cfd-pipeline
Cross-program workflow for CFD analysis — geometry (FreeCAD/Gmsh) to meshing (Gmsh/snappyHexMesh) to solving (OpenFOAM) to visualization (ParaView/Blender). Covers data flow, format conversion, and validation between programs.
Best use case
cfd-pipeline is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Cross-program workflow for CFD analysis — geometry (FreeCAD/Gmsh) to meshing (Gmsh/snappyHexMesh) to solving (OpenFOAM) to visualization (ParaView/Blender). Covers data flow, format conversion, and validation between programs.
Teams using cfd-pipeline should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.
