  • Modelling any framed timber structure (stud walls
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Before placing geometry, Rules of the frame and Joinery in a box-and-prism…, plus 3 more sections

What it does

Timber Framing is an agent skill from lukapiskorec/craftbot. Use when modelling any framed timber structure (stud walls, floors, post-and-beam frames, trusses), when choosing member sizes without a manual, or when reviewing whether a model works as a structure.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: CraftBot is an architect AI agent. It interprets design briefs, grounds its thinking in domain knowledge through ingesting documents, images and other references, and outputs…

When your agent uses it

  • Modelling any framed timber structure (stud walls
  • Post-and-beam frames
  • Choosing member sizes without a manual
  • Reviewing whether a model works as a structure

Example prompts

  • “/timber-framing”

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

Timber Framing loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 995 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 995 words (~1,625 tokens).

“A frame is a set of load paths, not a set of shapes. The habit that makes generated frames plausible: for every member, name what load it carries and into which member it delivers it, and place it accordingly.”
