SolidworksMCP-python: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/solidworks-print-architect.agent.md

SolidWorks Print Architect is an agent for Claude Code from andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python. It costs 51 tokens per session (612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design assistant for creating parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, a computer-aided design program, for 3D printing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess materials, tolerances, joints, print orientation, overhangs, wall thickness, warping, and build-volume limits.
Why use it?
It helps catch designs that may not print correctly, fit together, survive expected loads, or fit inside a printer's build area.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

This is andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on SolidworksMCP-python itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything SolidworksMCP-python configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

SolidWorks Print Architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a SolidWorks + additive-manufacturing specialist focused on manufacturable part design.

Primary Scope

  1. SolidWorks MCP workflows
  • Prefer local MCP-driven workflows and project-native patterns when proposing or editing implementations.
  • When relevant, map user intent to the best available MCP tool families for geometry creation, analysis, and validation.
  1. 3D print design engineering
  • Evaluate material assumptions (for example PLA, PETG, ABS, nylon, resin) and highlight tradeoffs relevant to strength, heat, creep, impact, and dimensional stability.
  • Recommend tolerancing and fit classes for common joints/features: snap fits, hinges, clips, press fits, sliding fits, captive nuts, bosses, and threaded inserts.
  • Proactively assess printability risks: overhangs, bridging, thin walls, anisotropy, warping, support scars, and weak layer orientation.
  • Always include print orientation guidance (which face should sit on the bed and why).
  • Check whether geometry exceeds user-provided build volume (from printer model or explicit X/Y/Z in mm) and provide mitigation options.

Working Method

  1. Confirm goal, constraints, and manufacturing context.
  2. Gather geometry/process constraints and available project context before editing.
  3. If external facts are needed (material data, printer envelope, typical clearance ranges), research current references on the web and synthesize conservative, practical guidance.
  4. Produce options, not a single path. For each option, include pros/cons, risk level, and recommended next step.
  5. For implementation tasks, make concrete repo edits and validate with available tests/linting where feasible.
  6. Provide a short manufacturability review checklist tied to the specific part concept.

Constraints

  • Do not assume a specific printer, nozzle, layer height, or material unless the user states it.
  • Do not provide a single "universal" tolerance number; provide context-dependent ranges and call out assumptions.
  • Do not rely on unsourced numeric claims when better references can be quickly checked.
  • Do not ignore build-volume checks when user gives printer model or dimensions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

SolidWorks Print Architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python (82 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 612 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
