What it does and how it connects

cad-skills is a two-module skill pack that teaches an AI agent to work in AutoCAD. The cad-automation module covers how to draw with code, and the cad-designer module covers how the design should be done, with GB/T drafting standards, layer management, annotation, blocks, templates and print output. Each module is a SKILL.md of about 1,200 lines in 18 chapters.

The automation module drives AutoCAD through Python with pyautocad and win32com, AutoLISP, and SendCommand, covering drawing, editing, layers, annotation, blocks, 3D modeling and batch processing. The README states an internal library of more than 400 CAD automation scripts and design guides, plus 308 AutoLISP plugin patterns. The stated requirements are AutoCAD 2020 or later, with Python 3.10 or later optional for the Python path.

Installation is a copy step: clone the repo and place the cad-automation and cad-designer directories in the agent's skill directory. The README states the pack is not affiliated with Autodesk and warns that API calls can damage files, so the user should back up before running it.

Alternatives

Compare side by side
  • AutoCAD-skills

    A single GB/T drafting skill with explicit evidence gates for parameter authority, readback, cross-view proof and plot-scale truth, rather than a two-module automation and design skill pack.

  • dwg-mcp

    A local MCP gateway that drives AutoCAD 2022 to 2027 through an in-process plugin, rather than a skill pack the agent follows.
