render-inspect

render-inspect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from w1ne/kernelCAD-web. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic guide for interpreting messages produced while rebuilding a 3D object from a reference. It explains whether a message points to a missing feature, an incorrect argument, or invalid geometry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a kernelCAD evaluation reports errors during reference reconstruction, especially when a missing shape, removed face, or ambiguous face reference may have broken later operations.
Why use it?
It makes technical evaluation messages easier to act on. Following the diagnostic hint helps locate the broken step in a chain of modelling operations.

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

render-inspect 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 26d 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.

Purpose

kernelcad evaluate returns diagnostics[]. Each entry carries code, message, severity, and hint. This sub-skill is a quick lookup: given a diagnostic code seen during a from-reference build, what is the most likely cause and what is the fix.

Do NOT re-derive this from the code or message alone — read the hint field first. It is a one-sentence imperative. This sub-skill is for when the hint is not enough.

Categories of diagnostics in from-reference builds

1. Missing feature — the referenced operation does not exist yet

These diagnostics mean a feature the model depends on was not authored or was accidentally removed:

Code Typical cause in from-reference Fix
recompute.input.missing A feature's upstream shape (e.g., the blockout primitive) was renamed or removed. Call why_did_this_fail MCP tool to walk the chain. Restore or rename the upstream shape.
feature.face-ref.removed A boolean removed a face that a downstream fillet/shell still references. Reorder: apply the fillet before the boolean. Or switch to a query-based selector.
feature.face-ref.ambiguous-after-split A boolean split a face that was targeted by name. Apply the feature before the splitting boolean, or use await selectEdges(shape, query) to target the specific post-split face.

2. Wrong argument — the operation exists but the input is out of range

Code Typical cause in from-reference Fix
feature.invalid-args Fillet radius exceeds the local edge geometry (too large for a thin frame arm). Reduce the fillet radius. Use the variable-radius form to apply a smaller radius on narrow edges.
feature.invalid-args (scale) .scale([sx, sy, sz]) received a zero or negative factor (e.g., a param reached 0). Add a min: 0.001 guard on the controlling param.
feature.hole.no-target-face The hole's entry face is correct but the bore axis does not intersect a solid body. Check that the target body extends along the bore axis past the hole entry depth.
feature.hole.cut-missing A bore centre is off the entry face, the depth is zero, or material is still on the bore axis after the cut. (u, v) are mm from the face centre, not world coordinates. Use the face centre and span in the message: u = worldU - centreU, v = worldV - centreV.

render-inspect is a skill published in the GitHub repository w1ne/kernelCAD-web (33 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,304 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
