Install Compositing
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add arjun988/blender-skills --skill compositingThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads compositing when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the compositing skill”. In Codex, type $compositing.
Compositing
Pass-aware beauty stack. Subtle grade. Delivery-ready outputs.
When to Use
- Final beauty composites from Cycles/Eevee
- Grade, glare, vignette, chromatic subtlety
- Pass recombination (diffuse, glossy, volume, cryptomatte)
- Shot delivery plates
Workflow
Enable passes → Render multilayer EXR (or needed passes)
→ Compositor graph → Grade → FX (glare/fog glow)
→ Output viewer + File Output → Validate exposure
Recommended Passes
| Pass | Use |
|---|---|
| Beauty / Combined | Base |
| DiffCol / DiffDir / DiffInd | Relight flexibility |
| GlossDir / GlossCol | Spec control |
| Volume | Smoke/fire isolation |
| Cryptomatte Object/Material | Isolations |
| Mist | Depth grade / fog |
Beauty Stack (Default)
Combined
→ Exposure / Color Balance (AgX-aware)
→ Glare (fog glow / streaks sparingly)
→ Lens distortion (subtle)
→ Vignette (subtle)
→ Output
Grade Rules
- Fix exposure before creative grade
- Prefer lift/gamma/gain or color balance over crushed curves
- Keep skin/product hues plausible
- Match reference stills with side-by-side
Outputs
OUT_Beauty_[Shot]- Optional:
OUT_Alpha,OUT_CryptoID - Prefer EXR for archival; PNG/JPEG for review
Constraints
MUST DO
- Grade on view transform–aware pipeline (AgX)
- Keep creative FX reversible in node graph
- Document exposure/look settings
MUST NOT DO
- Crush blacks to hide lighting problems
- Over-glare every bright pixel
- Flatten multilayer to JPEG as only archive

Tips for Compositing
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
