Systematic materials selection for engineering design using performance indices, Ashby charts, multi-constraint optimization, and case-based reasoning. Covers the five-step Ashby method — function, objective, constraint, free variable, index — with worked examples for stiffness-limited beams, strength-limited ties, thermally shocked vessels, and minimum-cost components. Use when choosing among metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites under competing objectives.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'materials-selection' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'materials-selection' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named materials-selection already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e179dfe911f3b3c2ff8bcd90ecd6ee4738648d17' -- 'examples/skills/materials/materials-selection' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'examples/skills/materials/materials-selection' ~/.agents/skills/'materials-selection' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'materials-selection' ~/.claude/skills/'materials-selection' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
