Ran the bundled contact-sheet script for real on 8 synthetic frames with one injected color/position glitch: the baseline eyeballed the filenames and approved the animation outright, while following the skill caught the glitch by actually inspecting the sheet - though the script's own auto-warning (threshold mean_rgb_diff>45) stayed silent on a real 5x diff spike (13.7 vs 2.76 baseline), so the catch came from the review checklist, not the automation.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Animation Quality Gate does

Reviews rendered animation frames against 7 dimensions (subject dominance, layer separation, silhouette stability, texture coherence, motion coherence, export truth, frame aesthetics) before accepting an animation pass, using a bundled script to build a contact sheet and frame-to-frame diff report. Triggers after animation renders or when the user says a morph/motion/outside element looks bad; not for pure modeling or export tasks.

How to install Animation Quality Gate

git clone https://github.com/RobLe3/cc-blender-skill
cd cc-blender-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugin/skills/animation-quality-gate ~/.claude/skills/animation-quality-gate

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Animation Quality Gate

  • /animation-quality-gate Rejects Blender animation renders that only look done, using a real contact-sheet + frame-diff script plus a 7-point review checklist.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Check these rendered frames for any silhouette or color glitches
  • Is this Blender animation actually done, or does it just look done?
  • Build a contact sheet and review my render for motion coherence
