How does the skill handle version control?

It validates that the target version is perfectly aligned between the main __init__.py file and the CHANGELOG.md to prevent versioning inconsistencies in releases.

What files does this skill exclude from the final package?

The skill automatically excludes __pycache__, .pyc files, documentation, and test suites to ensure the final ZIP is lightweight and only contains production-ready code.

Does it verify the code before creating the ZIP?

Yes, it executes unit tests and performs a registration audit to ensure that Blender operators and UI elements are correctly configured before packaging.

Is this skill specific to the Lime Pipeline repository?

While designed for the Lime Pipeline, its logic and steps follow best practices that can be adapted for most Python-based Blender add-on development workflows.

Why is the SHA256 hash included in the output?

The SHA256 hash provides a security checksum for the ZIP artifact, allowing developers to verify the integrity of the file during release and distribution.

Automates the creation of distributable ZIP artifacts for Blender add-ons with integrated testing and SHA256 hashing.

The package-addon skill streamlines the release lifecycle for Blender development pipelines by automating the generation of installable artifacts. It ensures a clean build environment by removing stale artifacts, executing unit tests, and performing UI registration audits before packaging the source. By automatically excluding unnecessary files like cache and documentation while simultaneously generating SHA256 checksums, this skill provides a robust, production-grade workflow for handing off builds to artists or preparing final release candidates.
