Steps

  1. Read squawks.tsv at: ~/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-sritchie09@gmail.com/My Drive/N720AK/Private/Maintenance/squawks.tsv

  2. Check for related existing squawks — is this a duplicate or related to an open item?

  3. Extract or ask for these fields:

    • Date Reported: Default to today
    • Reported By: Default to Sam Ritchie
    • Tach/Hobbs: Current readings if known
    • Priority: Suggest based on severity:
      • Grounding — aircraft not airworthy until fixed
      • Before Next Flight — must resolve before flying
      • Soon — fix within next few flights
      • Routine — next maintenance opportunity
      • Monitor — watch and reassess
    • Category: Engine, Airframe, Propeller, Avionics, Electrical, Fuel
    • Discrepancy: Clear description of what's wrong
    • Status: Default to "Open"
  4. Append a new TSV row to squawks.tsv

  5. Suggest next steps based on the category and severity:

    • Grounding items: "This grounds the aircraft. What's your plan to address it?"
    • Engine items: Check if related to known issues in sys-28-fuel-system.md or sys-71-engine.md
    • Electrical items: Check sys-24-electrical.md for relevant system info
    • Suggest relevant sys-*.md pages that might have troubleshooting info
  6. If the user is CLEARING a squawk (reporting a fix), update the existing row:

    • Set Status to "Cleared"
    • Fill in Corrective Action, Cleared By, Date Cleared
    • Also create a maintenance log entry via the maintenance-log workflow
