5## Agents: what you can and can't do
6- **Sculpt Mode operators crash Blender in background mode** (`-b`), including `mesh_filter`. Never enter Sculpt Mode headless.
7- Headless or MCP: use `scripts/sculpt_ops.py` for object-level ops: `remesh=SIZE`, `symmetrize=+X`, `multires=N`, `inflate=D`, `detail=STR,SCALE`, `smooth=N`, `apply`. Combine these with Geometry Nodes (`blender-geometry-nodes`: SDF grid booleans/fillets, noise displacement) and shape modeling for procedural organic forms.
8- Live sessions with a UI: brush strokes via `bpy.ops.sculpt.brush_stroke(stroke=[...])` need a 3D View region override and are fragile. Prefer procedural ops, then show the user with `look`. Hand detailed brushwork to the human.

111. **Base mesh / blockout**: primitives, metaballs, Skin modifier, or a low-poly base at real scale. Proportions first: compare with references and check against a human 1.75 m.
122. **Unify**: voxel remesh (`remesh=0.02` for a 2 m character, smaller for detail) fuses parts and gives even density. Repeat it while the big forms change.
133. **Primary forms** at low resolution (Grab, Snake Hook, Clay Strips, Inflate, Smooth). **Secondary** (muscle groups, folds) at medium resolution. **Tertiary** (pores, scratches, fabric weave) with Multires levels 4–6, or as normal/displacement maps.
