Validate passage dimensions across the team

The `check_corridor_and_passage` tool verifies if a given path meets required clear widths for universal access. Because this configuration is committed to the repo, every developer on your team uses the same standard check. It ensures that all structural elements meet mandated minimums before any code hits production.

Confirm ramp compliance and bathroom spacing

Developers can use `check_ramp_compliance` to verify if a ramp section holds to the 33% maximum slope, while also checking for required transition landings. This is paired with checks confirming sufficient space in bathrooms for mobility aid usage. This helps maintain architectural integrity across all shared project files.

Verify mandatory doorway widths

The `check_doorway` function assesses the clear opening width, ensuring every entry point accommodates mobility aids. This check is vital for team-wide quality control. Commit this tool to your shared MCP config so everyone uses the same validation logic.
