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.
# Composite Structures Skill ## Purpose Enable expert composite aerospace structure design and analysis including laminate optimization, failure prediction, and manufacturing considerations. ## Capabilities - Laminate analysis and optimization - Classical laminate theory (CLT) calculations - Ply failure criteria (Tsai-Wu, Hashin, LaRC) - Stacking sequence optimization - Manufacturing constraint consideration - Repair analysis and substantiation - Allowables database management - Impact damage assessment ## Usage Guidelines - Apply appropriate failure criteria based on loading and material system - Consider manufacturing constraints in laminate design (ply drops, tool access) - Use building block approach for allowables development - Account for environmental effects (temperature, moisture) - Design for inspectability and repairability - Document material and process specifications completely ## Dependencies - HyperSizer - ESACOMP - Laminate tools - NASTRAN ## Process Integration - AE-009: Composite Structure Design

What does the composite-structures skill do?
Expert skill for composite aerospace structure design and analysis
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill composite-structures --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.
