makerlog-agent

Agent framework for makerlog.ai — project tracking, tools inventory, and build logs for makerspaces and hardware hackers.

Features

• Project Management — Track projects from idea to completion with status, budget, and tags
• Build Logs — Document every step with materials, tools, problems, and solutions
• Tools Inventory — Manage workshop equipment with condition tracking and maintenance alerts
• Budget Tracking — Estimated vs actual cost tracking
• Export/Import — JSON serialization for backup

Installation

pip install makerlog-agent

    budget=45.0,
    tools_required=["Soldering Iron", "ESP32 Dev Board", "PLA Filament"],
    materials=["WS2812B LEDs", "ESP32", "Power supply"],
)

# Log build steps
agent.add_build_log(
    "LED Matrix Display",
    title="Solder LED matrix",
    description="Soldered 256 WS2812B LEDs in a 16x16 grid.",

    solutions="Checked orientation before soldering each row.",
)

# Get tools needing maintenance
