Claude skills for CAD: before you install one

Is there a Claude skill for CAD?

There are 23 of them, spread over 12 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: lab hardware cad (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, ★ 55k), batch cad converter (datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction, ★ 375) and cad to data (datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction, ★ 375). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.

How do I install a Claude skill for CAD?

For CAD, take the lab-hardware-cad folder from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. In the Claude apps, zip that folder and upload it as a custom skill in settings.

Are all these CAD skills in English?

No: 3 of those listed, such as dentistry implant master and thorlabs blender optical path ja, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the CAD task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.

Should I use a skill or an MCP server for CAD?

A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to CAD itself. We list 31 MCP servers for CAD if you need the connection.

What should I check before installing a CAD skill?

A CAD skill is instructions Claude follows, and it can bundle scripts Claude runs, so read SKILL.md and every script first: for lab hardware cad, that is everything in the lab-hardware-cad folder. Red flags: piping a download into a shell, sending files to a URL, and instructions to hide what it does from you.

Are these CAD skills maintained?

16 of the 23 CAD skills sit in repositories that changed in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026.
