text-to-cad is a library of agent skills for generating, inspecting, sourcing, slicing, and handing off CAD and robot-description artifacts from local project files.

URDF

SRDF / MoveIt2

🧰 Skills

Install the library to give agents focused workflows for CAD, fabrication, robot description files, simulation, and local review.

Skill	Summary	Source
CAD	Creates and edits CAD models from plain-language or image requests, with STEP as the main output along with options to export to STL, 3MF and GLB.	skills/cad
CAD Viewer	Shows local browser previews for CAD and robot files.	skills/cad-viewer
step.parts	Finds off-the-shelf STEP parts like screws, bearings, motors, and connectors.	skills/step-parts
DXF	Creates 2D DXF drawings like profiles, templates, gaskets, and cut layouts from Python sources or CAD geometry.	skills/dxf
URDF	Writes robot structure files with links, joints, limits, inertials, and meshes.	skills/urdf
SRDF	Adds MoveIt planning groups, end effectors, poses, and collision rules to a URDF.	skills/srdf
SDF	Creates simulator models and worlds with frames, physics, sensors, and lights.	skills/sdf
SendCutSend	Checks DXF and STEP files before upload to SendCutSend.	skills/sendcutsend
G-code	Slices supported mesh files into validated, printer-profiled FDM .gcode with real slicer CLIs.	skills/gcode
Bambu Labs	Dry-runs, uploads, and cautiously starts local Bambu Lab print jobs from validated .gcode.	skills/bambu-labs
Implicit CAD	Creates browser-native implicit CAD models using GLSL signed-distance fields and CAD Viewer raymarch rendering. Experimental.	skills/implicit-cad

💻 Installation

For production use, install or clone from main; that branch contains the generated skill outputs needed by provider installers.

Skills

Install text-to-cad with the Skills CLI:

npx skills install earthtojake/text-to-cad

This is the preferred installation path. It installs the individual skills directly for supported agents.

Plugins

Provider-native plugin installs are also available for Codex and Claude Code:

# Codex (requires Codex 0.142.0 or newer)
codex plugin marketplace add earthtojake/text-to-cad
codex plugin add cad@text-to-cad

Codex resolves this repository-root plugin only from 0.142.0 onward. On older versions the plugin is skipped silently and never appears in codex plugin list; upgrade with npm install -g @openai/codex@latest.

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add earthtojake/text-to-cad
claude plugin install cad@text-to-cad

Restart your agent if newly installed skills do not appear. For local development, branch from develop, open PRs against develop, and use the symlink workflow in CONTRIBUTING.md.

🛠️ Contributing

Development happens from the develop branch; open PRs against develop, not main. For local contribution workflow, skill linking, and validation guidance, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
