What it does

The reference image is evidence, not the deliverable. The deliverable is a real parametric object that holds up from front, back, side, top, bottom, and reference camera views — a model that matches one image but falls apart from other angles has failed, even if the comparison board looks close.

Cutaway, sectioned, exploded, or transparent references are evidence about the complete object: build the closed artifact and recreate explanatory views with viewer/inspection tools (the main forgecad skill's closed-artifact rule applies).

What it can touch

  • Includes 1 script

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/compare_images.py.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • No known risk pattern found

    Launch7’s automated check read all 3 text files in this skill and matched none of its risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.

    How we know

    Read 2026-10-04, commit 7523f68 by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.

  • Updated this year

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to ForgeCAD/forgecad-public-kit: 2026-06-15 (111 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 4 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 1 script beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.
