kernelcad-export

kernelcad-export is a skill for Claude Code from w1ne/kernelCAD-web. It costs 63 tokens per session (395 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A kernelCAD export and verification workflow for turning a model into files used by printers, machining tools, or other CAD software. It supports formats including STEP, STL, 3MF, GLB, DXF, and G-code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Export whole models or individual parts, inspect part statistics or a bill of materials, and provide the resulting file reference with its format and units.
Why use it?
It checks model information before export and verifies STEP files, reducing the chance of handing over an unusable file or unclear units.

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

kernelcad-export 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Export

  • Whole model: export({ target: "model", code, format, output_path }) with format one of step, stl, 3mf, glb, obj, usd, dxf, gcode. obj is a Wavefront triangle mesh. usd is an ASCII USDA triangle mesh with millimeter units and Z-up coordinates; it is not B-rep USD. NVIDIA's usd-brep BrepArray is not emitted because this writer consumes tessellated vertices and triangle indices, while BrepArray requires full B-rep topology and curve/surface data. Use usd-isaac separately for an assembly physics stage. Options: 3mf takes printUnit and embedSource; dxf takes unit, tolerance, layers; glb takes axis.
  • Per part of an assembly: export({ target: "part", code, output_dir }).
  • Before exporting for print: inspect({ of: "part-stats", code }). For a bill of materials: inspect({ of: "bom", code }).
  • Verify a STEP after export with inspect({ of: "step", file }).
  • The hosted server returns a download link or file reference; give the user that link and say which format and units it is in. Keep verification on (do not pass no_verify: true) unless the user asks.

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.

kernelcad-export is a skill published in the GitHub repository w1ne/kernelCAD-web (30 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 395 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 2026-10-14.
