At a glance

Download and manage abqpy API documentation. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify which module the user needs… → Read the relevant documentation file → Extract specific method signatures,…
  • User asks about API documentation
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Documentation Location, Module Index and How to Use, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Abaqus Docs is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Download and manage abqpy API documentation. Use when user asks about API documentation, API reference, or downloading Abaqus docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about API documentation
  • Downloading Abaqus docs

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash(uv:*), Bash(python:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify which module the user needs from the index above
  2. Read the relevant documentation file
  3. Extract specific method signatures, parameters, or examples

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash(uv:*)
    • Bash(python:*)

    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):

    • hailin.wang
    • github.com

    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

Abaqus Docs loads about 748 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 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
~748

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

Abaqus Documentation Skill

Navigate and access Abaqus Python API documentation for parameter lookups and method reference.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user asks:

  • "Where is the API documentation?"
  • "What parameters does X take?"
  • "What methods are available for Material/Part/Mesh?"
  • "Show me the API reference for..."
  • "Download/refresh the docs"

Route elsewhere:

  • Learning concepts or workflows -> specific analysis skills
  • Running analyses -> /abaqus-static-analysis, /abaqus-dynamic-analysis, etc.
  • Quick code examples -> module-specific skills like /abaqus-material

Documentation Location

All API documentation is pre-downloaded at:

.claude/docs/abaqus-api/modules/
