cd-foundations SKILL.md skillB

cd-foundations 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/cd-foundations@v1.0.0

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

Auto-activating foundation layer providing computational design paradigms, key pioneers, tools landscape, core concepts, and skill routing for all AEC computational design tasks.

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

# Computational Design Foundations

This skill auto-activates whenever a computational design context is detected. It provides the foundational knowledge layer, paradigm classification, tool routing, and anti-pattern awareness that underpins every other skill in the Computational Design Skills Plugin.

## 1. Computational Design Paradigm Overview

Computational design is not a single methodology but a spectrum of interrelated paradigms. Each paradigm carries distinct assumptions about the relationship between the designer, the algorithm, and the artifact. Understanding which paradigm applies to a given problem is the first critical decision in any computational design workflow.

### 1.1 Parametric Design

**Definition:** Parametric design establishes explicit relationships between design elements through variable parameters and constraints, enabling the exploration of a continuous design space by adjusting input values. The geometry is not drawn; it is described as a system of dependencies.

**Key Characteristics:**
- Associative relationships between geometry elements (change one parameter, downstream geometry updates)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcinfinitesimal533/claude-skills-for-computational-designers/cd-foundations@sha256:33cd3c80650f8721

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.
