How it works
nopekit
When your agent uses it
Design, validate and fabricate real physical things — hardware, enclosures, PCBs, mechanisms, RC vehicles, solar thermal, chemical processes, printed parts. Use when someone wants to turn a sketch, spec, photo or discussion into something buildable; asks to design, model, simulate, validate, gate, fabricate, 3D print, machine, order boards for, or check the feasibility of a physical object or system; or has an existing CAD/hardware project that needs validation. Also use for "is this design actually going to work", bills of materials, sourcing, manufacturability, tolerance stacks, and readiness reports for physical builds.

# nopekit
nopekit takes what a person asks for to a physical thing they can build, and keeps an
honest account of what has been checked and what has not. Its chain is:
```
requirements -> claims -> evaluators -> packs -> readiness report
```
A **requirement** is what the person asked for, in their words. A **claim** is what must
be true for the design to work. An **evaluator** settles a claim and has shown it can
fail. A **pack** holds one domain's evaluators and proposers. The **readiness report**
is the claims and their verdicts, rendered. Your job is to keep that chain honest: the
failure to guard against is a design that looks validated and is not.pack-authoring
When your agent uses it
Build a new nopekit pack — a reusable validation capability for a physical domain (CFD, FEA, thermal, chemical, optics, machining, sourcing). Use when a claim has no gate and the extension protocol has been followed, when wrapping a solver or analysis tool as a gate, when extracting existing validation code into a shareable pack, or when someone wants to contribute a capability back to nopekit.

# Authoring an nopekit pack
A pack is how a validation capability stops being a one-off. You built a gate for
your project; a pack is that gate made reusable, self-testing and contributable.
Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/PACK_FORMAT.md` for the contract. This skill is the *procedure*.
Where no host filled `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` in (Codex), it is the directory two above
this file: the plugin's root.
## Before you start
**Have you followed `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/EXTENSION_PROTOCOL.md`?** A pack is step 7 of that
protocol, not step 1. If you have not yet named the physical quantity precisely,Skills included
