spaceclaim

spaceclaim is a skill for Codex from svd-ai-lab/sim-cli. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for using Ansys SpaceClaim or Discovery, desktop tools for creating and preparing 3D CAD geometry, through scripts, local programs, or the graphical interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing CAD for simulation, including checking files, repairing or simplifying models, creating named geometry, extracting fluid regions, and handing models to a solver.
Why use it?
It helps an agent inspect, repair, simplify, and export geometry without treating SpaceClaim as the physics solver. It also encourages checking the local installation and preserving the original files.

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

spaceclaim 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/probe_spaceclaim.ps1), 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.

SpaceClaim Skill

Use this skill for Ansys SpaceClaim CAD preparation and geometry automation. SpaceClaim is usually a desktop geometry/preprocessing tool, not the solver itself. Prefer the narrowest path that gives real evidence: file inspection for simple inventory, SpaceClaim scripts for repeatable geometry commands, GUI operation for semantic face/body choices, and solver-specific tools after the geometry is exported.

Working Approach

  1. Probe availability before launching SpaceClaim when local state is unknown.
    • Run scripts/probe_spaceclaim.ps1 when working on Windows.
    • Acceptable alternatives: Get-Command SpaceClaim.exe, common Ansys install-path checks, Registry checks, or a user-provided SIM_SPACECLAIM_ROOT.
    • Missing sim-cli, Python, or PyFluent is not evidence that SpaceClaim is missing; SpaceClaim often runs its own scripting host inside the desktop app.
  2. Inspect inputs before changing them.
    • List CAD files and sidecars.
    • For STEP, read the header/schema/unit lines and a small topology sample before opening the full model.
    • Prefer writing derived files beside the original CAD instead of in-place edits.
  3. Choose the control path by task.
    • Batch/script: imports, exports, simple body operations, repeatable named groups, repair sequences, or documented commands.
    • GUI-assisted: face selections, cap selections, seed points, periodic cuts, flow-path choices, or anything requiring design intent.
    • Solver handoff: meshing, boundary physics, convergence, and result validation belong in Fluent/Mechanical/COMSOL/etc. after CAD prep.
  4. After each meaningful change, verify the artifact rather than only the process exit. Check output file existence, format, units, body/face counts when available, and screenshots or exported geometry for visually sensitive work.
  5. Report uncertainty plainly. When the API cannot expose the geometry semantics needed for safe automation, produce a semi-automatic workflow or script template and identify the exact user selection still needed.

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.

spaceclaim is a skill published in the GitHub repository svd-ai-lab/sim-cli (239 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,091 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-10-19.
