design-automation SKILL.md skillB

design-automation from marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers/design-automation@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Rule-based design systems, constraint satisfaction, space planning algorithms, automated layout generation, drawing automation, code compliance checking, and computational workflows for AEC design automation.

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

# Design Automation for AEC

Design automation is the disciplined application of computational logic to replace, accelerate, or augment repetitive and rule-governed design tasks across architecture, engineering, and construction. This skill covers the full spectrum from simple parametric rules through constraint-satisfaction engines to fully generative layout systems, drawing automation pipelines, and automated code-compliance verification.

## 1. Design Automation Spectrum

### 1.1 Levels of Automation in AEC

Design automation exists on a continuum. Understanding where a task falls on this spectrum determines the appropriate technology and the degree of human oversight required.

| Level | Label | Description | Example |
|-------|-------|-------------|---------|
| 0 | Manual | Designer makes every decision, draws every line | Hand-drafted floor plans |
| 1 | Parametric | Geometry driven by explicit parameters; designer controls inputs | Grasshopper slider controlling facade panel width |
| 2 | Rule-Based | IF-THEN logic encodes design knowledge; system applies rules automatically | Auto-sizing exit widths based on occupant load |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers/design-automation@sha256:b9f27b7b62fd9601

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
