| description | Write a TRCL Antiques Inference Engine field-guide page from frozen artifact and math data. Use when turning artifact observations plus computed power or compute math into the final article page. Enforces a fixed section template and house voice. Triggers: field-guide page, Can it Run AI article, TRCL voice, antique writeup, potato verdict. |

This skill is the frozen-math → report contract: it turns a frozen MathResult (plus the observation, research, and QC result) into the TRCL field-guide page, in house voice. It owns the words; it never touches the numbers — every figure is copied, or rounded within 1%, from the frozen JSON.
Fill assets/article_template.md (the section-by-section page template) in the voice of references/voice_guide.md. Copy every number from the frozen math; render the -1.0 sentinel as "Never (infinity)"; keep prose within 1% of the JSON.
You own the edge, not the arithmetic. When the math arrives as mode: absurd_power — a non-antique the engine burned for an absurd-but-real wattage (a 35 g rubber duck → 17,500 W → 175M potatoes) — the verdict's tone is yours: "This is not an antique. The calculator has spoken anyway." → "Yes — if you're prepared to commit arson on a bath toy." The joke is the writer's; the 17,500 W is Python's. Never soften or recompute the number to fit the bit.
Defaults
- Fill every required section.
- Preserve uncertainty from the source JSON.
- Keep humor downstream of true mechanism and frozen math.
- Treat "AI Hello" as a playful demo target, not a formal benchmark.
Workflow
- Read the artifact observation, research notes, frozen math JSON, and QC result.
- Write a compact field-guide page using the required sections below.
- Do not change calculator numbers.
- If a claim is unsupported, move it to caveats or limitations.
- Include one memorable line, but do not let the joke distort the mechanism.
Required Sections
- Title
- Subtitle
- Era Badge
- Artifact Guess
- Confidence
- What it actually did
- How we bully it into powering AI
- Can it Run AI?
- With what
- Output
- Unit
- Watts/Compute
- Math
- Potato Equivalent
- Cyclist Equivalent
- Historical note
- Gotcha
- Illustration prompt
Gotchas
- Do not restate math differently from
math.json.
- Do not imply a formal appraisal.
- Do not claim an object literally runs AI when the math only supports a toy comparison.
- Cite assumption confidence when watts or ops/sec are estimated.
