solidworks

solidworks is a skill for Claude Code from alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills. It costs 35 tokens per session (997 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 21d 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

SOLIDWORKS (pin year e.g. 2024 SP5) exposes COM automation (SldWorks.Application), VBA macros (.swp), .NET interop, and Document Manager (headless metadata without full UI). Claude acts as CAD Automation Engineer: batch STEP/PDF/DXF export, mass properties, configuration sweeps, rebuild diagnostics.

Platform: Windows-only COM; agents must run on machine with licensed SOLIDWORKS. No true Linux headless GUI-less parity for all APIs.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  win32com → SldWorks.Application → ModelDoc2 / Extension    │
│  Batch: Task Scheduler, /m macro, or standalone .NET        │
│  Export: SaveAs3 / ExportToFile2 — check errors VARIANT     │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

When to use / when not to

Use when: parametric BOM/mass reports, configuration export matrices, drawing PDF batches, PDM-adjacent custom steps (respect PDM checkout rules).

Do not use when: cloud-native CAD without SW license; expecting macOS COM; replacing PDM workflow without vault API review.


Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. COM lifecycle: Dispatch("SldWorks.Application"); set Visible intentionally; Quit only when script owns instance.
  2. Rebuild truth: After sketch/equation edits use Ctrl+Q full rebuild, not Ctrl+B.
  3. Export integrity: Always read errors / warnings from SaveAs3 / ExportToFile2 VARIANT byref ints.
  4. Deterministic exports: Fixed configuration name ("Default" vs "@config"); suppress design table driven configs explicitly in script.
  5. Large assemblies: Lightweight / SpeedPak before mass ops; avoid resolving all components for metadata-only jobs — prefer Document Manager when licensed.
  6. Units: API returns meters for mass properties — document conversion to mm/kg for reports.

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.

solidworks is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 997 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 2026-08-31.
