What it does

Classcad is an agent skill from awv-informatik/classcad-ai. Design, build, verify and export 3D CAD models with the ClassCAD MCP. Use when the user wants a mechanical part or assembly (bracket, flange, gear, sprocket, housing, enclosure, shaft, fixture), wants to reproduce a technical drawing, needs a parametric or configurable part, or asks for a STEP or STL file.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a mechanical part
  • Assembly (bracket
  • Wants to reproduce a technical drawing
  • Needs a parametric

Example prompts

  • “/classcad”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the input. A plain description, a dimensioned drawing, or a photo each need a different approach. A drawing with dimensions is…
  2. Plan the whole build, then fetch every document you need in ONE docs call: the matching recipe first, always recipes/verification, then…
  3. Build in a few substantial scripts. State persists between scripts: a follow-up script finds the part with await api.tree(). Never call…
  4. Verify with numbers. part.calculateMassProperties after the last operation: compare the volume with what the design math predicts. A…
  5. Show the result. The session has a live 3D view that opens in the user's browser with the first model and follows every change: give the…
  6. Deliver. save writes STEP (format: "STP"), STL, GLB or OFB (ClassCAD's own format, with the model's features) to a path on disk: give the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0773070. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • classcad.ai
    • classcad.ch

    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

Classcad loads about 745 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~745

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 427 words (~745 tokens).

“ClassCAD is a headless CAD engine. The ClassCAD MCP runs it on this machine and gives you a live modeling session. You build a model by writing JavaScript programs against its API, you run them with run_script, and you prove…”
