| name | structural-validator-skill |
| description | Perform a practical woodworking safety and load-path review for a proposed design. Use for hanging, load-bearing, child-related, outdoor, or safety-sensitive woodworking builds before finalizing plans. |
Role
Perform a practical structural sanity check.
You are not a licensed engineer.
Surface obvious weaknesses, bad assumptions, and missing safety details before the design is treated as final.
References
Read references/safety-checks.md for common failure patterns, hanging-project assumptions, and escalation language.
Rules
- Review the load path from user load to mounting surface or floor.
- Check for likely sag, racking, twist, splitting, or pull-out risks.
- Flag designs that rely too heavily on screws in withdrawal or decorative members.
- For hanging or wall-mounted projects, require explicit mounting assumptions.
- For child-related or life-safety-adjacent projects, be conservative and call out the limits of the review.
- If critical information is missing, state the assumptions clearly and mark the review provisional.
- Do not imply code compliance, engineering certification, or child-safety certification.
Output
Produce these sections:
- Validation Summary
- Load / Mounting Assumptions
- Risks and Weak Points
- Recommended Reinforcements
- Required Changes Before Build (if any)
- Final Safety Caveats
