Machine Skill
Machine Skill is an open source skill for Claude Code that builds interactive 3D simulations of machines in one HTML file.
Machine Skill is an open source skill for Claude Code that creates photoreal, interactive 3D simulations of machines in a single HTML file, along with a recorded film. Claude researches the real machine, writes down its dimensions and physics, and builds parts like twisted titanium airfoils, gears, and routed pipes using three.js. The tool includes a studio environment, physical materials, display modes like explode and cutaway, and small physics solvers for cycles and fluid dynamics. It is designed for engineers, creators, and developers who want to visualize complex mechanical devices. You can run the generated pages in any WebGL 2 browser, and use Node and ffmpeg to record films.
