SolidworksMCP-python: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/printer-profile-tolerancing/SKILL.md

printer-profile-tolerancing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python. It costs 38 tokens per session (295 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-guidance skill that uses a 3D-printer profile to suggest practical clearances, tolerances, orientation, and build constraints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before SolidWorks MCP design work for press fits, sliding fits, snap fits, hinges, and clips, including checks for splitting, supports, and print risks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid parts that do not fit, exceed the printer’s build space, warp, or become weak during printing. Recommendations account for the printer, nozzle, material, layer height, and joint type.

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

printer-profile-tolerancing 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.

What it actually says

Printer Profile Tolerancing

Use this skill to convert manufacturing context into practical design guidance that an LLM can apply before running SolidWorks MCP tools.

Inputs

  • Printer model OR explicit build volume in mm (X/Y/Z)
  • Nozzle diameter (mm)
  • Material (PLA/PETG/ABS/ASA/Nylon/Resin)
  • Layer height (mm)
  • Fit/joint type (press fit, sliding fit, snap fit, hinge, clip)

Outputs

  1. Assumptions and constraints (explicit)
  2. Recommended tolerance and clearance ranges by feature type
  3. Orientation recommendation (bed face and why)
  4. Build-volume fit check and split strategy if needed
  5. Risk checklist (warping, weak axis, support scarring, overhangs)

Workflow

  1. Normalize units to mm.
  2. Validate missing inputs and ask targeted clarification.
  3. Choose baseline ranges by process/material.
  4. Adjust ranges using nozzle + layer-height heuristics.
  5. Add geometry-specific notes for joints and clips.
  6. Include mitigation options with tradeoffs.

Guardrails

  • Never output one universal tolerance value.
  • Always include assumptions in plain language.
  • Mark high-risk recommendations explicitly.
Changes

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.

printer-profile-tolerancing is a skill published in the GitHub repository andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python (82 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 295 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
