Ask Claude Code how a machine works and teardown has it build the machine as one offline HTML page with three.js: the machine runs in the middle, the panels around it show live numbers from the same model, buttons open…

Made for Claude Code; other agents are untested. Results lean on a strong model and several rounds of review, so expect long sessions. The parts and numbers are a convincing model, not an engineering-grade simulation, so don't use it as a technical reference.

It works with Claude Code. The code is on GitHub at elvarofficial/teardown.
Free & open source (MIT). No API key. Runs with the Claude plan you already pay for, but a full machine is a long build that uses a lot of your plan's usage.
Run the install command from the README: “npx skills add elvarofficial/teardown -g -a claude-code”. Check the README on GitHub for the latest version, then follow the steps on this page.

SKILLA design skill plus a small React kit that teaches your agent to make convincing faux product UI: still images, feature cards, cursor-driven demos and bento grids. It plans the story in a few beats, builds from solid examples, then films the result and fixes what it finds.
