text-to-cad

Gives an agent skills to generate 3D models as STEP, STL, 3MF or GLB and run manufacturing checks

Install the Claude Code plugin

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

Copied from the project's docs at github.com/earthtojake/text-to-cad

Why you'd want it

text-to-cad is a plugin and skill set that gives an agent local workflows for generating 3D models as STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF files. Its skills also cover design for manufacturing checks, engineering drawings, 2D DXF files, URDF, SRDF and SDF robot and simulator files, and slicing to G-code with OrcaSlicer. Models open in a CAD Viewer, shown as a card in the conversation where the app supports it or as a browser link otherwise. The README says it works with agents that support plugins or the skills framework, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Grok.

Best for

  • Prompting an agent to model printable parts
  • DFM and printability checks before fabrication
  • Robot description files for URDF and SDF

Use it when

You want a coding agent to produce and edit CAD files from plain-language or image requests, then check them for 3D printing, sheet metal or CNC before sending them out.

Skip it if

You do not want telemetry: usage stats and crash reports are on by default with a random install ID, and you turn them off with uvx cadgen telemetry off. It needs uv installed, downloads its CAD runtime on first start, and runs a local server and a browser viewer. Its skills can send prints to Bambu Lab printers, so review what an agent may do there. Releases are still 0.x (v0.7.21), and on Windows 11 with Smart App Control on, the README says CAD commands fail unless you turn it off or use WSL.

Editor's note

Other agents get the skills alone with npx skills add earthtojake/text-to-cad#latest; Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Grok routes are in the README.

    Why you'd want it

    SkillSpector scans a skill from a Git repo, URL, zip file, directory or single SKILL.md against 71 patterns in 17 categories, including prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, MCP tool poisoning and MCP least privilege. It runs static analysis first and an optional LLM evaluation second, gives a 0 to 100 risk score, and writes terminal, JSON, Markdown or SARIF reports. It can also run as an MCP server with a scan_skill tool, so Claude Code, Codex CLI or Gemini CLI can gate skill and MCP installs on the result. It is part of NVIDIA's Verified Skills pipeline.

    Best for

    • Vetting third-party skills before install
    • CI checks with SARIF output
    • Gating installs from inside an agent

    Use it when

    You install skills or MCP servers from public repositories and want a report on risky patterns before they reach your agent.

    Skip it if

    You only use skills you wrote yourself. The optional LLM analysis sends skill content to the configured provider with your API key; --no-llm runs static checks only. The README notes the stdio MCP transport still has an initialize hang reported in issue #199.

    universal-modder

    Devtool

    Gives a coding agent skills, a CLI and a shared knowledge base for modding PC games you own

    • score 83
    • 7.8k stars
    • 509 stars/day since creation
    • pushed
    • MIT

    Install as a Claude Code plugin

    /plugin marketplace add rehan-remade/universal-modder
/plugin install universal-modder@universal-modder
    Use it when, skip it if, stats for universal-modder

    Why you'd want it

    universal-modder packages Agent Skills, three subagents and a Python CLI called um that a coding agent uses to mod a game: um scan finds Steam, Epic and Xbox installs and fingerprints the engine, loaders, anti-cheat and save folders, um backup snapshots saves, and um fal, um sprite and um render3d make and fit art, 3D and audio for the engine. The mod-any-game skill runs a fixed loop of recon, a backed-up lab, reading the real code, building one slice, testing it in the running game and writing a field note. Those field notes live in a knowledge base in the repo that agents search with um kb before starting and add to by pull request.

    Best for

    • Modding single-player PC games with an agent
    • Generating sprites and 3D assets for mods
    • Reusing other agents' modding notes

    Use it when

    You want Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or another agent to work out how a game you own is built and ship a mod for it, with assets and an in-game test.

    Skip it if

    You play online games with anti-cheat: its own safety notes say injecting into an online client breaks the game's terms and gets accounts banned, and it refuses to do so. It touches game folders, saves, processes and your mouse and keyboard (asking first), asset generation needs a fal API key or a local ComfyUI server, and the repo is about two weeks old with no tagged release.

    Agent Skills (Addy Osmani)

    Devtool

    Adds engineering workflow skills for specs, tests, review and shipping to your coding agent

    Install all skills with the skills CLI

    Use it when, skip it if, stats for Agent Skills (Addy Osmani)

    Why you'd want it

    Agent Skills is a pack of SKILL.md workflows covering the path from idea to launch, such as spec-driven development, test-driven development, code review, security hardening and shipping, each ending with evidence requirements like passing tests or build output. It also ships reviewer personas, reference checklists and, in Claude Code, slash commands such as /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review and /ship. It installs with the skills CLI or as a Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI plugin, with setup guides for Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode and GitHub Copilot.

    Best for

    • Making agents write specs and tests first
    • Shared engineering standards across several agents
    • Structured code review before merge

    Use it when

    Your coding agent skips specs, tests or review and you want step-by-step workflows it follows across a project.

    Skip it if

    Your changes are small one-off edits where a spec, plan and test cycle adds overhead. Installing a single skill with npx leaves out the shared reference checklists.
