forgecad-public-kit
Public companion kit for ForgeCAD: examples, agent skills, docs links, and issue tracking. The hosted CAD app and core source live elsewhere.
The ForgeCAD Public Kit provides a collection of agent skills that teach AI coding assistants to create parametric 3D CAD models using JavaScript/TypeScript. The skills include workflows for design specification, model building, CAD reconstruction, inspection validation, and MuJoCo simulation verification. Developers install these skills into their AI agent environments (Claude, Codex, etc.) to enable autonomous creation and iteration of code-first CAD geometry with parameter validation, collision checks, and automated exports.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Enable AI coding assistants to generate parametric mechanical parts and assemblies from natural language descriptions
- 02Automate CAD model reconstruction from existing STEP/STL files or reference images using vision-capable agents
- 03Validate CAD geometry through automated inspection bundles checking dimensions, collisions, and clearances
- 04Generate physics-ready models with MuJoCo simulation verification for robotics and mechanical design
- 05Create design documentation workflows where agents produce high-level and low-level design specs before modeling
- 06Build iterative CAD workflows where agents refine models based on parameter sweep results and inspection evidence

forgecad-public-kit — FAQ
What is the ForgeCAD Public Kit agent skill?+
It is a collection of nine installable agent skills that teach AI coding assistants to create, validate, and inspect parametric 3D CAD models using the ForgeCAD JavaScript/TypeScript API. The skills provide structured prompts and workflows for design, modeling, reconstruction, and verification tasks.
How do I install the ForgeCAD agent skills?+
Run 'forgecad skill install' to place the skills in ~/.agents/skills, or use '--target claude', '--target codex', or '--target opencode' to install into specific agent configuration directories. The CLI automatically installs all public workflow skills plus the core modeling skill.
Which AI clients and agents work with these skills?+
The skills are designed for coding agents with shell access, including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. For chat-only tools, generate a single-file context bundle using 'forgecad skill one-file'.
Do I need API keys or a ForgeCAD account?+
Yes, you need a ForgeCAD account to use the hosted app and CLI features like project sync, though local validation and rendering work offline. The npm package and CLI are governed by ForgeCAD's product terms; check forgecad.io/pricing for commercial usage details.
Is the ForgeCAD Public Kit free to use?+
The public kit repository itself is MIT licensed. The ForgeCAD npm package, CLI, and hosted application usage are covered separately by ForgeCAD's product terms and pricing available at forgecad.io/pricing.
What workflows are included in the skill library?+
The library includes skills for design specification, model building, CAD file reconstruction, image-based reconstruction, inspection validation, model grading, MuJoCo simulation verification, project synchronization, and AI image prompt generation. Each skill provides structured prompts and command examples for specific CAD tasks.
