/build123dCAD modeling with build123d Python library. Use when creating 3D models, exporting to GLB/STEP/STL, or doing boolean operations (union, difference, intersection). Triggers on: CAD, 3D modeling, sphere, box, cylinder, mesh export, GLB, STEP, STL, solid modeling, parametric/model-compareCompare 3D CAD models using boolean operations (IoU, Dice, precision/recall). Use when evaluating generated models against gold references, diffing CAD revisions, or computing similarity metrics for ML training. Triggers on: model diff, compare models, IoU, intersection over/gltf-transformOptimize and post-process GLB/glTF 3D models. Use when compressing models for web delivery, reducing file size, simplifying geometry, inspecting model stats, merging models, or converting textures. Triggers on: optimize GLB, compress model, reduce file size, simplify mesh, draco/render-glbRender GLB 3D models to PNG images for visual verification. Use when you need to SEE your generated 3D model, verify geometry, check visual correctness, or show results to users. Triggers on: render GLB, preview model, visualize 3D, see my model, check geometry, visual

Installation
Add the marketplace to Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add raymondweitekamp/VibeCAD
Then install the plugins you need:
/plugin install build123d@vibecad
/plugin install render-glb@vibecad
/plugin install gltf-transform@vibecad
Using Skills
After installation, invoke skills using the format <plugin-name>:<skill-name>:
| Plugin | Skill Invocation |
|---|---|
| build123d | build123d:build123d |
| build123d | build123d:model-compare |
| render-glb | render-glb:render-glb |
| gltf-transform | gltf-transform:gltf-transform |
Skills are automatically triggered when Claude detects relevant tasks (CAD modeling, GLB rendering, model optimization), or you can explicitly load them.
Available Plugins
build123d
Skills for using Build123D - a Python CAD library for creating parametric 3D models with code.
Skills:
build123d- CAD modeling with algebra-style syntaxmodel-compare- Compare 3D models using IoU, Dice, precision/recall metrics
Features:
- Algebra-style syntax for intuitive model creation
- Parametric design patterns
- Export to GLB, STL, STEP, and other formats
- Includes bd_warehouse (threads, fasteners, pipes, flanges, bearings)
- Includes gggears (spur, helical, bevel, planetary, cycloid gears)
- Model comparison for evaluating ML-generated models against gold references
render-glb
Render GLB 3D models to PNG images for visual verification.
- Zero-setup with
bunx render-glb model.glb output.png - Enables agents to see what they build and iterate visually
- Configurable resolution and background color
gltf-transform
Optimize and post-process GLB/glTF 3D models.
- Draco/Meshopt compression for web delivery
