Animato

When to use this skill

• Animate a rigged .fbx / .gltf character from a text request without opening Blender.
• Run the animation loop unattended from a key (ANIMATO_API_KEY / GEMINI_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY) instead of copy-pasting prompts into a chat window.
• Review or gate an LLM-written bpy script before a server executes it.
• Operate, debug, or health-check a local Animato server and its /api/* endpoints.

Route out when the job is rig authoring or mocap retargeting (use Blender directly), real-time gameplay effects (game-vfx), or browser playback of the finished clip (threejs-animation, threejs-loaders).
