Two pieces of work.
1. Keep milestones, not steps. Staged NN_*.py lanes were saving a full
~80 MB .blend per attempt, so Lena's lane reached 3.0 GB of which 2.2 GB
was 30 .blend files -- five snapshots to land one crotch fix, five more
for the bra. The .py recipes are the real history; the blends are cache.
- .agents/rules/working-files.md: four-tier policy (KEEP / MASTER /
SCRATCH / UNKNOWN) + how to work a lane.
- tools/prune_lane.py: classifies a lane and prunes the scratch tier.
Dry-run by default. Reads a per-lane .lanekeep manifest, flags
binaries byte-identical to a registered original (canonical name
always survives a duplicate pair), and never auto-deletes a .blend
with no step script beside it -- those cannot be rebuilt.
- .gitignore: scratch patterns can never be committed.
Dry run on characters/female/lena_nude reports 2.3 GB reclaimable.
Not applied -- that lane had a live Blender session at the time.
2. .humans/marvelous-designer.html: how we author garments in Marvelous
Designer, written for people rather than agents -- the six-step process,
what has been made, the traps that cost hours, and what is still
unsolved. Matches the .humans/ HTML convention in ariki-game.
Also committing the docs the AGENTS.md knowledge map and the new page
reference, so they are not dangling: the clothing-lane architecture page,
the marvelous-designer skill, and the two screenshots the page embeds.
characters/ is deliberately untracked and stays that way -- it holds GBs of
blends and GLBs, and .gitattributes does not LFS-track .blend.

# AGENTS.md — animation repo
|
|
|
|
Entry point for AI agents working in `local.repo/animation` (all tools: pi,
|
|
Claude Code, Cursor). This repo is Jeremy's animation-pipeline hub **and** the
|
|
Mac↔PC bridge that carries iClone/mocap exports into `ariki-game`. iClone 8 +
|
|
Video Mocap live on the PC; Blender 5, the retarget tools, and the game repo
|
|
live on both machines.
|
|
|
|
Read `.agents/SOUL.md` at session start, then use the knowledge map below —
|
|
this file stays thin; the operational detail lives in `.claude/skills/` and
|
|
`.agents/`.
|
|
|
|
## Knowledge map
|
|
|
|
| Category | Path | When |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Identity | `.agents/SOUL.md` | always-on |
|
|
| Batch workflow, canonical retarget command, naming, loop QC, gotchas, repo etiquette | `.claude/skills/animation/SKILL.md` | always-on — read before any batch or clip work |
|
|
| Architecture (pipeline stages, canonical rig, tool provenance) | `.agents/wiki/ARCHITECTURE.md` | consult when touching the pipeline |
|
|
| Per-system architecture detail | `.agents/wiki/architecture/` | consult-when |
|
|
| **Clothing lane** — how a reference image becomes a worn in-game outfit (both halves, and where they meet) | `.agents/wiki/architecture/clothing-lane.md` | read before any garment/outfit work |
|
|
| Garment authoring in Marvelous Designer (bridge, drafting, draping, QC) | `.claude/skills/marvelous-designer/SKILL.md` | always-on for garment authoring |
|
|
| Garment mesh → game-ready skinned outfit GLB (headless Blender) | `clothing/README.md` | always-on for the game-ification half |
|
|
| In-flight work + recently shipped | `.agents/wiki/master-plan.md` | check before starting new work |
|
|
| Dance/clip naming registry (source of truth for names) | `.agents/wiki/dances/REGISTRY.md` | always-on when naming or shipping a clip |
|
|
| PC-lane routing stub | `.agents/wiki/iclone-bridge.md` | consult-when |
|
|
| Point-in-time audits / convergence reports | `.agents/wiki/devops-reports/` | consult-when |
|
|
| Open/executing plans | `.agents/plans/` | consult-when |
|
|
| Other operator playbooks (iClone/mocap, clip authoring, pose estimation) | `.claude/skills/` (index: `.agents/skills/README.md`) | consult-when |
|
|
| Loop-QC sub-agent | `.claude/agents/loop-qc.md` | consult-when |
|
|
| Repo-wide conventions | `.agents/rules/` | always-on |
|
|
| **Working files** — keep milestones, not steps: which `.blend`/render dirs survive a staged lane, and how to prune the rest | `.agents/rules/working-files.md` | read before running any staged `NN_*.py` lane |
|
|
| Exchange-folder operator guide (which folder, when files move/archive) | `exchange/GUIDE.md` | consult-when doing a batch |
|
|
| Human-facing explainer pages (HTML, for Jeremy/Özlem — not a source of truth) | `.humans/` | consult-when explaining the repo to a person |
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
AGENTS.md ← you are here
|
|
.agents/ ← agent context: SOUL, wiki (architecture/master-plan/registry/
|
|
devops-reports), plans, rules, skills-pointer
|
|
.claude/ ← Claude-Code-native skills + agents (auto-discovered)
|
|
tools/ ← Blender-headless retargeters, loop tools, prop export,
|
|
md_bridge* (drive Marvelous Designer), tailor/ (garment
|
|
authoring: recipes, measurements, QC, screenshots)
|
|
characters/ ← character body models: originals/ (read-only Tripo sources) +
|
|
per-character working folders (male/mako, female/lena).
|
|
Naming law in characters/REGISTRY.md — applies to all new
|
|
derived models
|
|
clothing/ ← garment mesh → game-ready outfit GLB (staged Blender pipeline)
|
|
garments/ ← raw incoming garment sources + design advice notes
|
|
exchange/ ← files in flight between Mac and PC (see exchange/GUIDE.md)
|
|
archive/ ← retired takes — never deleted, never renumbered
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Two lanes run through this repo: the **animation lane** (motion → clips) and the
|
|
**clothing lane** (garments → outfits). They converge on the same 65-bone
|
|
Quaternius skeleton.
|
|
|
|
## Git
|
|
|
|
- Branch is **`main`**. Sync via **`tinqs push`/`tinqs pull`** (not raw git —
|
|
this repo uses Git LFS for `.fbx/.glb/.mp4/.task`; a plain `git pull` hangs).
|
|
Report the commit hash after pushing.
|
|
- **Stage explicit paths, never `git add -A`** — ariki-game and this repo often
|
|
carry unrelated in-flight files.
|
|
- Never commit secrets.
|
|
|
|
## The rule that bites most often
|
|
|
|
**Green verify ≠ correct.** An agent-authored gate once passed an upside-down
|
|
boat export. Always render and eyeball a new visual asset before shipping —
|
|
full gotcha list in `.claude/skills/animation/SKILL.md`.
