Vfx Agent Toolkit — Development skill for Claude Code

vfx-agent-toolkit

Claude Code plugins and MCP connectors for VFX production. One clone gets you skills, agents, and app bridges for Nuke, Houdini, Unreal Engine, Blender, ComfyUI, Maya, Magnific, and Seedance.

**Skills teach the agent the craft; connectors give it hands in the running applications.** That split is the whole design.

Built by [Rob Williams](https://github.com/sideshowroberto), a lead VFX artist working in production - every skill in here has shipped real work. Open-sourced so you can use it, fork it, and improve it. MIT licensed.

What is this?

Two things in one repo:

• Plugins (plugins\) teach Claude Code how to do VFX work. Each plugin is a bundle of skills (production-tested knowledge loaded on demand) and agents (specialized handlers for delegated tasks).
• Connectors (connectors\) wire Claude Code to your running applications via MCP (Model Context Protocol), so Claude can create nodes in Nuke, drive Houdini, control Unreal, and so on.

What it looks like in use

You say, in Claude Code with Nuke running:

"Set up comps for the 12 shots in this CSV - plates connected, our standard grade/denoise front end, and give me a contact sheet of first frames."

The agent parses the CSV, scans the plates on disk, builds a v001 comp per shot over the Nuke MCP (Read nodes, Stamp/Anchor wiring, the front-end template), renders first-frame thumbnails, and writes a tracker CSV back to disk. That workflow is `nuke-shot-setup`, one of 70+ skills in the toolkit - the same pattern (knowledge in the skill, hands via the connector) drives Houdini scatter setups, UE PCG graphs, ComfyUI generation batches, and Blender ControlNet pass renders.

Quickstart

1. Add the marketplace inside Claude Code:

   /plugin marketplace add sideshowroberto/vfx-agent-toolkit

2. Install the foundation plugin first, then the app plugins you need:

   /plugin install vfx-core@vfx-agent-toolkit
   /plugin install nuke-vfx@vfx-age
