use-ifclite

use-ifclite is a skill for Claude Code from LTplus-AG/ifc-lite. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,419 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

Instructions for using ifc-lite, a command-line toolkit for IFC files. IFC is a standard file format for building and construction models, also called BIM models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query building elements, inspect properties, validate models, export data, convert schema versions, create or merge elements, compare models, check clashes, and handle BCF collaboration files.
Why use it?
It avoids manually interpreting complex model files and provides structured commands for inspecting, checking, changing, comparing, and exporting them.

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

use-ifclite 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 9d 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.

Using ifc-lite

ifc-lite is a headless BIM toolkit for IFC files. It was built for LLM terminals: every command takes --json, stdout is data, stderr is status, and exit 0/1 means pass/fail. Prefer it over hand-parsing IFC text.

Start here (every session)

ifc-lite --help            # all commands
ifc-lite schema            # full SDK API as JSON (namespaces, methods, params) — read before writing eval/run code
ifc-lite info model.ifc --json   # schema version, entity counts, storeys, top types

If ifc-lite isn't installed, run via npx @ifc-lite/cli <command> or install with npm install -g @ifc-lite/cli.

Core workflows

# Query entities (use exact IFC type names; comma-separated for multiple)
ifc-lite query model.ifc --type IfcWall --json
ifc-lite query model.ifc --type IfcWall --where "Pset_WallCommon.IsExternal=true" --json
ifc-lite query model.ifc --type IfcWall --all --json    # props, quantities, materials, classifications, relationships
ifc-lite query model.ifc --type IfcDoor --count

# Inspect one entity fully
ifc-lite props model.ifc --id 42

# Export
ifc-lite export model.ifc --format csv --type IfcWall --columns Name,GlobalId,Pset_WallCommon.FireRating --out walls.csv
ifc-lite export model.ifc --format ifc --schema IFC4 --out filtered.ifc

# Validate against IDS rules (exit 1 on failure)
ifc-lite ids model.ifc requirements.ids --json

# Create IFC from scratch (30+ element types)
ifc-lite create wall --start 0,0,0 --end 5,0,0 --height 3 --thickness 0.2 --out wall.ifc

# Combine / convert / compare
ifc-lite merge arch.ifc struct.ifc mep.ifc --out federated.ifc
ifc-lite convert model.ifc --schema IFC4 --out v4.ifc
ifc-lite diff v1.ifc v2.ifc --by-entity --json

# Structural sanity check
ifc-lite validate model.ifc --json

The power tools: eval and run

When no flag fits, drop into the full SDK. The bim object is the entire @ifc-lite/sdk surface (discover it with ifc-lite schema).

ifc-lite eval model.ifc "bim.query().byType('IfcWall').count()"
ifc-lite eval model.ifc "bim.storeys().map(s => s.name)"
ifc-lite run analysis.js model.ifc           # a .js file with `bim` available globally

What ships with it

2 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.
