cad-designer

cad-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from delancy827/cad-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (7,240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Design guidance for CAD drawings, including drafting standards, parameter-based design, layers, dimensions, batch output, and review checklists. It focuses on deciding what a drawing should contain before automation creates it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning part, assembly, layout, process, and inspection drawings; defining required details; choosing review levels; and checking dimensions, materials, tolerances, and safety-related assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps produce drawings that fit their intended use and avoids presenting an unverified sketch as a production-ready engineering drawing.

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

cad-designer 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.

CAD设计狮 — CAD 专业设计指导

本skill提供CAD设计的专业指导,涵盖制图规范(国标)、参数化设计、图层管理系统、标注标准、批量出图策略、性能优化、AI+CAD趋势与设计检查清单。

0. 2026-06-11 设计决策总则

本 skill 的职责是先给出“画什么才对”,再交给 cad-automation 生成图形。遇到机械、模具、夹具、钣金、装配图时,必须先完成以下判断:

  1. 明确图纸类型:零件图、装配图、总布置图、工艺草图、校核图。
  2. 明确用途:报价、评审、加工、装配、维修、教学演示。用途不同,细节深度不同。
  3. 明确验证等级:草图可 L2,交付加工图至少 L3,重要装配图建议 L4 视觉复核。
  4. 明确来源署名:如果参考开源项目、资料库或网络资料,在交付包中写入 ATTRIBUTION.md

0.1 冲压模具设计指导卡

当用户要求绘制冲压模具时,优先按“模架总图 + 工作零件 + 导向定位 + 技术要求”组织图纸。

必画内容

模块 内容 检查点
模架 上模座、下模座、凹模板、卸料板 外形尺寸、中心基准、板厚说明
工作部分 凸模、凹模刃口、冲裁轮廓、冲孔 间隙方向、闭合轮廓、孔中心距
导向 导柱、导套、中心线 四角对称、避开工作区
定位紧固 螺钉、销钉、沉孔 不干涉刃口和导向件
标注 外形、孔径、导柱距、工作轮廓 不封闭尺寸链、不重复标注
技术要求 材料、热处理、间隙、研磨、倒角 未知参数标“待复核”,不能编造精度

默认设计假设

如果用户只说“画一个冲压模具”,默认画“小型冲孔/落料模平面示意图”,而不是直接画可加工全套图。必须在输出中说明:该图用于方案表达和自动化能力测试,真实生产前需要按材料、吨位、闭合高度、压力中心、强度和安全规范复核。

禁止事项

  • 不在缺少材料厚度时给出确定刃口间隙,只能写“按材料厚度 x 5%-8% 复核”。
  • 不在缺少压力机参数时承诺可生产。
  • 不把示意图说成完整加工图。
  • 不省略导柱导套、卸料板、凹模板这类识别冲压模具的关键结构。

示例:    A-WALL-PRIM-D  (建筑-墙体-承重-拆除)
         M-DUCT-SUPN-N  (暖通-风管-送风-新建)
         S-STRU-COLN-E  (结构-柱-混凝土-现有)

2.2 常用图层色号国标

图层 色号 线型 说明
粗实线(WALL) 7(白/黑) Continuous 可见轮廓
