Skill packs for your AI (36 starters)

Overview

Skill packs for your AI are ten packs with 50 prompt starters. They teach an AI assistant the tools of the CadCraft apps, one pack per app or discipline: drafting and plotting in CadCraft, residential models in BimCraft, massing in ModelCraft, steel detailing in DetailCraft, review in MarkupCraft, survey and grading in CivilCraft, estimating in TakeoffCraft and mechanical parts in PartCraft. Each pack has a skill text the assistant reads, and starters: requests written as templates that the assistant carries out with the app's tools.

Who it’s for

• People who use an AI assistant with a CadCraft app and want it to know the app's tools and words.
• Office teams who want the same starting prompts for each discipline.
• Anyone who wants to check what an assistant is told before they use a pack.

What you can do

• Give an AI app the skill for an app: download the pack's zip, which holds a folder with a SKILL.md file, and add it to an AI app that takes skills.
• Use a prompt starter as a template: fill in its slots, such as a size or a sheet name, and run it. Each starter lists the calls it makes and the check on the saved file.
• Use the packs over MCP: each starter is served as a prompt named pack.starter, and each skill as a resource.

Data and sources

The skill texts and starters are written by us from each app's own tools. The pack builder refuses a pack that claims the app has AI built in, makes a file-privacy promise, or names another maker's product in a title or heading.

Verification

Each starter has an eval task in tools/mcp/evals (packs-<app>.json, and hub/packs-*.json for ModelCraft, DetailCraft and the window tools of MarkupCraft). The runner is tools/mcp/evals/run.mjs, and run-hub.mjs for the hub tasks. bin/test-packs.mjs checks the packs, and with --evals it plays the recipes. The session log for the first 36 starters records each one passing its eval. The 50-starter set has no recorded pass rate in the session logs checked for this listing, and the window-only redline tools are not covered by an eval.

Limits

A skill is text that an assistant reads, not a guarantee. The assistant can still get a step wrong, and the saved file is what the starter's check looks at. The packs never tell an assistant to act on text found in a file. Where the redline tools need a redline package, they are not covered by an eval.

Files and formats

Each pack is a JSON file (cadcraft-skill-pack, version 1) with the skill text and starters, and a version without the recipes. Downloads are a zip per pack holding a folder with SKILL.md. The index of packs is at /assets/packs/index.json.

Get started

1. Open the pack list at /assets/packs/index.json and pick the pack for your app.
2. Download its zip (for example /assets/packs/skills/cadcraft-drafting.zip) and add the SKILL.md folder to an AI app that takes skills, or connect the app over MCP and use the starters as prompts named pack.starter.
3. Fill in a starter's slots, run it, then check the saved file against the starter's check.
