step-parts
Find, evaluate, and download common purchasable CAD parts from step.parts, including named off-the-shelf actuators, servos, motors, electronics boards, connectors, screws, bolts, nuts, washers, bearings, standoffs, and other catalog components. Use when Codex needs to search the hosted step.parts catalog before creating simplified placeholder geometry, resolve fuzzy part names, standards, aliases, or dimensions,…

This is an agent skill (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI coding agent to search, evaluate, and download purchasable CAD parts from the hosted step.parts catalog. It covers named off-the-shelf components—actuators, servos, motors, electronics boards, fasteners, bearings, standoffs—and uses the api.step.parts endpoints plus a bundled Python downloader with checksum verification.
Reach for it when you want real, canonical .step files for catalog components instead of hand-building simplified placeholder geometry.
Use it to
- Search the step.parts catalog before modeling placeholder geometry
- Resolve fuzzy part names, standards, aliases, or dimensions to a match
- Download a canonical .step file with checksum verification
- Query API endpoint semantics via the bundled reference
- Hand off resulting .step files to a cad-viewer skill
