Set PartCAD up on this machine so other skills can run it — the `pc`/`partcad` command line tools, either as the standalone build from GitHub releases (`executable`) or as the wheel in the active Python environment (`python-module`), plus the PartCAD extension when this session runs inside Visual Studio Code or VSCodium. Use when the user runs /pc:setup or when PartCAD is not installed.
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:setup Set PartCAD up so `pc` and `partcad` become runnable, and so the editor this session is running in — if it is running in one — can browse and view what they build. > Named `setup` rather than `install` because `pc install` is a different thing > entirely. That command is PartCAD's `npm install`: it fetches a *package's* > imports into the local cache, and it needs PartCAD to already be here. This > skill is what puts PartCAD here. Two parts, in order: 1. **The command line tools**, always. The argument selects how. It is in `$ARGUMENTS`; if empty or unrecognized, default to `executable` and say so. 2. **The editor extension**, only when this session is running inside Visual Studio Code or VSCodium. Everywhere else there is nothing to do. | Argument | Installs | Afterward it runs as | | --- | --- | --- | | `executable` | Standalone PyInstaller bundle from the latest GitHub release (no Python needed) | `pc` / `partcad` on `PATH` | | `python-module` | The `partcad` wheel into the **active** Python environment | `python -m partcad_cli.click.command` | ## Which version The plugin these skills ship in is released by PartCAD's own release, under …

How to install
mdr add partcad/partcad/setup@sha256:2445935f3804f05dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1c93544, 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.
