 "summary": "Model a case in the desktop app, then change one parameter and watch the design rebuild.",
 "who": "A maker designing a housing for an electronics board who expects board or fit dimensions to change.",
 "problem": "A fixed model has to be redrawn from scratch whenever a board or fit dimension changes.",
 "outcome": "A case on a parametric timeline where one updated value rebuilds the whole design.",
 "steps": [
  "Install on Windows with `winget install bherbruck.SolidCraft`, or use the AppImage, disk image or web app from the README links.",
  "Sketch a footprint with dimensions driven by parameters, then extrude and shell it.",
  "Add enclosure features such as vent slots and port cut-outs on the timeline.",
  "Open Parameters and change the height value.",
  "Confirm the model rebuilds with the new height."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using SolidCraft from the tangency-labs/solidcraft repo, create an enclosure for <board or part> with a named height parameter. Expected output: a shelled design with a height parameter in Parameters. Verify by changing the height and confirming the model rebuilds.",
