Collision Engineers house style and branded document generation. Use whenever a CE output needs the house visual layout, the house writing tone, or a branded document built. Modes: document-builder generates branded DOCX and PDF (letters, reports, fee notes, certificates) from a JSON spec via a self-contained ReportLab/python-docx engine with no external service; visual-layout for logo, typography, page headers/footers, brand red, and templates; writing-tone for the plain independent-engineer register, dispute/TPI wording, and anti-AI phrasing checks. Use this skill whenever you draft, brand, or format any CE client, court, insurer, valuation, repair, rebuttal, roadworthy, fee-note or invoice document, even if "house style" is not mentioned. Consumed by vehicle-valuation, damage-estimating, rebuttal, roadworthy, finance-document, and invoice drafts.

Shared reference for current UK collision-repair charges from the ABP Club rate book (2026 edition). Use whenever a skill needs labour rates, the repair-plan fee, ADAS calibration charges, EV/hybrid handling, alloy/alignment/air-con/recovery/storage specialist charges, paint-protection or mobility charges, or the regional uplift - to build or challenge a repair estimate, total-loss assessment, finance document, or diminution rebuttal. Consumed by damage-estimating, rebuttal, roadworthy, and finance-document. Reference data, not an output-producing skill.

Use for UK collision damage estimating work: standalone repair estimates, EVA/Audatex total-loss damage assessments, AZT paint costing, ABP charge review, and estimate challenge support. Modes: repair-estimate, eva-total-loss, paint-costing, charge-review. Expert modes produce AI-assisted drafts until named-human sign-off; paint and charge-review modes are assistive inputs.

Use to draft Collision Engineers finance documents: fee-note, standard-audatex-invoice, website-invoice, and invoice-email-draft. Produces document drafts only; billing workflow, ledger, payment status, approvals, and chasing remain owned by finance/business. Human review required before send.

Shared reference library of vehicle-manufacturer (OEM) repair position statements - wheel and tyre reconditioning prohibitions, genuine-parts policies, and authoritative repair-procedure sources (erWin, ElsaPro, VIDA). Use whenever a repair estimate, total-loss assessment, or roadworthy certificate must respect an OEM constraint, e.g. confirming a damaged alloy must be replaced (not refurbished) or that only genuine parts are approved. Consumed by roadworthy and damage-estimating. Reference data, not an output-producing skill.

Use when drafting a Collision Engineers rebuttal to a diminution-in-value claim (e.g. an EVA / Exclusive Vehicle Assessors diminution report) for an instructing solicitor. Produces a CPR Part 35-style rebuttal report in CE house style. Triggers on "diminution", "rebuttal", "diminution in value", "EVA diminution".

Use when generating an HS (Hackney Solutions) roadworthy certificate from an engineer's accident-damage report (PDF or docx). Extracts the required fields from the report and fills the roadworthy docx template. Triggers on "roadworthy", "roadworthy certificate", "HS roadworthy", "taxi / private-hire roadworthy".

Determine the ABI salvage category (A / B / S / N) for a damaged vehicle using the ABI Code of Practice, with a reasoned justification and the regulatory notification obligations (MIAFTR, V5C/DVLA, Certificate of Destruction). Use when assessing whether a vehicle is scrap, break, repairable-structural, or repairable-non-structural, including EV high-voltage battery cases and water/fire damage. Expert class - the output is an AI-assisted draft until a named, appropriately qualified person signs off.

Use when a UK motor claim needs a pre-accident vehicle valuation, market advert evidence pack, guide-value challenge, valuation explanation, dispute response, import/no-guide valuation, Autotrader comparable research, or internal EVA/guide screenshot interpretation.

Shared reference giving the Collision Engineers domain vocabulary and Audatex/ABP industry context - claims, repair, salvage, valuation and Audatex/Qapter/cap-hpi/BS-10125/CPR-Part-35 terminology. Use whenever a document-producing skill needs the correct term, abbreviation, or industry-context definition so outputs read with the right vocabulary. Consumed by all document skills. Reference data, not an output-producing skill.
