facade-computation

facade-computation is a skill for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/Claude-skills-for-Computational-Designers. It costs 39 tokens per session (14,178 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for designing building facades with computational methods, including panel patterns, double skins, moving parts, and environmental responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide surfaces into panels, create patterned or responsive facades, rationalize complex surfaces, and account for fabrication and environmental performance.
Why use it?
It helps coordinate appearance, fabrication, daylight, heat, airflow, moisture, and sound when shaping a facade.

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

facade-computation 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 12d 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.

Facade Computation

1. Computational Facade Design Philosophy

The building facade is not a wrapper. It is the single most consequential architectural element — the mediator between interior environment and exterior climate, the primary determinant of energy consumption, the structural skin that must resist wind, seismic, and thermal loads, and the public expression of a building's identity. Computational facade design treats every square meter of this surface as a field of optimizable variables rather than a repeating module selected from a catalog.

Facade as Environmental Mediator

Every facade simultaneously manages five environmental flows:

Flow Inward Outward
Solar radiation Daylight, solar heat gain Glare, overheating
Thermal energy Heat loss in winter Heat gain in summer
Air Natural ventilation, infiltration Exfiltration, stack effect
Moisture Rain penetration, condensation Vapor diffusion
Sound Exterior noise intrusion Interior noise escape

A computationally-driven facade optimizes across all five flows simultaneously, varying panel geometry, material, porosity, and depth point-by-point across the surface based on orientation, local microclimate, interior program, and structural constraints.

Integration of Performance, Structure, and Aesthetics

Traditional practice separates these into different consultancies — the architect draws the pattern, the structural engineer sizes the mullions, the facade consultant specifies the glass, and the energy modeler checks compliance. Computational facade design collapses these into a single parametric model where every design decision is simultaneously evaluated against structural, thermal, daylight, acoustic, and aesthetic criteria. The parametric model is the single source of truth, and downstream deliverables — shop drawings, energy models, structural calculations, panel schedules — are all derived outputs.

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.
