## What it does

Give Norma the selected products, their order and the required package format. Norma uses the product-sheet method for each item and checks the assembled package against the full requested scope.

## Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

```text
Use Arch Studio to create a combined PDF specification book for CH-01, CH-02 and TB-01 in that order. Use the reviewed item revisions and template. Check that all three sheets are present, legible and current.
```

### Individual and combined sheets

### Completeness checks

Norma checks every expected item and flags missing or stale sheets rather than claiming a complete package.

## Workflow
