pp-sculptok
The first CLI and MCP for SculptOK: turn a local image into a depth map, printable STL, or 3D model in one command Trigger phrases: `make a depth map from this image`, `convert this photo to an STL`, `generate a 3D relief`, `how many SculptOK credits will this cost`, `check my SculptOK credits`, `use sculptok`, `run sculptok`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool that automates the generation of depth maps and 3D models from images, providing capabilities not available in public documentation.
What it needs
Requires sculptok-pp-cli installed locally. About 7k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
SculptOK — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the sculptok-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: sculptok-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. SculptOK's web tool is async and credit-metered: you upload, submit a draw, wait, refresh, then download. This CLI collapses that into one command (generate depthmap/stl/threed/restore) that uploads a local image, previews the credit cost, polls to completion, and saves the results. Every draw, credit event, and upload is mirrored into a local SQLite database so you can search past jobs offline, track spend by kind with analytics, and reconcile credits against produced jobs. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or script needs to turn images into depth maps, reliefs, printable STLs, or 3D models via SculptOK without driving the web UI. It is ideal for batch asset pipelines, credit-aware automation, and answering questions about past jobs and credit spend from a local store. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to edit depth-map geometry by hand; SculptOK generation is AI-driven and the output is post-processed in CAD/CAM tools. …
