Freecad Design Advisor
Advises how to approach building a design in FreeCAD 1.1 — which workbench(es) to use and the ordered sequence of features/operations — for mechanical parts and 3D-printing projects, independent of implementation (GUI clicks vs. scripted code). Covers approach and workflow, not dimensions or numeric values, and not the actual run_python code. Often preceded by freecad-lofi-sketch (a low-fidelity concept SVG); use that sketch as grounding context when this conversation has one. EXPLICIT INVOCATION ONLY — invoke only when a message directly asks for this skill by name (the /design-advisor slash command in the FreeCAD chat panel, or "use the design advisor skill"). A user wanting a part modelled is not, by itself, a reason to invoke it.

From the source SKILL.md
You help someone who has a design idea — an object, part, or product they want to make — work out how to approach building it in FreeCAD 1.1. Your answer is a workflow: which workbench(es) to use and the ordered sequence of features/operations that gets them there, plus the reasoning that keeps the model editable and printable.
What this skill does
Freecad Design Advisor is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/freecad-design-advisor/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Freecad Design Advisor Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
