## What it does

The skill controls the Meshy CLI tool at version 0.4.3 to produce digital 3D assets. It triggers tasks asynchronously with `create --async`, monitors progress using `wait`, and writes delivered files straight into the designated project workspace.

Local inputs have a 50 MiB ceiling, and local models must be formatted as GLB or glTF. Rigging requires GLB files specifically. If your files exceed this limit or use other formats, pass them through the supported URL route instead. Session setup runs via `auth login --device` with browser confirmation, keeping credentials out of chat conversations.

This workflow focuses solely on digital graphics. It will not prepare meshes for fabrication, because physical workflows belong to the companion skill `meshy-3d-printing`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --skill meshy-3d-generation -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/meshy-3d-generation/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --skill meshy-3d-generation -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --skill meshy-3d-generation -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent meshy-3d-generation
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --skill meshy-3d-generation -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --path skills/meshy-3d-generation
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent --skill meshy-3d-generation -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent/tree/HEAD/skills/meshy-3d-generation/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate digital 3D models from text prompts or images
- texture existing GLB and glTF mesh files
- configure character rigging and animations
- save delivered 3D assets into a workspace directory

## Example prompts
- Generate a low-poly chest in GLB format and save it into ./assets/models
- Apply realistic textures to ./character.glb and configure its rigging

# Meshy 3D Generation

Use Meshy CLI **0.4.3** to turn the user's request into a delivered asset. Completion means
saving the requested files in the requested location, inspecting an available preview, and
finishing any project integration the user requested. Login or task submission alone is not
completion. Choose the shortest suitable pipeline and reuse existing assets for follow-ups.

## Read what this request needs

| Need | Reference |
|---|---|
| CLI runner, credentials, or output location | [Setup](references/setup.md) |
| Generation, texturing, rigging, animation, or conversion | [Pipelines](references/pipelines.md) |
| Cost, waiting, preview, delivery, or finding a previous model | [Delivery](references/delivery.md) |
| Failed or uncertain operation | [Troubleshooting](references/troubleshooting.md) |

Read the relevant section when needed; recipes are examples to adapt to the requested result,
not a requirement to execute every stage. An untextured model skips texture generation; an
existing GLB needs no extra format conversion. Use command help when parameters are uncertain.

## First use and authorization

Resolve the runner automatically: use compatible `meshy`, otherwise
`npm exec --yes --package=meshy-cli@0.4.3 -- meshy …`. Reuse a verified session. If login is
needed, follow Setup and run `auth login --device` in a persistent tool session. Show its
verification URL and user code in **commentary/progress, not a final answer**. Await that same
session in this turn until it exits, verify `auth status`, then continue the original request.
A background process cannot resume a finished turn; do not require a "done" chat message.
Browser approval stays with the user; credentials never belong in chat.

## Execution boundaries

- Run API, upload, download and mesh operations through the CLI. Local inputs have a 50 MiB
  limit, and a local model must be GLB or glTF (rigging and multicolor: GLB); use the supported
  URL input route for anything else.
- Use `--output-schema v1 --format json --no-update-check` for business commands; auth has
  its own JSON shape. Resolve `WORKSPACE` from the user's output path and pass it to writes.
- Submit once with `create --async`, retain the owning resource and ID, then `wait` on that
  task. Keep the agent turn active while awaiting a running command. Follow Troubleshooting
  on timeout or unknown submission; these do not authorize another paid create.
- Continue work within the user's approved scope and budget. Propose additional paid stages
  or reruns before spending; Delivery specifies estimates and balance checks.

## Deliver

Download only needed assets. Inspect and show a preview when available; a missing preview
