What it does

Archicad Basic Workflow is an agent skill from h30190/HJPLUS_Taiwan_Architect_KB. This skill should be used when architects need to understand Archicad project setup, BIM modeling workflow, view organization, drawing production, and publishing processes. Scope: project setup and modeling workflow only — actual drawing production, issue sets and PDF/DWG publishing belong to archicad-documentation. Trigger words: Archicad 建模、專案設定。

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `domain.md`). Compatibility notes: claude-code,opencode,agent-skills

It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: 一個開源的台灣AEC產業知識庫,只要你願意共享經驗與知識就歡迎加入我們. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Words: Archicad 建模、專案設定

Example prompts

  • “/archicad-basic-workflow”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): claude-code,opencode,agent-skills

Workflow steps

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

  1. Update linked references, survey files, and consultant models.
  2. Review clashes and design changes in 3D and section.
  3. Resolve ownership: architectural, structural, MEP, interior, or client decision.
  4. Update saved views and affected layouts.
  5. Publish a dated coordination set.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c24d243. 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

    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.

  • Compatibility

    claude-code,opencode,agent-skills

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Archicad Basic Workflow loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Archicad Basic Workflow

This skill covers the core Archicad workflow for architectural projects, from project setup and model organization to view creation, layout documentation, coordination, and publishing.


Section 1: Project Startup

1.1 Initial Setup Checklist
ItemPurposeTypical Decision
Project originDefines the shared reference pointAlign with survey or agreed BIM coordination point
StoriesControls vertical building levelsMatch architectural levels and structural datums
Grid systemEstablishes planning and structural referencesCoordinate with structural consultant
UnitsControls display and documentation precisionSet by office standard and project phase
Project locationSupports sun studies and geolocationUse site location when relevant
AttributesControls graphic and BIM consistencyStart from office template where possible
  • Confirm project phase and expected deliverables before modeling in detail.
  • Set story heights before placing major walls, slabs, stairs, and curtain walls.
  • Establish layer combinations, model view options, and renovation filters early.
  • Use favorites for repeated assemblies, components, and annotation types.
  • Define naming conventions for views, layouts, zones, modules, and hotlinks.

Section 2: Modeling Workflow

2.1 Model From Big To Small

Start with architectural massing and primary building systems before detailed components.

StageModel FocusOutput
ConceptMassing, levels, gross zonesFeasibility diagrams and area checks
SchematicWalls, slabs, openings, stairsPlans, sections, elevations, basic schedules
Design developmentAssemblies, key details, consultant referencesCoordinated drawings and model review
Construction documentsAccurate dimensions, annotations, detailsPermit or construction drawing package
2.2 Core Elements
  • Use walls, slabs, roofs, shells, columns, beams, stairs, railings, doors, and windows as native BIM elements.
  • Use Morphs and Objects only when native tools cannot represent the design intent efficiently.
  • Keep classification, ID, layer, renovation status, and surface settings consistent.
  • Avoid over-modeling details that should be drawn as 2D details or worksheets.

Section 3: Views And Documentation

3.1 View Structure
Archicad AreaRole
Project MapRaw model viewpoints
View MapSaved documentation views with scale and graphic settings
Layout BookSheet composition and title block management
Publisher SetsExport sets for PDF, DWG, BIMx, or coordination packages
3.2 View Settings To Control
  • Scale
  • Layer combination
  • Model view options
  • Graphic overrides
  • Pen set
  • Renovation filter
  • Dimension standard
  • Partial structure display

Section 4: Coordination Rhythm

4.1 Weekly Coordination Cycle
  1. Update linked references, survey files, and consultant models.
  2. Review clashes and design changes in 3D and section.
  3. Resolve ownership: architectural, structural, MEP, interior, or client decision.
  4. Update saved views and affected layouts.
  5. Publish a dated coordination set.
4.2 Quality Checks
  • Model origin and consultant model alignment.
  • Story height and level consistency.
  • Door and window IDs.
  • Zone names, numbers, and areas.
  • Layout issue date and revision status.
  • PDF output scale and title block information.
