About

The Robotics Skills Suite is a curated set of 38 builder + 38 matching reviewer skills that automate every structured xlsx deliverable in the modern industrial-robotics lifecycle — from ISO 12100 risk assessment through ISO 13849-1 PLr / IEC 62061 SIL determination, ISO 10218-2:2025 / ANSI R15.06 compliance matrices, ISO/TS 15066 cobot biomechanics, ISO 3691-4 AMR risk, OSHA 1910.147 LOTO, ROS2 architecture artifacts, ISO 9283 performance verification, FAT/SAT acceptance protocols, AI/ML governance (datasheets, model cards), and IEC 62443 industrial cybersecurity.

Every builder produces a multi-tab audit-ready xlsx workbook. Every reviewer produces a confirmation-measures checklist over that workbook with a visual dashboard. Skills hand off via stable xlsx contracts — change a number in the upstream Risk Assessment and every downstream skill in the chain (PLr → Compliance Matrix → Declaration of Conformity) consumes the new value automatically.

This is the natural counterpart to the automotive-skills-suite (152 skills, ISO 26262 / ISO/SAE 21434 / IATF 16949 / ASPICE / AUTOSAR / V&V). Together they cover the two largest standards-driven engineering verticals.

Who this is for

  • Robot integrators producing ISO 10218-2 / ANSI R15.06 compliance documentation for every cell delivery
  • OEM machine builders generating CE marking / ANSI safety files at scale
  • Cobot deployers running ISO/TS 15066 biomechanical validation, SSM, and PFL plans
  • AMR / AGV operators executing ISO 3691-4 risk assessments and fleet manager architectures
  • ROS2 development teams producing system architecture, URDF, behavior tree, Nav2, and TF spec documents
  • OT cybersecurity teams running IEC 62443-3-2 risk assessments and zone & conduit segmentation
  • AI/ML in robotics teams producing datasheets for datasets, model cards, and perception test catalogs
Ten skill clusters — 38 builder + reviewer pairs

Robot types covered

Robot types covered by the suite

The suite covers six classes of robots — 6-axis industrial arms, collaborative robots, SCARA, driverless industrial trucks, autonomous mobile robots, plus Cartesian gantries and a placeholder lane for UAS that ships in v2. Each class maps to a specific cluster of skills.

Safety mechanisms covered

Safety mechanisms covered by the suite

The six core safeguarding patterns every integrator needs to document — Speed and Separation Monitoring, Power and Force Limiting, E-stop and dual-channel safety architecture, light curtains and presence sensing, lockout/tagout, and IEC 62443 zone & conduit segmentation. Each is the subject of a builder + reviewer pair (most have several).


What this is

A curated set of 38 builder skills + 38 matching confirmation reviewer skills that automate the structured xlsx deliverables required across industrial robotics and AMR engineering:

  • Machinery safety (ISO 12100 risk → ISO 13849-1 PLr / IEC 62061 SIL → compliance matrix → DoC)
  • Industrial + collaborative robots (ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, ISO/TS 15066 cobot biomechanics, SSM, PFL, hand-guiding)
  • Autonomous mobile robots (ISO 3691-4, ANSI/RIA R15.08, fleet manager architecture, wireless coexistence)
  • Cell design (cell layout, EOAT, safety I/O matrix, E-stop architecture)
  • Operations (SOP, LOTO per OSHA 1910.147, operator training matrix)
  • ROS2 software architecture (system architecture, URDF, behavior trees, Nav2, TF tree)
  • V&V (ISO 9283 performance, FAT/SAT acceptance, HIL test catalog, field acceptance)
  • AI/ML governance (datasheets for datasets, model cards, perception test catalog)
  • Industrial cybersecurity (IEC 62443 risk assessment, OT asset inventory, zone & conduit plan)

Each skill is an installable .skill file. Like the automotive suite, the chain is the moat — every downstream skill consumes the upstream skill's xlsx output as a stable file-format contract.

Quickstart

  1. Download a .skill file from skills/ (or grab robotics-skills-suite-bundle-76.zip for all 76)
  2. Click "Save skill" in Cowork / Claude Desktop to install
  3. Trigger by phrasing — every skill declares its triggering description in its frontmatter
Example: install ISO 12100 risk assessment, then ask Claude
"Run an ISO 12100 risk assessment on a new cobot palletizing cell"

Why

Every robot integration project ships an avalanche of structured deliverables — most teams maintain them in xlsx, painstakingly hand-edited, with low audit-trail consistency. This suite turns each phase into a builder + reviewer pair where:

  • The builder produces the structured xlsx output from a JSON input plus the upstream artifact
  • The reviewer runs a confirmation-measures checklist on the builder's output and produces a visual dashboard with KPIs, charts, and findings

The chain compounds because phases hand off via stable xlsx contracts. A change upstream (Risk Assessment) automatically propagates to every downstream skill that consumes it (PLr → Compliance Matrix → DoC).

Common patterns across the suite

  • All builder outputs use NAVY/Calibri styling with PLr/SIL color coding
  • All reviewer outputs include visual dashboards (KPI tiles, pie chart, compliance bar, stacked rating breakdown by section, findings table)
  • Reviewers never modify source artifacts — gaps land in Recommended Actions
  • Every builder is paired with a reviewer for confirmation-measures compliance
