step-parts

step-parts is a skill for Codex from autonomous-ai/autonomous-workshop. It costs 122 tokens per session (1,278 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of step-parts, Apache-2.0.

A helper for finding and downloading ready-made computer-aided design (CAD) parts from step.parts, such as motors, servos, connectors, fasteners, and electronics boards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing a CAD assembly that includes off-the-shelf mechanical or electronic components.
Why use it?
It prevents you from building inaccurate placeholder shapes when a real, purchasable part is already available. It searches by model names and common alternative spellings.

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

step-parts 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/download_step_part.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

CAD Parts

Provenance: maintained in earthtojake/text-to-cad. Use the installed local skill files as the runtime source of truth; the repository link is only for provenance and release review.

Overview

Use the hosted step.parts machine endpoints instead of scraping HTML or relying on local repository files. Treat https://api.step.parts as the canonical API origin and https://www.step.parts as the site/static-asset origin unless the user provides a different hosted mirror. Network/DNS failures are inconclusive: if api.step.parts cannot be reached from the sandbox, retry once with network permission before reporting a miss or using placeholder geometry. Do not describe a part as unavailable unless the API was reachable and returned no relevant candidates.

When a CAD assembly includes named off-the-shelf actuators, servos, motors, electronics boards, connectors, or other purchasable components, search step.parts before creating simplified placeholder geometry. For named servos, motors, and actuators, search both exact model strings and common aliases/vendor spellings before giving up. For example, STS3215 may also appear as ST3215, 3215, Waveshare Feetech ST3215, or under family=feetech. If the API was reachable and no exact or near-exact match is available, record the search miss and then use a documented envelope or simplified stand-in.

Quick Workflow

  1. Interpret the requested part into search terms and optional facets:
    • q for fuzzy tokens, standards, aliases, dimensions, source/product URLs, and attribute names/values.
    • category, family, standard, or tag when the user gives an exact facet.
  2. Search /v1/parts and inspect items, total, and facets. For actuator model numbers, retry likely aliases, dropped letters, vendor names, and relevant family facets before treating an empty result as a miss.
  3. If results are ambiguous, present the best few options with id, name, standard, and key attributes before choosing. If one result clearly matches, return the selected record details without downloading unless the user asked for a local STEP file.
  4. When an exact or near-exact off-the-shelf actuator model is found, prefer downloading and using its STEP file unless there is a clear assembly-time reason to use a simplified envelope. Record that choice explicitly.
  5. When the user asks to download or save a STEP file, download its stepUrl, then verify the file with the record's sha256 when present.
  6. Return the local path when downloaded, plus the selected part id and page/API URLs so the user can trace provenance.

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.
