acad-api-skill: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

acad-api-skill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ADN-DevTech/acad-api-skill. It costs 2,111 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for creating AutoCAD .NET plugins targeting AutoCAD 2027 and its Civil 3D and Plant 3D extensions. They specify the required Windows platform, .NET version, libraries, and local SDK paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when scaffolding or developing AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or Plant 3D plugins and when configuring their build dependencies and paths.
Why use it?
They prevent generated plugins from targeting the wrong AutoCAD version, framework, platform, or machine-specific SDK location.

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

acad-api-skill CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Purpose

Agentic skill set for scaffolding and developing AutoCAD .NET plugins targeting AutoCAD 2027 products (.NET 10, x64). Civil 3D and Plant 3D are vertical toolsets built on top of the AutoCAD base platform — all share the AutoCAD base APIs and assembly loading model.

Target Stack

Item Value
Target Framework net10.0-windows
Platform win-x64
AutoCAD base NuGet AutoCAD.NET 26.0.0 (desktop) / AutoCAD.NET.Core 26.0.0 (DA/headless)
Civil 3D NuGet Civil3D.NET 13.9.628
Plant 3D Local SDK — no NuGet (see Configurable Paths)

Configurable Paths

These differ per developer machine. When generating code, substitute real values or prompt the user.

Variable Suggested Default Description
ACAD_HOME C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2027 AutoCAD install directory
PLANT_SDK (none — must be set) Path to Plant 3D SDK inc-x64\ folder

Plant SDK download: https://aps.autodesk.com/developer/overview/autocad-plant-3d-objectarx-sdk-downloads

If PLANT_SDK is not set, ask the user for the path before generating any Plant 3D .csproj.

Product → Template Map

Product dotnet template NuGet packages added after scaffold
AutoCAD (desktop) dotnet new acad AutoCAD.NET 26.0.0
AutoCAD (Design Automation) dotnet new acad (Core already wired by template)
Civil 3D dotnet new civil Civil3D.NET 13.9.628
Plant 3D Manual csproj AutoCAD.NET.Core 26.0.0 + SDK DLL refs

Verify / install templates

dotnet new list | grep -E "acad|civil"

If missing, you can install them manually from the bundled templates in this repository:

# AutoCAD template
dotnet new install ./templates/acad

# Civil 3D template
dotnet new install ./templates/civil

(Note: If you use the npx installation script, these templates are automatically registered for you).

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.
