Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.13348 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.05339 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.02670 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.01335 |
Grade A, and why
digital-fabrication 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.

Digital Fabrication in AEC
File-to-Factory Paradigm
Digital fabrication represents the direct translation of computational design models into physically realized building components through numerically controlled manufacturing processes. The file-to-factory paradigm eliminates the interpretive gap between designer intent and fabricator execution. Every geometric decision encoded in the digital model propagates deterministically into machine instructions, material removal paths, or deposition trajectories.
The core promise: what you model is what you build, with quantifiable tolerances at every stage.
Mass Customization vs. Mass Production
Traditional construction relies on mass production: standardized components (bricks, studs, sheets) assembled according to standardized details. This constrains architectural expression to rectangular grids and repetitive modules.
Mass customization inverts this constraint. When every component is cut by a CNC machine reading unique coordinates, the cost difference between 500 identical panels and 500 unique panels approaches zero. The machine does not care whether the next cut is the same as the last. The marginal cost of geometric variation is essentially the marginal cost of generating the fabrication data, not executing it.
Key economic thresholds:
- Laser cutting: Customization is virtually free. Nesting efficiency matters more than geometric repetition.
- CNC milling: Customization adds modest cost through increased setup and tool-change frequency.
- Robotic fabrication: Customization cost depends on end-effector changes and calibration overhead.
- Additive manufacturing: Customization is inherently free. Build time is the primary cost driver.
- Formwork: Customization is expensive for conventional formwork, cheap for CNC-milled or 3D-printed formwork.
The Design-to-Fabrication Pipeline
The digital chain from design to built reality proceeds through distinct data transformations:
- Design Model — Parametric geometry in Rhino/Grasshopper, Revit, or other BIM/CAD environment. Geometry is resolution-independent (NURBS, BReps).
- Fabrication Model — Geometry decomposed into manufacturable components with material assignments, joint definitions, tolerances, and assembly sequences. This is the critical translation step.
- Fabrication Data — Machine-specific geometry: toolpaths (CNC), robot targets (robotic), slice contours (AM), cut lines (laser). Formats: G-code, RAPID, KRL, URScript, DXF, CLI, 3MF.
- Machine Code — Post-processed instructions for a specific machine controller. Includes feed rates, spindle speeds, tool changes, safety interlocks.
- Physical Component — Material transformed by machine. Subject to fabrication tolerances.
- Assembly — Components joined on-site or in factory. Subject to assembly tolerances.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

digital-fabrication is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abhinavbwj/Claude-skills-for-Computational-Designers (224 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 13,348 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
