Work Order Preparation

Use this skill when the technician wants to prepare for a work order — checking that all required parts are available before heading to the job site.

When to Use

• "What do I need for WO-007?"
• "Check parts for WO-003"
• "Am I ready for my next job?"
• "Prepare for WO-010"
• "Are the parts available for WO-007?"

Tools Used by This Skill

This skill uses two capabilities from the Foundry Toolbox:

Capability	Prefixed tool name
Get the work order	work_orders___get_work_order_work_orders__work_order_id__get
Check stock for the parts list	inventory___check_stock_batch

Step 0: Discover tools (REQUIRED before first call this turn)

If either tool isn't already visible in your tool list, run one combined tool_search with limit: 10:

tool_search({"query": "work order parts stock inventory", "limit": 10})

Never run two separate searches — one combined query with limit: 10 returns all needed tools, and they stay callable for the rest of the turn.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Fetch the Work Order

Call work_orders___get_work_order_work_orders__work_order_id__get via call_tool with {"work_order_id": "WO-XXX"}.

Extract the parts_needed list — each entry has a part_id and quantity.

If the work order has no parts_needed, skip to Step 3 and note that no parts are listed for this WO.

Step 2: Check Stock for All Parts

Call inventory___check_stock_batch via call_tool with {"part_ids": [<all part_ids>]} in a single call. This returns stock status for every part at once — do NOT call check_stock individually.

Compare the required quantity against the available stock for each part.

Classify each part:

• ✅ Ready — stock ≥ required quantity
• ⚠️ Partial — some stock available but less than required
• ❌ Unavailable — out of stock

Step 3: Present the Preparation Checklist

CRITICAL: You MUST use this exact structure with headers and a table. Never output a plain paragraph. This is a multi-source response that combines work order data and inventory data — use visual separators between sections.
