## What this is
A curated set of 76 builder skills + 76 matching confirmation reviewer skills that automate the structured xlsx deliverables required across the automotive engineering lifecycle:
- **ISO 26262** functional safety (concept → HW → SW → safety case)
- **ISO/SAE 21434** cybersecurity (TARA → goals → concept → architecture → IR plan)
- **ISO 21448 SOTIF** for ADAS/AV (analysis → triggering conditions → validation strategy)
- **AIAG-VDA quality** (APQP → DFMEA → PFMEA → Control Plan → PPAP)
- **Automotive SPICE** (assessment → gap analysis → improvement → evidence)
- **Communication protocols** (DBC / LDF / ARXML / FlexRay / Automotive Ethernet / K-Matrix / bus load / gateway routing)
- **Diagnostics** (UDS / DTC catalog / CDD / ODX / DEM)
- **AUTOSAR** (Classic SWC, Composition, BSW, RTE; Adaptive applications)
- **Calibration** (A2L / DCM / cross-supplier exchange)
- **MBSE** (ARCADIA model architecture, requirements allocation, system context)
- **SysML** (block diagram, requirement diagram, activity diagram, state machine)
- **V&V** (verification plan, validation plan, test case catalog, traceability matrix, V&V execution report)
- **Chain-integrated program management** (risk register, gate review, WP roll-up, change impact, lessons learned)
- **Continuous improvement** (8D, 5-Why, fishbone, MSA Gauge R&R, SPC)
Each skill is an installable `.skill` file. The chain is the moat — every downstream skill consumes the upstream skill's xlsx output as a stable file-format contract.
## Quickstart
1. Download the skill you need from `skills/` (or the full bundle from Releases)
2. Click "Save skill" in Cowork / Claude Desktop to install
3. Trigger by phrasing — every skill declares its triggering description in its frontmatter
```bash
# Example: install the HARA builder, then ask Claude
"Build a HARA for a new ECU project — Electronic Stability Control"
```
## The chain
```
Item Definition → Safety Plan → DIA
↓
HARA → FSC → TSC
↓ ↓
HW Lane SW Lane
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
HW-SR Arch HSI FMEDA SW-SR Arch FMEA HSI
↓ ↓
Safety Case (capstone)
Parallel chains:
TARA → CS Goals → CS Concept → CS Architecture → IR Plan + Secure Coding (ISO/SAE 21434)
SOTIF Analysis → Triggering Conditions → Validation Strategy (ISO 21448)
APQP Plan → DFMEA → PFMEA → Control Plan → PPAP Package (IATF 16949)
ASPICE Assessment → Gap Analysis → Improvement Plan → Process Evidence (ASPICE PAM)
```
Every box above has a builder skill AND a matching reviewer skill.

## Why
Every automotive program ships an avalanche of structured deliverables. Most teams maintain them in xlsx, painstakingly hand-edited, with low audit-trail consistency and high re-keying overhead between phases. This suite turns each phase into a builder + reviewer pair where:
- The **builder** produces the structured xlsx output from a JSON input plus the upstream artifact
- The **reviewer** runs a confirmation-measures checklist on the builder's output and produces a visual dashboard with KPIs, charts, and findings
The chain compounds because phases hand off via stable xlsx contracts. A change upstream (HARA) automatically propagates to every downstream skill that consumes it (FSC → TSC → FMEDA → Safety Case).
## Common patterns across the suite
- All builder outputs use a consistent NAVY/Calibri styling palette with ASIL/CAL color coding
- All reviewer outputs include visual dashboards (KPI tiles, pie chart, compliance bar, stacked rating breakdown by section, findings table)
- Many reviewers auto-verify quantitative thresholds:
- **FMEDA**: SPFM / LFM / PMHF vs ASIL target
- **PPAP**: Cpk vs threshold (1.33 standard, 1.67 special characteristics)
- **SW FMEA**: residual risk vs ASIL threshold
- **MSA**: Gauge R&R % vs AIAG threshold
- **SPC**: Cpk vs target
- Reviewers never modify source artifacts — gaps land in Recommended Actions
- Every builder is paired with a reviewer for confirmation-measures compliance
