To scaffold a USD stage processing operation plugin, this tool generates the C++ operation source, premake build wiring, and Python binding tests. It creates a complete Scene Optimizer operation plugin scaffold ready for compilation and testing.

A Scene Optimizer operation plugin is a C++ extension that processes USD stages for performance or correctness. You need one when authoring new operations to manipulate USD stage data with automated validation checks.

To set up Python tests for a USD operation plugin, the scaffold includes a Python smoke test that runs on an in-memory stage. This validates basic execution and plugin registration after the premake build completes.

Yes, you can add automated performance checks when authoring a USD operation by requesting an analysis-mode validator scaffold. This creates a validator wrapper for automated correctness and performance checks on operation outputs.

Yes, the Scene Optimizer scaffold includes documentation by creating an operation guide from a template with correct source references. It also updates the operation index and validates plugin registration after the build.

The automatic scaffolding generates boilerplate C++ source, premake wiring, and tests, but requires you to provide the operation key, display name, description, and display group. You must still implement the actual USD stage processing logic manually.
