enclosure-designer

enclosure-designer is a skill for Claude Code from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (568 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing 3D-printed cases and housings for Arduino, ESP32, and RP2040 projects. It accounts for board size, connectors, mounting, ventilation, and moisture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan measurements, mounting holes, connector cutouts, OpenSCAD designs, print settings, and protection from weather or water.
Why use it?
It helps turn a working circuit into a case that fits the parts and suits its surroundings.

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

enclosure-designer 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 12d ago.

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

Enclosure Designer

Use this skill to design practical enclosures without loading a full mechanical guide up front.

Resources

  • assets/basic-template.scad - starting OpenSCAD template
  • scripts/generate_enclosure.py - enclosure generator script
  • references/design-workflow.md - measurement, parameter, and generator workflow
  • references/dimensions.md - common board and module dimensions
  • references/print-and-protection.md - wall thickness, print settings, ventilation, and waterproofing

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • an enclosure, case, box, or housing
  • mounting holes or cutout placement
  • OpenSCAD-based enclosure generation
  • board fit checks for Arduino, ESP32, or Pico-class boards
  • print-material or weather-resistance guidance

Workflow

  1. Gather the minimum physical inputs:
    • board dimensions
    • tallest component
    • connector locations
    • mounting method
    • environmental constraints
  2. Open references/design-workflow.md for the parameterization flow.
  3. Open references/dimensions.md if the user does not already have exact measurements.
  4. Open references/print-and-protection.md for material, wall, ventilation, or moisture guidance.
  5. Use assets/basic-template.scad or scripts/generate_enclosure.py when the user needs a concrete starting model.

Core Rules

  • Treat user measurements as authoritative over reference dimensions.
  • Add clearance deliberately for connectors, wiring, and print tolerance.
  • Separate fit problems from printability problems.
  • Do not promise waterproofing from geometry alone.

Verification

  • The board and connectors fit with explicit clearance.
  • Mounting points and cable exits are reachable.
  • The selected material and wall thickness match the use environment.
  • Print orientation and support strategy are named before finalizing the design.

Integration

  • Pair with battery-selector or power-budget-calculator if battery size drives the enclosure volume.
  • Pair with readme-generator when the enclosure should be documented for a project repo.

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.

enclosure-designer is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 568 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.
