Panel process pack

You’re about to power a panel. Don’t burn a day on a stupid miss.

Exit gates for the shop floor and for your agent.

Industrial control panel work has a real order. Skip a gate and you pay in time, rework, or a dead I/O card. This dual-use kit gives humans full craft checklists and gives Cursor / Claude / Codex the same gates — refuse first power until every exit is green.

Panel process pack

$29 · digital zip · personal / one-team · human files + agent skill · PDF + Markdown

What you buy: a dual-use zip — not a course call, not live remote debug. Shop-floor folks usually want PDF; agents keep Markdown/YAML.

Human half

  • Printable PDFs of every checklist (quickstart, spine, intake, pre-power, failure table, shop sequence, FAT, example)
  • Same content as Markdown for editing
  • 5-minute quickstart + order-of-operations spine with exit gates (“done looks like”)
  • Named-person pre-power checklist (tug at FAT and SAT, staged breakers)
  • Full failure modes table — depth/packing, motor inrush, PLC↔contactor coils, field access, power entry, transport, copy-sale, process loop, swarf

Agent half

  • Domain SKILL.md (map · ideal · gap · path) that refuses first power while gates are open
  • job-brief.yaml template + example (means constraints + gate state)
  • Install paths for Cursor / Claude Code / Codex in the README

Not in this pack: live troubleshooting, site visits, full CAD/PLC programs, UL stamping, or a BOM configurator agent.

After you pay: the zip should download when checkout finishes. Email is a backup and a Substack door, not the product. Print the checklists. Drop agent/ into your tools. Same bar.

Ladder

  1. Free — general Maps skill (any stuck problem): SKILL.md · install /p/skill
  2. $29 — this pack (panel gates for you + your agent)
  3. Need a live engineer — $50 scheduled or $500 now

General thinking stays free. This pack is the panel domain. Live help is Need a live engineer.

When this is the right door

  • You build or supervise panels and want a shared bar before “can we power it?”
  • You’re tired of repeating the same mechanical packing, coil, and loose-wire misses
  • You want files you can print and a skill your agent won’t bypass

When a different door is better

Need a live engineer on the path

$50 scheduled · $500 now

If the pain is a stuck plant job and you need a live engineer — not a zip — open Need a live engineer.

Whole machine arc (catalog)

Build → program → test → commission → service is larger than one pack. The process map is still a draft catalog; this pack is the live DIY aspirin for panel process.

Machine-building process map

Not marketed as “AI panel designer.” L2 course later if you want depth after the spine.
