What it does
SDFormat/SDF model and world authoring, validation, and simulator handoff. Use for `.sdf` files, SDFormat XML, models, worlds, links, joints, poses, frames, inertials, visual/collision geometry, mesh URIs, sensors, lights, physics, plugins, includes, Gazebo, static SDF review, or simulator-specific metadata. Do not use for signed-distance-field geometry. Open and visually review existing SDF files in CAD Viewer.
SDF
Provenance: maintained in earthtojake/text-to-cad. Use the installed local skill files as the runtime source of truth; the repository link is only for provenance and release review.
Use this skill when the deliverable is an SDFormat document. SDFormat describes simulator and world behavior: models, worlds, frames, poses, links, joints, inertials, visuals, collisions, sensors, lights, physics, plugins, includes, and simulator metadata.
This skill is for SDFormat, not signed-distance-field geometry.
The .sdf file is the source of truth: author and edit the XML directly.
Setup
Run cadgen through the cadgen command its installation writes, so this skill's commands
share one installation, and its engine server, with the CAD app's:
cadgenbelow meanscadgen +0.8.4(~/.local/bin/cadgen +0.8.4where~/.local/binis not on your PATH)pythonbelow meanscadgen +0.8.4 run
For first-time setup or an update, a missing cadgen command, a release it says is not
installed, an engine that is not running, or an installation or kernel load error, read
Setup and troubleshooting.
