Reconstruct a parametric ForgeCAD model from an existing 3D CAD or mesh file such as STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, or STP; inspect the source asset directly, author real ForgeCAD geometry, and iteratively score the candidate with `forgecad score reconstruction`.
Create rough high-level ForgeCAD concept models from simple primitives to explore layout, proportions, motion, and part relationships without production detail. Use when asked for a quick model sketch, blockout, spatial mockup, or intuitive low-detail 3D concept.
Write a high-level design document (HLD) for a model, mechanism, or assembly before detailed specification or coding. Use when starting a new design, rethinking an existing one, or when the user asks to spec out, plan, or think through a model at a high level. Works backwards from requirements — defines the problem, explores alternatives, records decisions. Produces a right-sized design document for review and iteration.
Build real ForgeCAD geometry from one or more reference images by treating images as evidence, inferring the object, then validating against both reference-matched and canonical views.
Create manufacture-realistic prototype ForgeCAD (.forge.js) models in the active CAD project. Handles file placement, invokes the forgecad skill for API guidance, and validates the result.
Analyze, verify, and grade ForgeCAD or CAD-as-code models against a user requirement, design brief, prompt, reference, or acceptance criteria. Use when asked to evaluate, judge, QA, benchmark, score, rate, or compare a CAD model; render it from multiple angles, run targeted inspections when needed, visually verify the evidence, and produce a 0-10 score with concise justification.
Turn a fuzzy physical product, mechanism, or CAD artifact request into a concrete manufacture-realistic prototype ForgeCAD build brief and a single master prompt for the modeling pass. Use when the engineering brief is incomplete, manufacturing/process choice is underspecified, or the work needs a specific operating story to avoid generic toy solutions.
ForgeCAD project CLI workflow — creating, managing, syncing projects and files on forgecad.io. Covers init, push, pull, file operations, member management, publishing, and sharing.
