Shop Blueprint Generator

Expected Inputs

• context/staging/structure.json (produced by structural-engine; includes members, roof, hub, footings, geometry sections)
• context/staging/joinery-model.json

Pre-Flight: Run Geometry Engine If Not Present

python3 scripts/geometry_engine.py \
    context/staging/structure.json

CRITICAL: Source of Truth for All Angles and Dimensions

You are FORBIDDEN from computing any angle or dimension internally.

Read all fabrication values from context/staging/structure.json (geometry section):

Critical angle distinction — the most common drift failure:

• beam_ring.beam_miter_deg = flat cut across beam end (30.00° for hex/4:12) — used for ring beam crosscuts only.
• compound_cut.miter_deg = compound saw swing for hip rafters (28.71° for hex/4:12) — NOT the same value.
• Never use the rafter miter as the beam miter or vice versa.

The most common hallucination: Using the pitch angle (e.g. 18.43°) as the compound miter setting. The miter angle for a hexagonal hip rafter at 4:12 pitch is 28.71°, not 18.43°. The geometry engine calculates this correctly — use it.

Shop Blueprint Determinism Rule

Shop blueprints are fabrication artifacts, not concept art.

For every revision, all blueprint dimensions, angles, and saw settings MUST be sourced from:

context/staging/structure.json
outputs/shop-blueprint/SB01-cut-list.json

Do not infer, estimate, or copy angles from images, render prompts, or visual references.

If blueprint values differ from structure.json (geometry section), stop and create a drift report rather than publishing the output. Every blueprint must include a test-cut warning for compound cuts.

SVG XML Hard Rules (mandatory — same as drawing-generator)

1. Comments: <!-- ... --> only. No -- inside comment bodies.
2. Text nodes: escape & → &, " → ", < → <, > → >
3. Validate every SVG before writing:

   python3 -c "import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET; ET.parse('outputs/blueprint-shop.svg'); print('XML OK')"
   

4. Then run the full validator:

   python3 scripts/svg_validator.py \
       outputs/<sheet>.svg context/staging/structure.json
   

Behavior

Produce output files:

• outputs/blueprint-plan.svg — Footprint with post coordinates, beam ring, diagonal.
• outputs/blueprint-elevation.svg — Dimensioned elevation with all critical labels.
• outputs/blueprint-isometric.svg — Mathematically projected parallel wireframe. NO AI image generation. Use exact SVG polygon paths derived from the coordinate map.
• outputs/blueprint-component-isolation.svg — Isolated detail for compound cut geometry (rafter top/bottom, bird's mouth, hub bolt placement).

Cut List Rules

When generating the cut list table:

• Copy miter_deg and bevel_deg verbatim from structure.json (geometry section).
• Format as: Miter: XX.X° / Bevel: X.X°
• Include a note: ⚠ Test cut on scrap before cutting all [N] pieces.
• Never include a "Derived by" note — all values come from the geometry engine.

Always prioritize fabrication clarity over visual aesthetics. Dense dimensions, bold callout arrows, and explicit warnings are preferred.

Gotchas

• Miter angle ≠ pitch angle — the most common failure mode. For a hexagonal hip rafter at 4:12, pitch_angle=18.43° but miter_deg=28.71°. Any blueprint showing miter ≈ pitch angle will produce cuts that fail at the hub. Copy miter_deg verbatim from structure.json (geometry section) every time.
• "Test cut on scrap" warning is non-negotiable. It must appear in every cut list that includes compound angles. Omitting it exposes the builder to waste on an expensive timber run.
• Isometric is parallel projection, not perspective. No foreshortening, no vanishing points. Compute SVG polygon paths from the coordinate map. Any visual foreshortening indicates a calculation error.
• SB01-cut-list.json must be written as a build artifact. builder-docs-generator reads board-foot totals from this file to generate the budget estimate. If the JSON is not written, the downstream builder documents will be incomplete.
• Component isolation sheet must show the bird's-mouth cut geometry. This is the most referenced detail at the job site. Missing or vague bird's-mouth dimensions are the leading cause of builder callbacks.

Smoke Test

1. Angle accuracy gate: Given structure.json geometry section with miter_deg=28.71: all blueprint text labels show miter=28.71° exactly; no sheet shows miter≈18.43°. ✓
2. SB01-cut-list.json presence: After skill completes: outputs/shop-blueprint/SB01-cut-list.json exists with board-foot totals populated. ✓
3. Validator gate: All four output SVGs pass svg_validator.py before skill signals completion. ✓

Completion: HANDOFF_BLOCK

On successful SVG and cut-list generation, emit this block so the design-orchestrator can proceed to Stage 5 (Blueprint QA):

{
  "stage": "shop-blueprint-generator",
  "status": "COMPLETE",
  "outputs": [
    "outputs/blueprint-plan.svg",
    "outputs/blueprint-elevation.svg",
    "outputs/blueprint-isometric.svg",
    "outputs/blueprint-component-isolation.svg",
    "outputs/shop-blueprint/SB01-cut-list.json"
  ],
  "sheets_validated": 4,
  "next_stage": "validation-agent (Stage 5 Blueprint QA) → Stage 5.75 Drawing Red-Team Gate"
}

If any sheet fails validation or SB01-cut-list.json was not written, set "status": "FAIL" and list the blocking issues.

🚨 Drawing Red-Team Gate — Embedded Enforcement

This skill MUST NOT claim its own SVG outputs are complete or "builder-meaningful."

Blueprint generation ends at SVG + cut-list production. The stage is NOT complete until:

1. The adversarial gate has run independently:

   python3 plugins/garden-structure-designer/scripts/run_drawing_red_team.py \
     --svg-dir outputs \
     --model context/staging/structure.json \
     --report-dir context/staging \
     --md-dir outputs
   

2. context/staging/drawing-red-team-report.json exists with may_claim_success: true.

Do NOT set package status to PASS, READY, or DESIGN COMPLETE from within this skill. Passing svg_validator.py is necessary but not sufficient — the red-team gate is the authoritative final check.

Stop-and-Diagnose Before Renderer Rewrite

If generated SVGs fail the red-team gate, this skill must not immediately rewrite drawing logic.

First determine whether the failure is caused by:

• path split between context/staging and plugins/garden-structure-designer/context/staging;
• stale quality dashboard;
• missing geometry section in structure.json;
• missing schema-validation-report.json;
• missing physics-validation-report.json;
• red-team/content validator correctly rejecting placeholder drawings;
• renderer genuinely lacking required drawing content.

Only rewrite render_drawings.py after confirming:

1. the active staging path is known;
2. structure.json is current and its geometry section is populated;
3. the quality dashboard reads the same staging path;
4. the red-team/content validator is running against current SVGs;
5. the failure is genuinely renderer output quality.

If the failure is a path/reporting problem, fix the path/reporting problem first.
