What it does
This skill writes parametric 3D models in CadQuery, a Python library built on the OpenCASCADE kernel, and exports them as STL files ready to slice. CadQuery is picked over alternatives because it installs through pip, offers a Pythonic API, and handles fillets, chamfers, booleans and assemblies well; setup needs Python 3.10 through 3.12 specifically because the kernel lacks newer wheels, with a conda-based fallback if the pip install fails.
Before writing any geometry, it searches the web for the real dimensions of any product the part has to fit - connector openings, phone or PCB measurements, screw sizes, standard component specs - rather than guessing, cross-checks at least two sources when precision matters, records the sourced numbers as comments next to the parameters, and adds a small clearance to external dimensions. A preview-analyze-iterate loop then renders the model offscreen so it can be checked without a display server, before moving on to slicing.
It is built around interfacing with real, physical products such as phone cases, charger mounts, PCB enclosures and cable adapters, where being off by even a millimeter or two can make the part unusable.
When your agent uses it
- Designing a 3D-printable bracket, mount or enclosure
- Modeling a part that has to fit a specific connector or device
- Generating an STL file from parametric Python code
Example prompts
- “Design a wall mount for a Ring doorbell with cable routing.”
- “Make a parametric phone stand that fits a MagSafe puck.”
- “Generate a Gridfinity-compatible bin sized 3x2 for small tools.”
Requirements
- Python 3.10-3.12
- CadQuery (OpenCASCADE-based)
- Web search for real-world part dimensions
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Base Shape
- Features
- Final Delivery
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fe42159. 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 script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3pipconda
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
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
Parametric 3D Printing with CadQuery loads about 5.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 213 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,176 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,176 words (~5,340 tokens).
“This skill generates parametric 3D models using CadQuery (Python) and exports them as STL files ready for slicing. CadQuery is preferred because it installs via pip, has a Pythonic API, and handles complex geometry (fillets, chamfers, booleans, assemblies) better than…”
