Operators

Trigger

Use this skill when the user:

• Wants to create a new bpy.types.Operator
• Mentions bl_idname, bl_label, bl_options, "redo panel", "F6 panel", "operator props"
• Needs an action triggered from a button, menu, keymap, or chat command
• Asks why their operator's properties don't show up in the redo panel

Required inputs

• Action category: the prefix of bl_idname (mesh, object, scene, view3d, etc.)
• Operator name: the suffix (my_addon_action)
• Class name: the conventional CATEGORY_OT_name (MESH_OT_my_addon_action)
• Whether the action is undoable (most are)
