Writing Attributes

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to write an attribute, set a property, change a material, set a color, or modify mesh data.

Inputs

Resolve inputs in this order: existing repository files and referenced snippets, explicit user request, then broader agent context.

• Target API surface: Python, C/C++, or both.
• Prim paths, attribute name, USD value type, scalar versus array shape, and desired values.
• Data source location, dtype, semantic conversion, ordinal, and write-floor publication.
• Whether the write is one-shot, repeated with a stable target, or needs direct mapped-buffer access.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
