Choosing a Path

Choose a Path

Use this page when you know the work you need to support but are unsure which part of AgentManufacturing to open first.

Pick the smallest useful package

Package	Use it when	What it gives you
Atomic skill	You need one bounded method, such as takt-time calculation or a DFM review	A focused workflow with inputs, steps, outputs, and review boundaries
Professional skillset	A role needs a repeatable group of related workflows	A curated composition for one professional role
Jurisdiction overlay	Canadian law, standards, or regulatory context affects the work	Jurisdiction-specific constraints kept separate from generic methods
Sector specialization	The work concerns a named manufacturing sector	Sector requirements and source expectations
Validation package	You are changing, publishing, or relying on the repository	Structural checks, routing scenarios, and release-readiness evidence

Common combinations

• General manufacturing review: choose an atomic skill, then confirm evidence and qualified-review requirements.
• Canadian regulated work: choose the atomic skill, add the relevant jurisdiction and safety overlay, and verify current sources.
• Role-based delivery: start with Professional Skillsets, then follow its linked atomic workflows.
• Sector-specific work: use Sector Specializations to identify added requirements before selecting a skill.
• Repository change: read Contributing and Maintenance, update the relevant package metadata, and run the full validator.

What a path does not do

Path selection does not prove applicability, create an approval, or replace engineering, safety, legal, or other qualified review. Role resolution lists references; it does not execute them.
