Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This kit provides mechanical engineers with a structured approach to parametric design using .forge.js models. It bridges the gap between high-level specifications and physical realization by integrating design briefs with executable code.
The workflow enables users to move from high-level design documents and low-level specifications into active model construction, with built-in capabilities for rendering, inspecting, and exporting evidence to ensure manufacturing accuracy.
WHO IT'S FOR
Mechanical engineers
build manufacture-realistic parametric CAD models
Hardware product designers
create design briefs and high-level specifications
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Use the forgecad-image-prompt skill to read my concrete ForgeCAD artifact at [path/to/model.forge.js] and, if provided, [path/to/brief-or-HLD]. Return one sentence interpreting the artifact, one builder-honest hero-render prompt using the default front-left three-quarter view, and a short note saying which prompt to try first. Preserve known subassemblies, mechanisms, materials, visible hardware, and part boundaries; do not invent uncertain internals.
Use the forgecad-inspect-model skill to inspect [path/to/model.forge.js] for this single failure question: [overlap, thin walls, hidden cavity failure, disconnected bodies, floating parts, or another specific risk]. First confirm that the model executes, then select one targeted inspection appropriate to that question. Report the exact command, output bundle path, manifest highlights, PNG views actually inspected, and any finding that requires a model fix. Do not edit the model.
Path to, or text of, the requirements or design brief
ForgeCAD CLI available
Use the forgecad-grade-model skill to grade [path/to/model.forge.js] against [path/to/brief-or-requirements]. Do not repair the model. Extract must-haves and nice-to-haves, run it, inspect iso/front/right/top renders, add targeted inspection only if hidden geometry, fit, wall thickness, or assembly behavior is central, and return the documented 0–10 report with evidence, applied caps, and the 2–5 highest-leverage fixes.
