armature (rioharper)MCADConfidence: Medium

The armature-cad skill tells the agent to confirm 'the fabrication reality', meaning in-house machining envelope, printer, sheet stock, bend capability and minimum drill sizes, but it names a file only for an outside shop's questionnaire. The in-house limits and a shop's published limits have no home, so each project invents one.
