OpenUSD Tools

SkillFiles & storage

Infrastructure skill, low-level OpenUSD scene inspection and validation: read layer stacks, traverse prims, validate USD schemas. Use when working directly with raw USD files (usda, usdc, usdz) or verifying USD compliance. Not for Maya-specific USD export, use maya-pipeline__export_usd for that. Not for full DCC pipeline workflows, use a domain pipeline skill instead.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the OpenUSD Tools skill
