Loading USD (population)

When to Use

Use this skill when the program ingests existing USD into an ovstage instead of writing attribute columns directly. That includes: loading a .usd/.usda/.usdc file or an inline USDA string into the stage, choosing which data domains to populate (rendering vs. physics), adding/removing USD references, propagating live USD edits per tick, or confirming what landed by querying populated prims.

For the direct write → seal → read data-plane lifecycle (no USD), use application-flow and path-dictionary instead.

Inputs

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