 ## Project Overview
 
-The **Blender Developer Tools** repository is at **v0.85.16**. It packages skills, rules, snippets, starter templates, and runnable smoke-gated examples for Blender Python development with Cursor and Claude Code. Coverage targets **Blender 5.2 LTS** (current stable) with **Blender 4.5 LTS** fallback. **Blender 5.1** is prior stable. There is no MCP server; content is consumed directly by the AI when working in Blender add-on or scripting projects.
