  "Download the pack and add it to your AI as a skill. If you cannot, paste SKILL.md, then references/source-agent.md, then your brief into a new chat. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all work.",
  "Paste the vehicle or station, the user's tasks and your headset first. Say if users sit or stand.",
  "Say \"Plan the cockpit. Mark any distance or comfort figure you cannot source.\" Answer its one round of questions.",
  "Read the control list and layout plan. Move any control you use often into the nearest zone.",
  "Build a rough version in your tool. Ask the AI for an A-Frame or Three.js sketch if you want one, and test it yourself.",
  "Run the test plan with real users on the headset. Let each tester stop at any time, since headsets can cause dizziness. Paste their results back for a revised layout."

 "checks": [
  "The result addresses your actual task and cites the evidence used.",
  "Examples, role-play experience and targets are kept separate from verified results.",
  "Claims of tests, memory, tool access or completed actions match what actually happened."
