Use when grooming hair or fur in Maya with XGen (Interactive Groom splines or legacy descriptions): scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, fur, guides, clumps, noise, parting, density maps, a fill layer, aiStandardHair shading, noisy or flickering hair renders, hair that must move (Linear Wire, nHair, Alembic caches), or a groom for Unreal (groom Alembic, cards). Also when XGen hair looks CG, clumps look uniform, the scalp shows through, or an XGen script fails.

# Hair and fur grooming (XGen Interactive Groom, Maya 2027)

Expert grooming sets the flow on a few guides first, then a clump hierarchy with loose roots and
varied profiles, then breakup only where the reference shows it (tips, strays), judged in close,
side-lit renders with the real hair shader. Interactive Groom brushes have no stroke API, so the
agent grooms with data (guides from a flow sheet wired into the stack, masks written as images,
modifiers set by value) and judges with numbers from exported strands plus renders. Code:
[`scripts/mx_groom.py`](scripts/mx_groom.py) (`import mx_groom as G`). If a sibling skill named here
is missing from your available skills, load it with `skill_get` (Scenario MCP) or ask the user to
install it (https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills#install); unattended, proceed from tool schemas
and flag the gap.
