# Operation Index

Catalog of all Scene Optimizer operations known to this workflow. Each row
corresponds to a local `<key>.md` handoff stub whose YAML frontmatter carries
the same routing fields shown below. Use this to find operations by category,
loss class, or argument count; use upstream `usd-optimize` or the prebuilt
Scene Optimizer package for operation behavior, parameters, defaults, and
implementation gotchas.

The package resolution rule is centralized once in
[`usd-optimize` upstream handoff](../upstreams/usd-optimize.md): derive the
upstream operation guide from the operation key as
`.agents/operations/<operation-key>.md`, then resolve it under the selected
Scene Optimizer package root. Do not duplicate package URLs, root fallbacks, or
upstream parameter/default tables in the per-operation stubs. Before executing
any operation, consume `<output_path>/setup-preflight.json` and confirm the op
appears in `sceneOptimizer.operationsAvailable`.

**Companion docs:**
- [Execution reference](EXECUTION.md) — docs-class wrapper/API invocation shape, batch orchestration, and validator import variants.
- [Classification rubric](CLASSIFICATION.md) — curation tiers and the canonical-over-specialty selection rule.
- [`pipelines.md`](../so-run-operations/references/pipelines.md) — curated multi-op chains organized by bottleneck.
- [`_template.md`](_template.md) — template for new operation guides (includes the frontmatter schema).
- [`manifest.json`](manifest.json) — machine-readable catalog (same data as below).
- [`usd-optimize` upstream handoff](../upstreams/usd-optimize.md) — central upstream operation-guide and prebuilt package resolution.

**Loss class.** `lossless` reorganizes / dedups / regenerates derived data only.
`bounded-loss` removes or modifies authored content (the agent should confirm
with the user before running). `analysis-only` is read-only (`context.analysisMode = 1`).
