What it does

Sw Designer is an agent skill from delancy827/solidworks-skills. 用户需要 SolidWorks 参数化设计、建模策略、设计审查、装配/工程图规范或工艺可行性检查时调用本技能。

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/design-manual.md`).

The repository describes itself as: SolidWorks 自动化设计技能包 — 让 AI Agent 真正学会用 SolidWorks. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/sw-designer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Clarify intent. Identify the deliverable: part, assembly, drawing, mold, sheet-metal part, weldment, or review only.
  2. Collect constraints. Record dimensions, material, manufacturing process, tolerances, units, standards, and any downstream drawing or…
  3. Choose a modeling strategy. Prefer native基准面 and robust sketch profiles. Avoid sketching on inclined faces unless no orthogonal strategy…
  4. Parameterize. Use an explicit parameter table or class. Do not bury dimensions in scattered literals.
  5. Validate design intent. Check feature order, body count, symmetry, wall thickness, fillets, chamfers, hole counts, and mating references.
  6. Hand off cleanly. Produce a dimension ledger and validation checklist before automation begins.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33bc2c0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg

    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

Sw Designer loads about 682 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~682
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.7k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SolidWorks Designer

Use this skill for design decisions, parameterization strategy, design review, manufacturability checks, and pre-automation planning. If the task requires writing or executing SolidWorks API code, switch to solidworks-automation.

Design workflow

  1. Clarify intent. Identify the deliverable: part, assembly, drawing, mold, sheet-metal part, weldment, or review only.
  2. Collect constraints. Record dimensions, material, manufacturing process, tolerances, units, standards, and any downstream drawing or simulation requirements.
  3. Choose a modeling strategy. Prefer native基准面 and robust sketch profiles. Avoid sketching on inclined faces unless no orthogonal strategy can represent the geometry.
  4. Parameterize. Use an explicit parameter table or class. Do not bury dimensions in scattered literals.
  5. Validate design intent. Check feature order, body count, symmetry, wall thickness, fillets, chamfers, hole counts, and mating references.
  6. Hand off cleanly. Produce a dimension ledger and validation checklist before automation begins.

Design rules

  • Fully define sketches when the geometry allows it.
  • Prefer orthogonal基准面 and stable references over face-dependent selections.
  • Use design tables or explicit parameter dictionaries for families of parts.
  • Keep feature order editable: base geometry, secondary features, holes, fillets/chamfers, then appearance or metadata.
  • For assemblies, count repeated instances before modeling and prefer standard interfaces or named references over fragile face picks.
  • For drawings, check projection, annotation order, hole callouts, and tolerance stack before export.
  • For molds or forming tools, compute process dimensions before CAD; do not treat part geometry as tool geometry.

Reference routes

Read only the reference that matches the task.

  • references/design-manual.md — full 17-chapter design guide. Search with rg -n "keyword" references/design-manual.md, then read the relevant section rather than the entire manual.
  • ../solidworks-automation/references/drawing-to-3d-lessons.md — drawing interpretation and geometry validation.
  • ../solidworks-automation/references/materials-forming-mold-lessons.md — forming and mold process checks.
  • ../solidworks-automation/references/assembly-debugging-lessons.md — assembly intent and repeated-instance rules.

Boundary

Use cad-automation for AutoCAD work. Use solidworks-automation when the user wants scripts, COM calls, live SolidWorks control, or model generation.

Can I use Sw Designer 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 delancy827/solidworks-skills --skill sw-designer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sw-designer, .gemini/skills/sw-designer, .github/skills/sw-designer and .opencode/skills/sw-designer in your project.

What does Sw Designer need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Sw Designer needs the command-line tools its instructions call (rg).

Does Sw Designer 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 Sw Designer 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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Sw Designer use?

Sw Designer 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 Sw Designer use?

About 682 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k 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 8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Sw Designer?
