Claude Code & Claude apps

Claude loads skills automatically from its skills directory.

Claude Code

Create a skill folder — personal: ~/.claude/skills/machine-skill/, or per-project: .claude/skills/machine-skill/
Save the skill content as SKILL.md inside that folder.
Claude Code picks it up automatically and invokes it when relevant.

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/machine-skill

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop

Enable Skills under Settings → Capabilities, then upload the skill (a folder or zip containing SKILL.md).

One-prompt install

Paste this prompt into any agent with web access and it will install the skill for you.

Install the "Machine Skill" skill from Onei AI. Fetch https://onei.ai/skills/machine-skill, extract the full skill content from the page, and save it where you load skills from (for Claude Code: .claude/skills/machine-skill/SKILL.md). From now on, apply this skill whenever it is relevant to my request.

# Machine Skill

An open-source Claude Code skill. Run `/machine <one-line description>` and Claude researches the machine, models its parts and physics, and writes one interactive HTML simulation.

## Install

```bash
npx skills add AirsupHQ/machine-skill -g -a claude-code
```

## Use

```text
/machine a mechanical watch movement, the escapement ticking
```

Open the generated `watch.html`: drag to orbit, explode, cut away, x-ray, slow motion, or break a part.

## Film it

```bash
node ~/.claude/skills/machine/scripts/record.mjs watch.html out/watch.mp4
```

Requires Node 18+, Playwright and ffmpeg. Full skill definition: https://github.com/AirsupHQ/machine-skill

Usage Instructions

Generic Instructions

npx skills add AirsupHQ/machine-skill -g -a claude-code

Then in Claude Code: /machine a turbofan jet engine.

Description

Machine Skill is an open-source Claude Code skill that turns a one-line description such as "a mechanical watch movement" into a single self-contained HTML page you can open from disk. Claude researches the real machine, records its true dimensions and the physics that drive it, then builds the parts with physically based materials, studio lighting and a small solver per machine, whether that is a Brayton cycle, a rocket nozzle or a pump curve.

In the viewer you can drag to orbit, explode the assembly, cut it open, switch to x-ray, slow time down, read live labels and trigger a computed failure. A bundled recorder script produces a deterministic 28-second film with a music bed, so the same model doubles as social content. The gallery includes a turbofan, a rocket engine, a refinery pump and a multistage compressor.

Install it with npx skills add AirsupHQ/machine-skill -g -a claude-code and run /machine in Claude Code. Filming needs Node 18+, Playwright and ffmpeg. Free and MIT licensed.
