A project packaging SOLIDWORKS and PDM Professional API docs as agent skills. PR #6 says PDM code is "where unaided models fail most quietly": interface families from IEdmVault5 to IEdmVault22, EdmCmdData fields whose meaning changes per hook, ref instead of the documented out. PR #21 found that two builds of the official PDM help disagree. One marks IEdmEnumeratorVariable5.GetVar obsolete and the other does not, so the skill never flagged it. They now borrow flags across builds and refuse to build if a source is missing, because otherwise "the flag would silently drop again."
