The project's README from github.com/elvarofficial/teardown. As one markdown file: README.md.
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. |
