# Openusd Stage

> Domain skill for authoring and inspecting OpenUSD stages. Create a stage, list prims, define Xform prims, set xform operations (translate/rotate/scale), modify stage metadata (upAxis, metersPerUnit, framesPerSecond), and add reference arcs to external assets. Create portable UsdGeom.Mesh polygon topology and UsdGeom.Points primitives for particles and point-based FX.

# OpenUSD Stage

Author and inspect OpenUSD stages. Prefer `openusd-project` first when creating
a new portable project folder. Use `create_points` for renderer-neutral point
effects with widths, colors, velocities, and stable ids. Use `create_mesh` for
portable polygon topology that imports consistently across DCC applications.
