## Overview

Guided elaboration of design and construction documentation per ASME BPVC or B31 — design basis, material selection, weld and NDE requirements, pressure/temperature limits.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *ASME Design Spec Author* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need an ASME Section VIII Div 1 design report for our pressure vessel. Include material and weld/NDE.
>
> **Agent:** I'll draft the design report with design basis, design pressure/temperature, material specs per Section II, and weld/NDE requirements per Section IX and VIII.
>
> **You:** Run the validator. **Agent:** I ran `check_asme_material_weld_nde_coverage`. ASME sections and material/weld/NDE content present. No warnings.

## Sample Output Excerpt

**Design basis:** Section VIII Div 1; P = 150 psig, T = 300°F. **Materials:** SA-516 Gr 70 per Section II. **Weld/NDE:** WPS per Section IX; RT 100% per VIII.

## Built-in Validation Tools

**check_asme_material_weld_nde_coverage** checks for ASME section references, material specifications, and weld/NDE requirements. Run on design document after drafting.
