At a glance

Derives a building's dimensional grid from real sheet, panel, and transport constraints instead of hard-coding spacing numbers.

  • Designing a dimensional grid for prefabricated or panelized construction
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Where the module comes from, The tartan grid (Segal) and Dimensional discipline as a…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Sizing panels against real transport or handling constraints

What it does

The module comes from the actual sheet size in use: a 1220 by 2440 sheet gives a 1220 module and a 610 planning grid, so a European 600 mm sheet rescales the whole model coherently, while a soft-metric mismatch between nominal and actual stud spacing is treated as a warning sign that the grid was used wrong. Panel size is set by what a person or a truck can actually move rather than by aesthetics, so every element gets validated against real handling and trailer envelopes, with lapping and offsets preferred over butted, mitred edges that can't actually be built.

A tartan grid alternates wide panel bands with narrow structural bands so every joist and post lands on a band and no panel ever needs cutting, with the design order running plan-first: partitions laid out, then the frame following the plan rather than the reverse.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing a dimensional grid for prefabricated or panelized construction
  • Sizing panels against real transport or handling constraints
  • Checking a design for stud spacing that doesn't divide evenly

Example prompts

  • “Derive a planning grid from 1220x2440 sheet stock for this design.”
  • “Check whether these panel sizes actually fit on a standard trailer.”
  • “Lay out a tartan grid so no panel needs cutting.”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c9715b. 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.

Context cost

Modular Grids and Panelization loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 926 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 926 words (~1,533 tokens).

“In panelized construction the dimensional system is derived, not chosen: sheet and panel sizes come from somewhere concrete (a sheet catalogue, a truck, two people lifting), and everything else follows. A generator should take those source constraints as inputs and…”
