/Locomotion/BasicAttack/Hit/Death/Cast clips, fixing a rejected animation, running the reimport gates or Unity install, or when the user mentions creature animation, bites, deaths, gaits, reels, Plan 009 or the animal roster.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `RULES.md` and `WORKFLOW.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. The repository describes itself as: Skills for True Dev Warriors.
When your agent uses it
- Adding a creature to the roster
- Re-authoring a creatures Idle/Locomotion/BasicAttack/Hit/Death/Cast clips
- Fixing a rejected animation
- Running the reimport gates
Example prompts
- “/creature-animation”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Contract comes from ArtSource/3D/Roster/subjects.json only (clips, lineage, scale). Never redefine it in tooling.
- Inspect the production FBX (inspect_sources.py); confirm the scaffold rig, bone names, rigid parts, facing.
- Add a calibration entry in calibration.py: family template + species overrides (gait, attack type, death type, jaw). referenced_bones must…
- Trial with --trial --render keys, look at the contact sheet, fix until gates.evaluate passes AND it reads right.
- Official run, Unity install, README, commit with explicit paths, push, board entry.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb7eaa5. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Creature Animation loads about 858 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 316 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 316 words (~858 tokens).
“One rule set, one pipeline, every creature: existing rig → correction → species-specific actions → baked exports → independent reimport gates → labeled reels → Unity install → commit per slice. Read RULES.md before authoring; run WORKFLOW.md commands as written.”
