Mechanic Quote Decoder

Q: How do I know the Mechanic Quote Decoder output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every line lands in exactly one bin with reasoning tied to the; stated symptom; The safety-critical-today question appears verbatim in the; callback script.

🔵 Stable 🔷 SkillSpec L3 other

Read a garage quote or invoice like someone who can't be padded — which line items connect to your actual symptom, which are while-we're-in-there additions, the questions that make soft lines disappear, when a second opinion pays for itself, and the scripts for declining work without souring the relationship. Use when someone says 'is this mechanic quote fair', 'the garage called and now it's £900', 'do I really need all this', or before authorizing repairs. Produces a line-by-line decode, the callback questions, and the authorize/decline/second-opinion sort. Not a diagnosis — it's the interrogation of one.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every line lands in exactly one bin with reasoning tied to the

✓stated symptom

✓The safety-critical-today question appears verbatim in the

✓callback script

✓Deferrals come with a rebooking line — declining maintenance

✓forever is its own future 🔴, and the decode says so

✓No local prices, book-times, or part costs asserted — money

✓checks are framed as questions

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not diagnose the car — the skill interrogates the quote, and

says so when asked to do more

Do not script accusations — every line is deliverable to a

mechanic you'll see again

Do not dismiss discovered work as scam by default; the lift
