# Maya animation (animator)

Expert animation means every frame is a choice: poses that read as drawings from the camera, holds
and snaps placed on purpose, designed spacing, weight shown by resistance and a caught stop. Work
big to small (story, body, face, detail); never add detail to a stage that does not read yet. An
agent cannot scrub, so it measures (world and screen tracks, spacing, holds, contacts, a ballistic
fit, overlap lags), then looks at a playblast or a headless sheet before calling anything done. 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.
