BlendOps Claude Desktop Router Skill
Purpose
Provide one main Claude Desktop-facing skill entrypoint that routes to the correct BlendOps reference summary while preserving runtime/artifact truth.
How to use this router
- Classify user intent (help/routing, planning, runtime readiness, evidence, handoff, communication).
- Consult
references/skill-map.mdto choose the relevant subskill summary. - Apply law summaries from
references/laws/before final output. - Keep runtime/artifact states explicit.
Reference-first routing
Use these references as needed:
- skill routing:
references/skill-map.md - runtime stacks:
references/runtime-stacks.md - evidence policy:
references/evidence-rules.md - install/runtime boundary:
references/install-boundary.md - concise subskill summaries:
references/skills/*.md - concise law summaries:
references/laws/*.md - pack summary:
references/packs/product-hero-v0.md
Do not duplicate all subskills in this router. Route and apply the relevant reference file(s).
Runtime and artifact truth
Always state:
- Runtime status:
Not Run | Attempted | Produced | Verified | Failed - Artifact status:
Not Produced | Produced | Verified | Failed
Do not claim preview/render/GLB artifacts without evidence.
Runtime path policy
Preserve the 2-path + CLI appendix runtime model (replaces older 3-stack and 4-route drafts that mis-described how the Anthropic Connector relates to Blender Lab MCP):
- Path 1 — Official Blender Lab MCP (Lab add-on + Lab server in Blender 5.1+, hosted from either (a) Anthropic Blender Connector in Claude Desktop, or (b) any other MCP client configured manually). Anthropic Connector is not standalone — Anthropic's tutorial step 2 tells you to install the Lab add-on inside Blender. The 5.1+ floor applies regardless of host option.
- Path 2 — Community
ahujasid/blender-mcp(differentaddon.py+ server viauvx blender-mcp, mature 21K+ stars third-party, Blender 3.0+). - CLI fallback (appendix) — direct
blender --background --python, no MCP. Documented upstream as a first-class Blender CLI surface; no in-repo evidence file yet.
Single-bridge constraint: Blender accepts one MCP bridge session per Blender instance. Do not run Path 1 + Path 2 concurrently against the same Blender instance.
