Batatais — a scripted Blender reconstruction recipe
A public workflow for reconstructing the Igreja Matriz de Batatais, its gardens and nearby streets from maps and photographic evidence. See the Fable and Astra examples.
This plugin contains instructions, not the private Blender repository, model assets or finished generators. Your agent writes a new reconstruction. Blender and an agent with file/command access are needed to build; Blender MCP is optional. Installation does not install Blender or any addon, or start a render.
Claude Code
Install directly from the marketplace URL in your terminal:
claude plugin install batatais --marketplace https://github.com/DanielLandi/plugins
Or, inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add DanielLandi/plugins
/plugin install batatais@daniellandi
Then ask: “Use the recreate-batatais-scene skill to build a new Batatais scene.”
Codex CLI
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/DanielLandi/plugins
codex plugin add batatais@daniellandi
Use a current CLI with plugin support. Codex recognizes this repository's Claude
marketplace catalog; the plugin also supplies a portable plugin.json manifest.
Restart the agent session if newly installed skills are not yet listed.
Give another agent the URL
Paste this into an agent with access to public GitHub and local skill installation:
Install the Batatais plugin from https://github.com/DanielLandi/plugins/tree/main/batatais for this CLI. Read its README and SKILL.md, use this CLI's supported plugin or skill installation mechanism, and do not start building the scene yet.
This is an agent prompt, not a universal native install command. Agents without a plugin system can use the self-contained SKILL.md through their supported skill loader.

Single source of truth
Maintain the recipe only in this package's skills/recreate-batatais-scene/SKILL.md.
The Blender project references this file; HAIK's old skill-download URLs redirect
here instead of embedding another copy. Changes belong in this repository.
Installed agent packages are distribution copies managed by their host CLI.
install.sh preserves the older Bash-based skill installation flow for existing
users on macOS/Linux (or a compatible Bash environment). HAIK's former installer
URLs redirect to this file, which fetches the current skill from this repository.
Prefer the native plugin commands above for Claude Code and Codex.
