name: Blender description: Control Blender from the shell via Flue - a Python bridge to bpy without an MCP server.
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
- Read
FLUE.mdin this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a workedbpyexample, and safety expectations. - If Flue is installed: also read
C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.mdandadapters/blender_adapter/APP.mdfor the operational contract, then work from there. - 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.
