CAD AI Agent Skill

Use this skill when a user asks for CAD/DXF drawing intelligence: summaries, compliance checks, quantity takeoffs, RFIs, health reports, revision comparison, or safe edit planning.

Upstream project: https://github.com/jeremylongshore/cad-ai-agent

Setup

Clone and install the upstream project when the user wants to run the full local pipeline:

git clone https://github.com/jeremylongshore/cad-ai-agent.git
cd cad-ai-agent
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Workflow

1. Identify the drawing format: DXF is directly supported by the upstream project; DWG/PDF may need conversion or a different inspection pipeline.
2. Ask what the user wants: summarize, edit, compare, query, generate documentation, compliance, coordination, estimation, or quality.
3. Preserve originals. Prefer save-as outputs and structured reports.
4. For edits, produce structured operation plans rather than modifying raw CAD data directly.
5. For analysis, return layer/entity summaries, issues, measurements, and concrete next actions.

This bundled skill is a BoosAPI Desktop wrapper around the upstream project and keeps CAD operations explicit and reversible.
