At a glance

Translates Revit-oriented BIM Skill intent and terminology into a guarded Archicad MCP workflow while preserving the original Domain method and Revit route.

  • Works in 6 steps: Select the backend → Preserve the BIM method → Anchor the Archicad instance → …
  • Applying BIMMCP Skills to Archicad
  • SKILL.md covers Portability Contract, Hard Boundaries, Workflow and Translation Example, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Archicad Skill Adapter is an agent skill from shuotao/REVIT_MCP_study. Translates Revit-oriented BIM Skill intent and terminology into a guarded Archicad MCP workflow while preserving the original Domain method and Revit route. Use when applying BIMMCP Skills to Archicad, selecting a BIM backend, querying Archicad elements, numbering Zones, producing Archicad quantity takeoffs, or handling Revit→Archicad 轉譯、名詞對照、GUID、Story、Zone、Layout、Tapir。

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/archicad-runtime-facts.md`, `references/pilot-element-query.md` and `references/pilot-quantity-takeoff-excel.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office. It works with Model Context Protocol and Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: LEARN HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR REVIT MCP.

When your agent uses it

  • Applying BIMMCP Skills to Archicad
  • Selecting a BIM backend
  • Querying Archicad elements
  • Numbering Zones

Example prompts

  • “Use the archicad-skill-adapter skill to translate Revit-oriented BIM Skill intent and terminology into a guarded Archicad MCP workflow while…”
  • “/archicad-skill-adapter”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Select the backend
  2. Preserve the BIM method
  3. Anchor the Archicad instance
  4. Discover the capability
  5. Translate and dispatch
  6. Verify and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2faacc5. 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

Archicad Skill Adapter loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 789 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 789 words (~1,672 tokens).

“Use existing BIM_MCP Domain knowledge and workflow intent with an Archicad backend. Translate orchestration only; never pretend that similarly named Revit and Archicad objects are API-equivalent. This Skill is an opt-in branch, not a replacement for any Revit workflow.”
