+## `crucible assets check-mdl <path>…`
+
+Port of `check-ascii-mdl.sh`. Read-only. Each `<path>` is a file or a directory
+(recursed for `*.mdl`). For every model, using `internal/assets/mdl`:
+
+- report an **uncompiled ASCII** `.mdl` (a binary/compiled one is fine, skipped);
+- report every model-name mismatch (header tokens and geometry base node) with
+  file, line, the offending token, and the expected stem.
+
+Exit non-zero if any ASCII model or mismatch is found; zero and an `OK` line
+otherwise. No mutation.
+
+## `crucible assets fix-mdl [--dry-run] <path>…`
+
+Port of `fix-mdl-model-names.sh`. For each `*.mdl` under the paths:
+
+1. **Lowercase the filename** if it is not already lowercase (`mv`; abort that
+   file on a case-collision with an existing target).
+2. For ASCII models with a name mismatch, rewrite the model identity in place
+   via `mdl.FixNames` (binary models are skipped — the engine owns those).
+
+`--dry-run` reports every "would lowercase" / "would fix" without touching disk.
+Prints a per-file log and a final `no broken mdl model names found` when clean.
+
+Selection optimization from the reference is preserved: a file is a fix
+candidate only if it needs a content fix (name mismatch) or a filename
+lowercase, so the expensive per-file read/rewrite runs only on the few that
+matter, not the whole tree.
+
+## `crucible assets check-dupes [--manifests] <dir>…`
+
+Port of `check-duplicate-names.sh`. Read-only. NWN packs hak entries by
+basename, not path, so files at different paths with the same basename
+(case-insensitively) silently clobber on pack. This flags them.
+
+- Directory mode (default): across all `<dir>` args, report any two files whose
+  lowercased basename matches.
+- `--manifests`: additionally read every `assets/*.yml` in the current repo and
+  report basename collisions **within the same hak** (`.assets[].path` grouped
+  by `.assets[].hak`), reusing Crucible's existing `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` parsing.
+  Requires no external `yq`.
+
+Exit non-zero if any collision is found.
+
+## `crucible assets clean-dupes [--dry-run] <primary> <clean>`
+
+Port of `clean-duplicate-names.sh`. Deletes files from the `<clean>` tree whose
+basename collides (case-insensitively) with any file in the `<primary>` tree.
+Mutates only `<clean>`. Same rule as `check-dupes` directory mode, but resolves
+the collision by removal instead of reporting.
+
+- Refuses to run if `<primary>` and `<clean>` overlap (either contains the
+  other), matching the script's guard.
+- `--dry-run` reports every "would delete" without removing.
+
+Exit zero on success with a count of removed (or would-remove) files.
+
+## Consumer migration (`sow-assets-manifest`)
+
+`sow-assets-manifest` already ships the `crucible` bootstrap wrapper
+(`crucible.sh`) and uses `crucible depot` from its Makefile, so it resolves a
+released `crucible` with zero extra setup.
+
+- **Delete** the four folded driver scripts: `scripts/check-ascii-mdl.sh`,
+  `scripts/fix-mdl-model-names.sh`, `scripts/check-duplicate-names.sh`,
+  `scripts/clean-duplicate-names.sh`.
+- **Repoint** the Makefile targets to the wrapper:
+  - `check-mdl` → `./crucible.sh assets check-mdl …`
+  - `fix-mdl` → `./crucible.sh assets fix-mdl [--dry-run] …`
+  - `check-dupes` → `./crucible.sh assets check-dupes …` and
+    `./crucible.sh assets check-dupes --manifests`
+  - `clean-dupes` → `./crucible.sh assets clean-dupes [--dry-run] <PRIMARY> <CLEAN>`
+  - the `haks` target's `check-duplicate-names.sh --manifests` guard →
+    `./crucible.sh assets check-dupes --manifests`
+- **Keep for now:** `scripts/mdl-scan.awk` and `scripts/mdl-name-lib.sh`. They
+  are still sourced by `import.sh` for its batched pre-import gate (~28× faster
+  than per-file, on a hot path). They retire in the follow-up below. Because
+  both the awk classifier and the Go `mdl` module must agree, the port keeps
+  detection byte-for-byte identical (a shared fixture set checks this).
+
+Nothing in `sow-assets-manifest` is committed by this project's plan except the
+script deletions and Makefile edits; that repo's change lands as its own commit
+once the new `crucible` release with `assets` is available.
+
+## Out of scope — follow-up spec
+
+Moving the **depot-interacting pipeline** (`import.sh`, `sync-assets.sh`,
+`export.sh`, and the inline mdl gate) into `crucible depot` is a separate
+project with its own spec. When `import.sh` becomes `crucible depot import`, its
+gate uses the in-process `internal/assets/mdl` module and
+`scripts/mdl-scan.awk` + `scripts/mdl-name-lib.sh` are deleted. This spec
+deliberately stops at the standalone integrity tools to keep one focused plan.
