Description
URDF is an agent skill for creating, editing, inspecting, validating and debugging URDF files, the robot description format used in robotics. The skill treats URDF work as constrained kinematic modeling rather than plain XML writing. Its guidance names the main ways a robot model goes wrong: frame placement, joint axis semantics, unit consistency, mesh scale and inertial data. It runs the cadgen tooling through uv so that its commands share one installation and one warm build service with the CAD application, which means the first run downloads the installation and a headless browser snapshot, and later runs reuse both. The skill is for robotics engineers who describe a robot's links and joints so that simulators and motion planners can use it. It is published by earthtojake on skills.sh under the text-to-cad repository, with about 9.7K installs. The skills.sh listing shows Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk all passing.…

urdf FAQ
What is URDF?
The Unified Robot Description Format, an XML format for describing a robot's links, joints, limits, meshes and inertia.
What are the main risks?
Frame placement, joint-axis semantics, unit consistency, mesh scale and inertial data, according to the skill.
What do I need to run it?
uv, which runs the cadgen tooling. The first run downloads the installation and a headless browser snapshot.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/earthtojake/text-to-cad --skill urdf.
What are the best urdf alternatives?
Popular alternatives to urdf include step-parts, opentrons-integration and pylabrobot. See all urdf alternatives
