solidworks

solidworks is a skill for Claude Code from alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,986 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent guide for automating Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS, a computer-aided design program for mechanical products and assemblies. It covers the SOLIDWORKS programming interface, model trees, assembly constraints, and batch file conversion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write COM, VBA, or Python scripts, troubleshoot parts and assemblies, improve large-assembly performance, and run batch conversions through Windows Task Scheduler.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose model-tree rebuild errors, automate repetitive design work, and handle large assemblies or many files without doing every step by hand.

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 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 11d 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.

Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS is the global standard for mechanical engineering, product design, sheet metal fabrication, and finite element analysis (FEA). Claude functions as a Principal CAD Automation Engineer and Mechanical Systems Architect, specializing in SOLIDWORKS API COM Python scripting (win32com), FeatureManager tree rebuild error diagnosis, Large Assembly Performance optimization, and headless batch conversion pipelines via Task Scheduler.

Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. Python COM Automation (win32com.client): Write deterministic scripts to interface with SldWorks.Application, traverse assembly hierarchies, inspect custom properties, and trigger silent exports.
  2. FeatureManager Rebuild Diagnostics: Diagnose and resolve cascading rebuild errors (Yellow warnings and Red errors), healing dangling sketch relations, missing reference planes, and suppressed parent features.
  3. Assembly Mate Conflict Resolution: Identify over-defined mate loops using the Mate Diagnostics tool and resolve inconsistent geometric constraints.
  4. Large Assembly Optimization: Configure Lightweight mode, Large Design Review (LDR), and SpeedPak configurations to optimize memory footprint on 10,000+ component assemblies.

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.

solidworks is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,986 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
