earthtojake/text-to-cad

Project overview

A collection of installable skills that enable supported AI agents to generate, inspect, source, slice, and hand off CAD, fabrication, and robot-description files from local project files. It provides local browser previews and targets local workflows rather than cloud-only SaaS tools.

Best for

• Developers and creators who need to generate, inspect, source, slice, and hand off CAD, fabrication, and robot-description artifacts via supported AI agents.
• Users who require workflows for local project files and browser previews rather than cloud-only SaaS tools.

Key capabilities

• Creates and edits CAD models from plain-language or image requests, with STEP as the main output along with options to export to STL, 3MF and GLB.
• Shows local browser previews for CAD, G-code, and robot files.
• Finds off-the-shelf STEP parts like screws, bearings, motors, and connectors.
• Creates 2D DXF drawings like profiles, templates, gaskets, and cut layouts from Python sources or CAD geometry.
• Writes robot structure files with links, joints, limits, inertials, and meshes.
• Adds MoveIt planning groups, end effectors, poses, and collision rules to a URDF.
• Creates simulator models and worlds with frames, physics, sensors, and lights.
• Checks DXF and STEP files before upload to SendCutSend.

Limitations and risks

• Heavyweight assets are stored in Git LFS and excluded from default pulls.

Getting started

• Installation difficulty is rated easy. Users can install it via a single command (npx skills install) or plugin marketplace add. The first success path is running npx skills install earthtojake/text-to-cad.
