description: Turn a product cut sheet into a properly structured specification clause. Use when you have a selected product and need it written up in specification form.

# Spec Section

## What it does
Reads a manufacturer's cut sheet or product data and drafts a structured specification clause: scope, standards, products, execution, in the format your office spec uses.

## When to use
- Documentation stage, writing or updating the specification.
- Any time a selected product needs turning into a proper clause.

## Instructions
1. Ask which spec format the office uses (e.g. NATSPEC-style, master format, or the practice template) and match it.
2. Draft the clause: general (scope, references, submittals), products (the selected item, options, substitutions), execution (installation, tolerances, testing).
3. Pull performance data straight from the cut sheet; do not invent figures. Flag anything the sheet does not state.
4. Mark where the user must confirm project-specific requirements.

## Output format
A specification clause in the office format, with unknown or unstated values clearly flagged for the user to complete.

## The one mistake to avoid
Inventing performance numbers the cut sheet does not give. If it is not on the sheet, flag it, do not fill it.
