kernelcad from w1ne/kernelcad-web is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

kernelCAD entry decision tree — what skill to load when, universal conventions that apply everywhere. Load this FIRST; it points at the right specialty skill for your task.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# kernelCAD A two-tier skill system. **Load `kernelcad-authoring` to write or modify any `.kcad.ts` model.** Add specialty skills as the task demands. ## Decision tree - Authoring or editing `.kcad.ts` geometry → load `kernelcad-authoring`. - Real / production / complex enclosure, gearbox, bearing housing, robot arm, NEMA plate, shaft/bearing → load `kernelcad-authoring` (+ `kernelcad-assemblies` / `kernelcad-features` / `kernelcad-parts` as needed); `lookup_cookbook` via the industry→cookbook table in `kernelcad-mcp` (housing / mechanism / scissor-lift / 4-DOF arm / NEMA / shaft-bearing / sheet-metal / enclosure lid); prefer `design_loop` until green (`docs/agent/adam-quality-bar.md`). - Building from a reference photo or visual brief → also load `kernelcad-from-reference`. - Building from an engineering drawing PDF → call `drawing_to_cad`, then load `kernelcad-from-reference` for its ledger and fidelity rules. - Adding fillets, chamfers, shells, holes, cutouts → also load `kernelcad-features`. - Editable parameters / set_param / live sliders → also load `kernelcad-params`. - Multi-part with joints / mates / connectors → also load `kernelcad-assemblies`. …

How to install
mdr add w1ne/kernelcad-web/kernelcad@sha256:402870f17c06ab5bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.f1a2c6d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
