Generate a PartCAD part from a natural-language description (and optional reference images, drawings, 3D files or requirements) by writing down what it is required to be, settling its dimensions on temporary sketches that /pc:gen-sketch measures and validates, authoring a CAD script (or extruding a validated sketch), and validating it with the PartCAD CLI - including measuring the same dimensions again on the part's own projections. Use for /pc:gen-part or when the user asks to generate…

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

# pc:gen-part

Generate one PartCAD **part**. The text after the command (`$ARGUMENTS`) is the
part description — what to build. *You* author the CAD script yourself and prove
it works with the PartCAD CLI; do not use any built-in `ai-*` part type or
generation pipeline. Hard requirement: the finished part **passes `pc test`** (its
geometry instantiates cleanly).

Steps 4–7 are the reference flow — the shape the legacy `pc add part --ai`
pipeline used (plan geometry → write script → validate → compare → refine), with
the dimensions settled first and measured last: settle the dimensions on
sketches → plan → write the script → validate → measure and compare → refine.
Treat it as a strong default, not a script: skip, reorder, or replace steps as
the part warrants, but always finish by validating, and never let a stated or
shown dimension reach the model without having been measured.

## 1. Understand the request

- `$ARGUMENTS` is the description. Read it and any `requirements`, and view
  reference images directly. Ask the user to clarify only genuinely load-bearing
  ambiguities; otherwise proceed and state your assumptions.
- Work in millimeters and degrees unless told otherwise.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add partcad/partcad/gen-part@sha256:e9c4462eeee65423

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.261a936, 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.
