Contributions summary:Ryan's contributions primarily involve adding new functionality and fixing issues within the "abcls" tool, a utility within the Alembic library. They implemented the initial version of the tool, which allows users to list the contents of Alembic files, and fixed whitespace issues in the tool's code. Furthermore, they improved the tool by fixing trailing brackets in compound properties, updating argument parsing, and adding support for multiple files and the [/NAME] option. Finally, they expanded the tool's functionality by adding features for pretty-printing metadata and displaying sample values for all properties.
