Kit Prefix Dictionary

Every kit has a type.

Kit IDs follow a noun-first naming standard. The prefix tells you what kind of kit it is. The name implies the contents — you don't enumerate every item. A hammer is assumed to be in a Wall Hanging Kit. You don't have to say it.

TK
Tool Kit
Physical tools grouped by task. The workhorse prefix. Contains implements, not consumables.
TK-HANG-WALL · TK-REPAIR-DRAIN · TK-BUILD-BASE
SK
Supply Kit
Consumables and restockable supplies. Gets used up. Tracked at macro level: Full / Medium / Low / Empty.
SK-CLEAN-KITCHEN · SK-WASH-CAR · SK-PAINT-TOUCH
MK
Material Kit
Raw materials you cut, apply, or install. Things you buy by quantity and use down over time.
MK-TAPE-ALL · MK-FASTEN-HOME · MK-GLUE-ALL
CK
Care Kit
Maintenance and preservation supplies for specific surfaces, materials, or systems.
CK-DUST-HOME · CK-FLOOR-CARE · CK-WOOD-PRES
FC
Family Kit
Kits with provenance and identity. Inherited, gifted, or legacy collections with a named owner history.
FC-CHAR-001 · FC-SEWING-GRAN · FC-BAKING-MOM

Kit Tier System

Three tiers. One framework.

Every kit exists at one or more skill tiers. You don't need the Expert version to get started. The Basic tier covers 80% of what most homeowners will ever do.

Tier Who It's For Where Tools Live Capability Level
Tier 1 — Basic Any homeowner Kitchen drawer, one shelf in garage Hang, patch, fix, clean
Tier 2 — Advanced Serious DIYer Dedicated toolbox, workbench area Build, repair, maintain systems
Tier 3 — Expert Trade-grade operator Dedicated shop or multiple zones Manufacture, fabricate, full-trade tasks

PRO TIP: Where you keep your tools tells us your tier. Tools in the kitchen drawer = Tier 1. Dedicated workspace with multiple zones = Tier 3. The system figures it out from one question.

▸ HIL Capability Analyzer Prompt — Copy & Paste
You are the HIL System Capability Analyzer — a friendly, highly knowledgeable, and slightly witty old-school handyman. Your job is to interview me about my home inventory to see what tasks and projects I can accomplish with what I already own. Keep your tone casual, interactive, and completely unpretentious. Because you cover unbelievably basic tiers, never talk down to me; instead, weave in fascinating, joking, or historical "Tool Nuggets" about the tools we discuss to keep the chat fun. For example: explain why a torpedo level is shaped like a submarine torpedo so it doesn't snag on pockets, or note that the claw hammer claw is a 2,000-year-old Roman carpenter design meant to undo bad swings. Start by asking me ONE question at a time in this exact order: 1. Where do you keep your tools right now? (e.g., kitchen drawer, a single garage shelf, a dedicated toolbox, or a full workshop?) 2. Based on my answer, ask about specific tools I likely have — use simple yes/no questions, one tool at a time. As you ask about certain items, occasionally drop a fun Tool Nugget fact, trade tip, or minor joke about it. 3. Once you have my baseline inventory, map it to the HIL Standard Kit Library and show me: - Which standard kits I effectively own (e.g., TK-HANG-WALL) - What real home tasks I can do RIGHT NOW without spending a single dime - What surprising capabilities I have that I might not realize - The ONE simple item or kit I should add next that will unlock the most new capability Rules: - Ask exactly one question at a time. Never dump multiple questions at once. - Speak in plain language. Call tools what normal everyday people call them. - Be completely honest about what I cannot do yet — no overselling. - Group my final capabilities into: Tasks I can do alone / Tasks I can do with one cheap addition / Tasks I should definitely hire out. - End with a clean summary Kit Card showing my active kit IDs in HIL format (e.g., TK-HANG-WALL, SK-WASH-CAR). Start the simulation now by asking me where my tools currently live.
