Using Scripter
When it turns on
Section titled “When it turns on”Scripter turns on by itself when you share an invention or design idea, or ask to design, 3D-model, review or build something that has to work: a product, a machine, an app or a building. It also turns on for questions about how something should work, or what to make it from.
| Turns on | Stays off |
|---|---|
| I invented a bike that charges your phone while you ride. Check if it works. | Write a short poem about autumn. |
| Is it possible to make a drone that never lands? | Fix this Python error: TypeError … |
| Make me a 3D model of a folding laptop stand. | Write an email asking my landlord to fix the heating. |
| Will a 12 mm plywood shelf hold 20 kg over 80 cm? | Give me a recipe for banana bread. |
| Design an app that tells me when my plants need water. | Write a PowerShell script that renames .txt files to .md. |
| Turn my 2D sketch of a lamp into 3D. | Design a logo for my bakery. |
| desgin me a beter washing machin that uses less water | What’s the capital of Australia? |
These are real prompts from its trigger tests, which check that it turns on for the left column and stays off for the right. The typo is deliberate: it should still turn on. A logo is design work, but nothing in a logo has to function, so it stays off.
Calling it by name
Section titled “Calling it by name”If it doesn’t turn on when you want it to, call it:
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Claude Code, installed as a plugin | /scripter:scripter |
| Claude Code, installed as a personal skill | /scripter |
| ChatGPT skill | @scripter |
| Custom GPT | open Scripter from the sidebar |
How much it does
Section titled “How much it does”It scales the effort to the question.
- A small question (a material, a dimension, a part, “will this hold?”) gets a direct answer in a few sentences, covering the one or two checks that matter.
- A new design, a review, “is this possible?”, or a build gets the full method: a report, then a stop for your OK before anything big is made.
Getting better answers
Section titled “Getting better answers”Give the goal, not only the object. “A shelf” is less useful than “a shelf for about 30 kg of vinyl records, in a rented flat where I can’t drill much.”
Give your limits. Size, budget, materials, the tools and skills you have, and whether it’s a one-off or mass-produced. Where you don’t say, it states an assumption and marks it as assumed, so check the Understanding line.
Say what “3D” means. “Make it 3D” could mean a picture, a 3D-printable file or engineering CAD. These are different jobs. Saying which one saves a question.
Attach the sketch. It reads the views you give it, lists what is drawn and what must exist but isn’t, and asks about the gaps before modelling. See the sketch-to-3D checklist.
Include your own numbers. If you already know the motor rating, the load or the flow rate, say so. It checks its estimates against yours.
What it won’t do
Section titled “What it won’t do”- Praise the idea. No “great idea!”, no “hope this helps”. If something works, it says so in a short line, so you know to keep it.
- Change your design without telling you. Every change is listed.
- Build before you confirm. Even if you say “just make the 3D model”, it shows the verdict and assumptions first. The request says what to build after the check. It doesn’t cancel the check.
