# Knitwear Care Session is your maintenance planner. AI Agent Connect

> Knitwear Care Session acts as a specialized planning engine for your knitwear collection. It takes care label instructions, physical constraints, and your specific garment conditions to build exact maintenance workflows. Your AI client uses this to prevent stretching, deformation, and improper storage through targeted, actionable steps.

## Description

You shouldn't have to guess how to wash a delicate cashmere sweater or where to dry a heavy wool cardigan. This MCP handles the technical details of textile maintenance so you don't have to. It looks at the specific material, the current state of the garment, and what you actually have on hand to build a plan that works. 

Instead of generic advice, you get workflows tailored to your specific environment. If you're worried about a sweater stretching, the MCP evaluates your drying setup. If you're unsure if your detergent is safe, it checks your equipment against the care requirements. It covers everything from the initial wash to the final storage decision, ensuring your knitwear stays in shape for years. You can use it to manage a single item or plan a full maintenance session for an entire seasonal collection.

## Tools

### check_storage_feasibility
This tool evaluates if your planned storage method actually works for the specific garment type and your available space.

### get_care_plan
This tool generates a complete, itemized care session for a collection of knitwear items.

### select_optimal_drying_surface
This tool determines the best physical location to dry a garment based on its current shape and your environment.

### validate_tool_compatibility
This tool checks if the equipment you have on hand is sufficient to follow a specific cleaning instruction.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a wool sweater that is stretching. I have a flat drying rack and wool detergent. Can you make a care plan?
```

**Response:** 
```
1. Preparation: Inspect for loose threads. 2. Cleaning: Hand-wash using your wool detergent. 3. Reshaping: Gently reshape the sweater while damp. 4. Drying: Lay flat on your drying rack. 5. Storage: Fold and place in a drawer.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Do I have the right tools to clean this item with a delicate cycle?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required tools are a washing machine with a delicate cycle and wool detergent. Since you have both, your equipment is compatible.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it okay to hang my heavy knit cardigan in my closet?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, heavy knit items should not be hung as they can stretch. It is better to store this cardigan folded in a drawer.
```
