Teardown makes machines explorable

A Claude Code skill called Teardown turns a machine into a 3D simulator you can take apart. You can ask Claude Code in plain language for something like a motorcycle engine or an excavator arm. The result is a single offline HTML page, with the machine in the middle and panels that show its numbers. A button opens the part doing the work, and the page can tour itself when left alone. The GitHub page lists three complete example machines and 853 stars. The project page also says setup requires Node.js 20 or newer, with extra tools needed for video and sound.

For a business, the useful idea isn’t just a 3D model. It’s a way to make a machine’s parts and operation explorable in one page. That could help make technical information easier to inspect, though the project page doesn’t report how companies are using it or what results they’re getting. This is the kind of thing we build into an AI command centre, where useful AI tools can be considered alongside the work they might support.
