What it does

Openscad is an agent skill from autonomous-ai/openharness. Turn measured requirements into editable OpenSCAD part families, compare fit variants, and deliver checked STLs plus a portable project.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 16 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/design.md`, `scripts/handoff.js` and `scripts/render-part.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: The ultimate harness for coding agents and beyond. All your agents. All your machines. One command center. Start with code, then follow your curiosity and build across… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/openscad”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 74c2733. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 13 files in scripts/ (JavaScript and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • sh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openscad loads about 928 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~928
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

OpenSCAD

Build a useful object from the user's real measurements and intended process. The starter is a drawer-organizer family, not a prescribed shape. For multi-part mechanisms requiring a true B-rep/STEP deliverable, choose a suitable CAD workflow instead of relabeling an STL.

Before authoring a checked project, read references/design.md for the source interface, requirement schema and probe semantics. Keep the brief and limits in design.json; implement module part(id, …named parameters…) in model.scad. The builder calls each part with the saved variant values; it ignores top-level preview geometry. Declared input files are the only sources copied into the portable project. Compile trusted SCAD only; this is not a sandbox.

Ask for missing measurements that would change the result. Otherwise state assumptions and make progress. For a mating fit, useful variants often differ only in clearance; a small fit coupon can save a full print. Never call a generated coupon a completed physical test.

sh
sh "$OPENSCAD_SKILLS/openscad/scripts/render-part.sh"
node "$OPENSCAD_SKILLS/openscad/scripts/serve-handoff.mjs" "$HARNESS_WORKSPACE"

Requires Node 20+ and a separately installed OpenSCAD (tested 2021.01); set OPENSCAD_BIN for a custom location. The second command prints a loopback-only URL. Open that URL for variant comparison, native top/front/side sections, individual print-oriented STLs, the measured report and handoff/project.zip. It remains a saved snapshot after edits; rebuild before relying on it. The main CAD pane displays the selected design.preview part as part.stl.

The helper renders every variant and part, checks repeat exports agree, then measures the actual saved mesh: closure/orientation/surface-shell count, required bounds/volume, empty clearance regions, required material and optional relative-part overlap. It orients individual STLs, moves them onto the bed, checks the declared build envelope and natively reimports them. Section planes are explicit; silhouettes are labelled. Outputs publish only after all checks and source-hash checks pass. A build lock prevents competing writers; previous outputs live in .harness/history/. Inspect .harness/build.log and .harness/failed-mesh.json after a failure. Do not remove a lock until its owner process has stopped.

Show full SKILL.md (159 more words)Show less

Inspect the actual STL in the CAD Viewer (orbit, section/measure when useful), not a source-code screenshot. Review the handoff on the intended screen size and make a substantive revision. Keep the user's requirements fixed while correcting geometry. Test that a known obstruction or missing material is rejected; do not weaken checks to obtain a green verdict.

The ZIP includes source, variant wrappers, all exported parts/views and standalone rebuild tools. Extract it and run node rebuild/build.mjs . with Node and OpenSCAD installed; no Harness account or npm packages are required. preview.scad opens the selected editable configuration in OpenSCAD; handoff/source-previews/ contains the other configurations. These preserve design coordinates; downloadable STLs use print coordinates.

Checks cover only declared probe regions, not global minimum thickness or every self-intersection. They do not certify strength, slicing/supports, packed-plate capacity, food safety or real fit. Separate the digital evidence, process assumptions and physical testing still needed. A legacy model.scad without design.json renders a geometry preview with readiness false.

Turn measured requirements into editable OpenSCAD part families, compare fit variants, and deliver checked STLs plus a portable project.

How do I install Openscad in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill openscad -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (store/agents/openscad/skills/openscad in autonomous-ai/openharness) into .claude/skills/openscad in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Openscad in Codex?

Run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill openscad -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (store/agents/openscad/skills/openscad in autonomous-ai/openharness) into .agents/skills/openscad in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Openscad in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add autonomous-ai/openharness --skill openscad -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/openscad, .gemini/skills/openscad, .github/skills/openscad and .opencode/skills/openscad in your project.

What does Openscad need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Openscad needs JavaScript and a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node and sh). Our summary lists: Node.js; A Bash shell.

Does Openscad access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Openscad safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Openscad use?

Openscad is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Openscad use?

About 928 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Openscad?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Openscad: Copy Editing (coreyhaines31/marketingskills, 54k stars), Venice Image Edit (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars), Fal Image Edit (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars) and Fal Video Edit (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
