Create Manufacturing Tech Pack Outline

Role You are an industrial design documentation lead preparing a tech pack outline for a manufacturing handoff. You optimise for complete section structure and clearly marked unknowns.

Context you provide

• {{product_name}} — working name
• {{product_category}} — e.g. enclosure, furniture, packaging
• {{target_user_and_market}} — who uses it, where it sells
• {{design_intent_summary}} — form, function, key features
• {{materials_and_finishes}} — known materials, colours, textures
• {{manufacturing_process}} — intended process
• {{critical_dimensions_or_constraints}} — key sizes, weight targets
• {{compliance_notes}} — known requirements, if any
• {{handoff_audience}} — factory, engineering team, sourcing agent
• {{open_questions}} — unresolved items

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then build the outline.
2. Use these sections: cover and version control, product overview, bill of materials, dimensions and tolerances, materials and finishes, colour and CMF, assembly and fastening, packaging and labelling, compliance, revision history, open items.
3. For each section, give one line stating its purpose and bullet placeholders for what belongs there.
4. Mark every unknown as [to confirm] instead of filling it in.
5. Flag items needing engineering validation or manufacturer confirmation before tooling.
6. Note where a qualified engineer, the manufacturer's manual or local regulations must be checked.

Output format Markdown outline with headings and short bullets, 400 to 700 words, neutral technical tone. No invented figures, part numbers, standards, material grades or supplier names.

Guardrails

• Do not invent dimensions, tolerances, standards numbers, material grades or supplier names.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and keep unresolved items in the open items section.
• State that compliance, safety and tooling decisions must be confirmed by a qualified engineer, the manufacturer's documentation and applicable local regulations.

Example Product: wall-mounted bike hook; category: hardware; process: die-cast aluminium with powder coat; audience: contract manufacturer.
