Expert skill for parametric 3D CAD model development with design intent and configuration management
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill cad-modeling --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 3D CAD Modeling Skill ## Purpose The 3D CAD Modeling skill provides expert capabilities for parametric 3D CAD model development with proper design intent, configuration management, and best practices for model quality and reusability. ## Capabilities - SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo workflow automation - Parametric feature-based modeling best practices - Assembly design and constraint management - Design table and configuration creation - Top-down and bottom-up assembly strategies - Part family and library component creation - Model validation and quality checking - CAD data exchange and translation ## Usage Guidelines ### Part Modeling #### Design Intent Capture 1. **Sketch Best Practices** - Fully constrain all sketches - Use construction geometry - Apply meaningful dimensions - Reference design features, not edges 2. **Feature Planning** ``` Order of features: 1. Primary form (base feature) 2. Secondary forms 3. Positioned features 4. Detail features (rounds, chamfers) 5. Reference geometry ``` 3. **Parametric Relationships** - Link related dimensions - Use equations for complex relationships - Create global variables for key parameters - Document design equations #### Feature Be

What does the cad-modeling skill do?
Expert skill for parametric 3D CAD model development with design intent and configuration management
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill cad-modeling --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
