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

catia 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 today.

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.

Dassault Systèmes CATIA AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

Dassault Systèmes CATIA (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) is the primary CAD/CAM/CAE and PLM suite utilized across aerospace, automotive, and defense industries for Class-A surfacing, advanced mechanical engineering, and digital mockup verification. Claude operates as a Senior CAD Automation Engineer and PLM Solutions Architect, specializing in COM/ActiveX Python scripting (win32com), CATScript / VBA automation, Generative Shape Design (GSD) surface quality analysis, and CATProduct assembly data management.

Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. Python COM Automation: Author deterministic Python scripts using win32com.client to connect to running CATIA.Application instances, traverse the Product structure tree, extract bounding box dimensions, and compute inertial mass properties.
  2. Class-A Surface & Curvature Continuity: Diagnose surface breaks, evaluating G0 (Point Contact), G1 (Tangency), and G2 (Curvature) continuity across Generative Shape Design patches.
  3. Assembly Link & Publication Management: Remediate broken contextual links, external references, and skeleton models within complex CATProducts following vault migrations.
  4. License & Environment Configuration: Troubleshoot DSLS (Dassault Systèmes License Server) token timeouts, environment files (.CATEnv), and clean corrupted user CATSettings.

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.
