 "title": "Ask the car about a warning light with no internet",
 "page_title": "How to ask the car about a warning light with no internet with Car Watch",
 "summary": "Ask the car by voice what a warning light means; it answers from its own owner's manual.",
 "who": "A driver with a Car Watch Pi in the car who sees the yellow tyre light while driving and has no phone signal.",
 "problem": "Warning lights are hard to decode mid-drive, and the owner's manual runs to 489 pages.",
 "outcome": "A spoken answer with a manual page citation and live tyre pressures, produced with the internet switched off.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repo onto the Raspberry Pi 5 with `git clone https://github.com/ThinkOffApp/CarWatch`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Reboot the Pi so the systemd services self-start the model server, room agent and voice listener. (inferred, check the README)",
  "In the driver's seat, ask the question out loud, for example 'What does the yellow tyre light mean?'.",
  "Listen for the answer from the car's speakers and check that it names a manual page.",
  "Ask about something the manual does not cover and confirm the car refuses to guess."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the CarWatch repo at https://github.com/ThinkOffApp/CarWatch on <pi-host>, send the room agent the question 'What does the yellow tyre light mean?' and return the answer text with its page citation. Verify that the answer cites a manual page and that the test ran with no internet connection.",
 "agents": [

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "4 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README's measured speeds apply to a Pi 5 16 GB running one 14.3 GB quant, and a model that size takes about three minutes to load from microSD.",

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB RAM, as used for the measured numbers in the README",
  "A microSD card with the car's owner's manual index and the local model files",
  "A GroupMind room account for the car's agent, if you want room posts",
  "Access to the car's own speakers and microphone for hands-free voice",
  "Python 3 on the Pi, since the repo is Python with no pip dependencies"
