Get started

Install the skills

npx skills add elvarofficial/teardown -g -a claude-code

Installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and the other agents it finds on your machine.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/elvarofficial/teardown.git /tmp/teardown
cp -r /tmp/teardown ~/.claude/skills/teardown

Claude Code reads ~/.claude/skills/ (or .claude/skills/ in a project). Other agents read the same SKILL.md format from their own skills folder.

teardownBuild an interactive 3D simulator of a real machine or mechanism (an engine, a landing gear, a walking linkage, a pump, a gearbox) as one offline HTML page people can take apart, with live panels driven by the same model that moves the parts, a button for every subsystem, cutaways, camera views and /

teardown

A Claude Code skill that turns any machine into a 3D simulator you can take apart.

Ask how something works. Claude builds it as one offline HTML page: the machine runs in the middle, every panel around it reads the real numbers, a button opens the part doing the work, and when nobody touches it the page tours itself.

Install

npx skills add elvarofficial/teardown -g -a claude-code

Then, once, in the installed folder:

npm install && npx playwright install chromium

You need Node.js 20 or newer. For the video you also need ffmpeg, and for the sound Python 3.

Use

Ask Claude Code in plain words:

Build me a simulator of a 4-stroke motorcycle engine I can take apart.

How does a mechanical watch keep time? Show me as a simulator.

Make a teardown of a hydraulic excavator arm and record a 20-second video of it.

Or open one of the 3 examples first:

node sims/build.mjs v8-live          # teardown-out/dist/v8-live.html
node sims/build.mjs cessna-live
node sims/build.mjs strandbeest-live

What is inside


`SKILL.md`	What Claude reads: how a machine is built, the rules that make it look right, the review loop.
`sims/kit/`	Runtime, stage, shader warm-up.
`sims/v8-`, `sims/cessna-`, `sims/strandbeest-*`	3 complete machines. `-shared` is the machine, `-live` the page you drive, `-film` the recorded tour.
`sims/build.mjs`	Bundles a machine into one HTML file, three.js and fonts inlined.
`sims/capture.mjs`	Renders the film frame by frame to a 60 fps mp4, or to review sheets of stills.
`sfx/`, `run_sfx.py`	Procedural sound on the film's timeline, mastered to −14 LUFS.
