cad-viewer

by Text to CAD

Start CAD Viewer and return review links for explicit CAD, implicit CAD, and robot-description files. Use when visually reviewing `.step`, `.stp`, `.implicit.js`, `.implicit.mjs`, `.glb`, `.stl`, `.3mf`, `.dxf`, `.urdf`, `.srdf`, or `.sdf` files, especially when handed off from CAD, implicit-cad, URDF, SRDF, or SDF generation skills.

Frequently asked questions about cad-viewer

What does the cad-viewer skill do?

Start CAD Viewer and return review links for explicit CAD, implicit CAD, and robot-description files. Use when visually reviewing `.step`, `.stp`, `.implicit.js`, `.implicit.mjs`, `.glb`, `.stl`, `.3mf`, `.dxf`, `.urdf`, `.srdf`, or `.sdf` files, especially when handed off from CAD, implicit-cad, URDF, SRDF, or SDF generation skills. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the cad-viewer skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install text-to-cad-cad-viewer` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/text-to-cad-cad-viewer/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does cad-viewer work with?

cad-viewer runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the cad-viewer skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use cad-viewer after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/text-to-cad-cad-viewer` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the cad-viewer skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
