AI skill for ChatGPT and Claude

Let ChatGPT or Claude write ScaffPilot project files. Upload your PDF drawings to a chat and get the buildings, the scaffold round them and a weather-protection roof as one file you open in ScaffPilot – no connection to ScaffPilot needed.

  1. Sign in to ScaffPilot and download the skill. The download is personal: it carries your key.
  2. Claude: Settings › Capabilities › Skills › Upload skill. ChatGPT: Skills › Create › Upload from your computer.
  3. Ask, for example: Make the building from these drawings and put a scaffold and a weather-protection roof on it. The AI shows plan and elevation previews, then gives you the file. Open it in ScaffPilot, check it and run the FEM calculation.

Getting started

  1. Create your free account if you do not have one yet.
  2. Start the app and sign in with the same email and password. Your licence and edition are checked automatically.
  3. The app checks for new versions when it starts and offers to update itself – one click and a restart.

First start

  • Windows: SmartScreen may warn about a new app – choose More info › Run anyway.
  • macOS: unzip and move ScaffPilot to Applications. The first time macOS says “Apple cannot check it for malicious software” – click OK, then right-click ScaffPilot › Open › Open. On macOS 15 and newer: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway. After that it starts normally.
  • Linux: make the file executable (chmod +x) and run it.
  • ScaffPilot runs in one window at a time. If it says “Unable to start server”, ScaffPilot is already open – switch to that window.

Prefer no download at all? Open ScaffPilot in the browser – it is the same app.
