Cimatron-API-Claude-Docs

Package a built Cimatron API plugin into a single self-elevating `.exe` installer end-users can double-click to deploy the DLL into their Cimatron Program folder and register it in `ExternalCommands.ini`. Same EXE supports `/uninstall` to reverse both steps. Invoked by the `/package-installer` slash command; also runnable standalone when a caller needs the recipe without the orchestration layer.

Tail Cimatron user logs for the current plugin project. Surfaces the LogInfo/LogException bookend entries the Cimatron command standard requires on every entry point, grouped by run. Use after F5/run to see what happened on the last invocation.

Offer to initialize a git repository in a freshly-scaffolded Cimatron API plugin folder. Prompts the user once (default Yes); on accept, runs `git init`, writes a sensible `.gitignore` for the .NET/Cimatron template, stages everything, and makes an initial commit. Skips silently with a one-line note if the folder is already inside a git repo. Invoked automatically by `/new-cimatron-api` after the icon step and runnable standalone via `/cimatron-api:git-init`.

Verify the local environment is ready for Cimatron API plugin development — Git, VSCode, the C# Dev Kit extension, the .NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack, and at least one installed Cimatron 2024.0 or newer. Reports a pass/fail table and offers per-item install for anything missing. Run this before `/new-cimatron-api` on a fresh machine.

Reference card for the cimatron-api MCP doc-search workflow — loaded into the main thread when Claude answers a Cimatron API question directly. Documents the search/read_file/list_index tools, ranking weights, and index schema. To DELEGATE a lookup to a subagent, use the cimatron-api-docs agent instead.

Mid-conversation F5 equivalent for a Cimatron API plugin project. Closes any running CimatronE.exe, builds the project, launches Cimatron, and attaches the managed (clr) debugger so the user can hit breakpoints without leaving the chat. Reads CimatronRootPath from the project's Directory.Build.props.
