Blender - Agents Help with 3D work

This skill lets a coding agent operate Blender on the desktop through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes Python into blender_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back. Flue is not an MCP server — it is a thinner, simpler shell contract that drives Blender's own bpy runtime directly.

agent shell -> blender_bridge.py -> bpy -> JSON result

When to use#

The human requests work performed inside Blender — inspect the open scene, collections, objects, meshes, materials, selection; make bounded edits; run small bpy scripts. A CLI agent cannot act inside Blender without a bridge like Flue.

How to proceed#

1. Read FLUE.md in this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked bpy example, and safety expectations.
2. If Flue is installed: also read C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md and adapters/blender_adapter/APP.md for the operational contract, then work from there.
3. If Flue is not installed: tell the human. The install command is pip install flue && flue setup. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.

Other apps#

Flue also supports Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Audition, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters.

Safety#

Flue acts inside professional desktop software. Treat the human as the driver; prefer small, inspectable steps; avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested. Flue is MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub / PyPI before use.
