Instant Room Sizing

Instruct Cline to trigger `get_base_area_by_function` to fetch the mandatory minimum dimensions for specific room types. The agent queries the MCP with your requested environment function. It receives the exact usable square footage needed. Cline takes this raw data and writes it directly into your JSON configuration files or markdown documentation. You never have to manually search building code tables again.

Programmatic Needs in VS Code

Hand your raw environment list to `calculate_programmatic_needs` and let the agent sum up the entire building program. The MCP processes the array of rooms and returns the combined net area. Because Cline executes end-to-end tasks, it uses this total to scaffold out your project feasibility report. The agent drafts the document, inserts the calculated totals, and saves the file to your workspace.

Structural Math in Cline

The agent uses `adjust_area_for_structure` to convert net usable area into gross building area. It evaluates your structural complexity input and applies the necessary overhead factors for columns and core walls. Vinkius enforces 34 strict security rules on every request. Your agent receives a signed SHA-256 hash chain confirming the exact mathematical adjustment applied to your structural data.
