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.
