Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add EL4CTEO/blender-skills
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add EL4CTEO/blender-skills --skill blender-addon-development — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/EL4CTEO/blender-skillscp -r "blender-skills/skills/blender-addon-development" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the blender-addon-development skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add EL4CTEO/blender-skills
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
blender-addon-development
Write Blender 5.2 add-ons as extensions - blender_manifest.toml, operators/panels/menus/property groups/preferences, bpy.props rules after 5.0, undo/redo, modal and timer patterns, gpu drawing (no bgl), bundling Python wheels, CLI validate/build/install, testing headless, extensions platform publishing. Use when creating or fixing a Blender add-on, tool, or UI.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
