Puppetiere provides a suite of tools designed to streamline rigging and animation workflows in Blender. The addon includes utilities for bone manipulation, such as forcing Z-axis alignment, renaming bone chains sequentially, and correcting numerical suffix ordering. It offers advanced bone collection management with features for intersection filtering, bulk locking, and color assignments.

A notable capability is the UI setup system, which allows riggers to flag properties and organize collections to preview and export custom user interface panels as Python scripts for animators. Additionally, the addon provides precise snapping tools that store mesh point coordinates to align bone heads, tails, or complete bones in space.
