CAD Viewer

Provenance: maintained in earthtojake/text-to-cad.
Use the installed local skill files as the runtime source of truth; the
repository link is only for provenance and release review. If the user asks to
modify, debug, or iterate on CAD Viewer source itself, clone that repository and
work there — this installed skill runtime runs the Viewer, it is not where you
edit it.

Use this skill to open existing or newly generated CAD, implicit CAD,
robot-description, or DXF files in CAD Viewer and hand back live review links. The expected input is one or more explicit file paths.

Start Viewer

Start one local CAD Viewer with npm run start. It serves the prebuilt Viewer
bundle plus the CAD API on a single fixed port (3245). It is NOT started
against a directory — a URL names the directory, so one Viewer serves any folder.

The default port 3245 is 0xCAD — "CAD" in hexadecimal.
