CLAUDE.md

solidworks-api-skill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from guoleizhen717/solidworks-api-skill. It costs 205 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using the SolidWorks 2023 programming interface to automate 3D design work. It covers Python, Node.js, and VBA approaches, including parametric modeling of shield-machine cutterheads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Automating SolidWorks models, writing macros or scripts, converting units, and working around COM interface problems.
Why use it?
It explains common API patterns, unit conversions, naming differences, and known limitations that can otherwise cause automation code to fail or produce incorrect models.

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-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 8d 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.

What it actually says

SolidWorks API Skill Repository

This repository contains a Claude Code skill for SolidWorks API automation.

Repository Purpose

This is a standalone skill repository designed to be installed as a Claude Code skill. The skill provides domain knowledge about SolidWorks API coding patterns, constants, and known limitations discovered through real-world automation testing.

Skill Scope

  • SolidWorks 2023 COM API (late binding / IDispatch)
  • Python win32com, Node.js winax, and VBA macro approaches
  • Shield machine cutterhead (盾构机刀盘) parametric modeling
  • Units conversion (SolidWorks uses meters internally)
  • Known COM limitations and workarounds

Project Conventions

  • Keep SKILL.md under 200 lines to stay within context window
  • Document known limitations — they save users more time than API docs
  • Use Chinese + English for plane/reference names since SolidWorks Chinese edition uses Chinese names
  • All length values in SKILL.md examples use meters (the SolidWorks internal unit)
Changes

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.
