From the source SKILL.md

make_hinge produces a single fused, watertight hinge whose pin axis is the X axis. Knuckles alternate between the two leaves (even-indexed knuckles attach to the +Y leaf, odd-indexed to the -Y leaf), and the pin runs through every knuckle, fusing the whole assembly into one connected solid. The result is a watertight single-component Build123d Part centered at the origin. n_knuckles is clamped to a minimum of 2.

def make_hinge(pin_diameter_mm: float, length_mm: float, n_knuckles: int,
               leaf_thickness_mm: float = 3.0) -> Part
