What Reconstruct CAD File does

Reconstruct CAD File turns an existing CAD or mesh file into a readable parametric .forge.js model. Use it when you need to measure, compare, and rebuild a source asset rather than wrapping it as an import.

Reconstruct CAD File is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Reconstruct CAD File comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, cad-as-code, cad-examples, forgecad and issue-tracker.

Documentation

README

Reconstruct CAD File

The reference asset is evidence, not the deliverable. The deliverable is a readable, parametric .forge.js model that runs, renders, and scores well against the source. Never return Import.mesh()/Import.step() of the source as the final model unless the user explicitly asks for an import wrapper โ€” imports are for measurement, rendering, and scoring only.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

ForgeCAD Build Model

ForgeCAD Build Model creates or edits a manufacture-realistic .forge.js model in an active ForgeCAD project. It validates the model with run, render, inspect, and export checks for real shop-ready geometry.

ForgeCAD Design Spec

ForgeCAD Design Spec creates a design brief, HLD, or LLD before coding by working through use, assembly, interfaces, decisions, and verification. It is used to turn a vague physical product request into a reviewable markdown spec with clear assumptions and validation points.

ForgeCAD Image Prompt

ForgeCAD Image Prompt writes image prompts from a concrete ForgeCAD model or build spec while preserving visible mechanisms, materials, and assembly truth. Use it for honest hero renders or builder-focused visuals when the artifact is already specific enough to depict.

ForgeCAD Inspect Model

ForgeCAD Inspect Model selects inspection commands and interprets evidence bundles for collisions, sections, thickness, components, gaps, normals, and surface continuity. Use it when a shaded render is ambiguous and you need structured verification of a model.

ForgeCAD Model Grader

ForgeCAD Model Grader scores a ForgeCAD or CAD-as-code model against a brief, requirement, or reference with evidence and a 0-10 rubric. Use it when you need a baseline grade, re-grade after repairs, or a structured review of model quality.
