What it does

Set Project Units is an agent skill from shuotao/REVIT_MCP_study. Switch a whole Revit project's display units in one tool call via the setprojectunits MCP tool. Use when the user asks to change project units, "改專案單位 / 切公制 / 一鍵改單位", set Air Flow to m³/h for Taiwan §102, set plumbing units for 給排水 (L/min, mH2O, 1:ratio slope), or align units to a project standard. For Taiwan HVAC use mode='taiwan'; for Taiwan 給排水 use mode='taiwan-plumbing'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. The repository describes itself as: LEARN HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR REVIT MCP.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to change project units
  • 改專案單位 / 切公制 / 一鍵改單位
  • Set Air Flow to m³/h for Taiwan §102
  • Set plumbing units for 給排水 (L/min

Example prompts

  • “改專案單位 / 切公制 / 一鍵改單位”
  • “taiwan”
  • “taiwan-plumbing”
  • “/set-project-units”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Re-anchor active Revit state first (repo CLAUDE.md rule): call get_project_info (and get_active_view if a view matters). If the bridge is…
  2. 確認開的是複本,不是原始資料集檔(鐵則 #1)。單位切換是全案寫入。
  3. 切換前先抓基線:讀一顆代表元素的完整參數(get_element_info),存進單位凍結紀錄。
  4. 寫下預測再切:把關鍵欄位的換算值先寫下來,切完讀回比對。先切再解釋=事後合理化。
  5. Call set_project_units
  6. One call at a time. The bridge holds a single-connection lock; concurrent calls wedge it with HTTP 409 (recover with the ribbon's…
  7. Verify by read-back, not by echo. 回傳的 Result 是套用後從 Document 回讀的實際 unit/symbol/accuracy。
  8. Report what changed and remind the user it is Ctrl+Z reversible.

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

Set Project Units loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 603 words (~1,428 tokens).

“One-call project-wide unit switching, replacing the manual Manage → Project Units → per-discipline clicking. Backed by the set_project_units MCP tool (MCP/Core/Commands/CommandExecutor.ProjectUnits.cs), which calls Document.SetUnits(...) inside a single reversible Transaction (Ctrl+Z).”
