Install the library to give agents focused workflows for CAD, fabrication, robot description files, simulation, and local review.
CAD
skills/cad

CAD Viewer

step.parts
skills/step-parts
Finds off-the-shelf STEP parts like screws, bearings, motors, and connectors.
DXF

Creates simulator models and worlds with frames, physics, sensors, and lights.
SendCutSend
skills/sendcutsend
Checks DXF and STEP files before upload to SendCutSend.
DfAM Check
skills/dfam-check
Measures mesh printability per process: wall thickness, overhangs, support volume, and build orientation.
G-code
skills/gcode
Slices supported mesh files into validated, printer-profiled FDM .gcode with real slicer CLIs.
Bambu Labs
skills/bambu-labs
Dry-runs, uploads, and cautiously starts local Bambu Lab print jobs from validated .gcode.
INSTALL
Install text-to-cad with the Skills CLI. Provider-native plugin installs are available as a secondary path.
npx skills add earthtojake/text-to-cadRun the same command to update. add re-fetches the package and overwrites what is installed, so it refreshes existing skills and picks up any skill added in a newer release. npx skills update only walks your lockfile, so it silently misses new ones. Neither removes a skill that was retired upstream — drop one with npx skills remove <skill>.

Restart your agent if newly installed skills do not appear. The Codex plugin install requires Codex 0.142.0 or newer; older versions skip the plugin silently.
