text-to-cad is a collection of agent workflows for creating, examining, finding, preparing, and transferring CAD, engineering, manufacturing, and robot-description files. It is for agents working with mechanical design, fabrication, simulation, and robotics projects. Catalogue skills, instructions, and a plugin implement these workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Prompt Injection · line 43 This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.Fix: Remove or rewrite any text that instructs the agent to ignore prompts, override safety rules, or trust unverified content. Ensure skill content cannot be injected to alter agent behavior.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.02094 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01047 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00419 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00209 |
Grade A, and why
bambu-labs 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 7d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bambu Labs
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.
Use this skill for local-network Bambu Lab print handoffs after a plain .gcode
file already exists and has been validated. This skill does not slice models.
Safety Rules
- Default to dry-run plans. Real printer traffic requires
--execute. - Never start a print without
--execute --confirm-start-print. - Pause and cancel controls are live printer requests; default to dry-run plans.
Canceling a print requires
--execute --confirm-cancel-print. - Treat an explicit user request to print or start a specific job as live-start authorization; do not pause for a second confirmation solely for physical checks. Still validate the G-code, inspect the dry-run payload, read printer status, prefer upload-only before upload-start, state the physical checks, and stop if validation/status/intent is unsafe or ambiguous.
- Do not ask for the printer serial by default; fetch it from the printer TLS certificate with
serialor letsendcache it. - Prefer workspace-root
bambu-printers.jsonover repeating access codes in commands. The file is local config and should be ignored by Git. - Before a live start, state the physical checks: clear build plate, correct plate/filament/nozzle, safe surroundings, and operator nearby.
- Publishing MQTT is only a start request. Confirm acceptance with printer status/UI and physical observation.
CAD Viewer Handoff
After completing Bambu work that creates or modifies a local .3mf print artifact, you must ALWAYS hand the explicit file path to $cad-viewer when that skill is installed. CAD Viewer does not open .gcode, so a plain G-code artifact takes no handoff. $cad-viewer must start CAD Viewer if it is not already running and return link(s) to the relevant created or updated file(s); if $cad-viewer is unavailable or startup fails, report that instead of silently omitting the handoff.
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

bambu-labs is a skill published in the GitHub repository earthtojake/text-to-cad (15,369 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,094 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 2026-08-30.
