## Overview

Guided elaboration of material specifications and test/acceptance documentation that reference ASTM standards — material designation, test methods, acceptance criteria, and COC requirements.

## Getting Started

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

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need a material spec sheet referencing ASTM A36 and A992 with test methods and acceptance criteria.
>
> **Agent:** I'll draft the spec sheet with ASTM designation, grade, test methods (e.g. E8), and acceptance limits per property.
>
> **You:** Run the validator. **Agent:** I ran `check_astm_reference_validity`. ASTM references and acceptance content present. No warnings.

## Sample Output Excerpt

**Material:** ASTM A36. **Test methods:** E8 (tensile). **Acceptance:** Yield min 250 MPa; tensile min 400 MPa.

## Built-in Validation Tools

**check_astm_reference_validity** checks for ASTM references and test method/acceptance criteria. Run on material spec or test plan after drafting.
