Evaluation manifest and taxonomy
The current manifest follows urn:animsmith:skill:animation-pack-evaluation-manifest:1. File inventory is current; gameplay classification is not promoted without engine acceptance.

Pack inventory and content evidence
Current inventory found 136 FBX candidates, including 132 animation-bearing candidates, 132 individual-motion candidates, and 0 combined-take candidates. This establishes source presence and mechanical coverage only.
Mechanical baseline
| Finding/check | Affected scope | Potential impact | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline commands | 136/136 | Inputs are mechanically readable by the current evaluator | observed-animsmith; 544 baseline commands completed successfully; strict contracts require loop and blend review. |
| Declared contracts | 132 selected inputs | Non-clean strict contract results require clip-level admission | observed-animsmith; 132 declared-contract inputs: 34 clean and 230 non-clean command results. |
AnimSmith remediation evidence
| Source issue | Operation/declarations | Result | Independent verification | Remaining caveat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical cleanup and gait candidates | 24 gait-anchor, 3 prune-constant-tracks, 1 duplicate-loop-endpoint removal | 28/28 transform commands exit 0 | Post-output inspect/measure/diff/config-lint recorded in external:protofactor-melee-remediation-0.10.0/public-evidence-projection.json (SHA-256 4004862e2f2f7f3719e796c2cedb9d3c264eb943588d5cb2ae78baf917737ac7) | External candidates remain unpromoted; no engine, visual, or artistic acceptance |
Engine procedures and evidence
| Runtime | Version | Procedure | Observed result | Remaining gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unity | Not evaluated | No current import | Not evaluated | Import and visual review |
| Unreal Engine | Not evaluated | No current import | Not evaluated | Import and retarget review |
| Godot | Not evaluated | No current import | Not evaluated | Conversion and runtime review |
| Bevy | Not evaluated | No current import | Not evaluated | Conversion and runtime review |
Rig, masking, and compatibility evidence
| Pack/rig/set pair | Skeleton/retarget | Scale/axes | Root policy | Timing/blend | Overall evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivered pack | Mechanical inspection only | Not evaluated | Not evaluated | Strict contracts pending review | No engine compatibility claim |
Limitations and unknowns
- Tool evidence does not replace target-engine import, playback, contact, retargeting, masking, or visual review.
- Strict declared-contract failures are clip-level admission signals, not a blanket statement about authored quality.
- Candidate transforms remain external and require project acceptance before use.
Changes between AnimSmith versions
AnimSmith 0.10.0 — revalidated inventory, baseline, contracts, and bounded remediations with the official FBX-capable evaluator. AnimSmith 0.7.0 — historical evidence is retained only for history and is superseded for current-state conclusions.
