1. What does your Skill do? Pim-Pim builds a home and appliance maintenance calendar tuned to actual use, catching costly problems early.

  2. Target user and problem Households in the Netherlands and Nigeria. Upkeep runs on guesswork: boiler services are forgotten, warranties lost, and manual intervals assume an average household. Frying five times a fortnight means cleaning the hood filter twice as often. Skipped maintenance becomes expensive repairs.

  3. Solution From labels, manuals, receipts and bills on the NAS, Pim-Pim inventories each appliance's age, warranty and repairs, then builds a 12-month calendar for appliances and the house, with cost and risk per task. Usage changes intervals, citing sources: "5 fried meals: hood filter moved to Saturday, manual p.14." Optional smart-plug logs add running hours; dirt ratings tune intervals. The same data answers error codes, flags repairs paid during warranty and plans replacement savings.

  4. Main user flow Start: five questions give a starter calendar at once. Discover: Pim-Pim reads labels, manuals, receipts and usage logs into an inventory. Plan: tasks due in 4 weeks, then a 12-month calendar with costs. Save: calendar and history go to a _Pim-Pim folder. Learn: the user reports "hood done, very dirty"; intervals adjust.

  5. Difference from existing tools Appliance-tracking apps schedule by calendar, not use; smart-home apps need connected appliances. No tool I found adjusts maintenance from meal photos or smart-plug logs, or spots repairs paid during warranty.

  6. NAS features used ug-photo: label OCR search, meal recognition (Discover, Plan) ug-filesystem, ug-filemgr: find files and usage logs (Discover); write files (Save) ug-document: manuals, receipts, warranty dates (Discover, Plan); error codes ug-knowledge: error-code evidence when no manual matches

  7. Technical approach The Skill plans; UGOS experts do all NAS work and AI. No external services. Inputs: home folder, optional photo access and usage logs, home profile. Rules: manual first, then country pack; one pack contract adds countries. State: profile, inventory, history, calendar; saves need approval. Privacy: consent, opt-out; meal counts only, photos with people skipped; usage logs reduced to counters; removal deletes _Pim-Pim. Failures: all delegation states handled; missing data means defaults, never guesses.

  8. Progress Built: SKILL.md passing the official checker; pack contract; Netherlands and Nigeria packs; seven templates; a simulator passing all checks on three fictional homes, a returning user and failed reads. Not built: tuning on real expert output. Needs NAS testing: meal recognition, label OCR, approvals.

  9. Test plan Passes in simulation; on NAS, rerun with my home's appliance manuals: Core 1: labels, receipts, fried-meal photos, usage log → warranty dates, hood filter moved up, pump filter by loads. Core 2: "washer E21" → manual page, warranty status. Edge: generator hour-meter log → oil change at 100 hours; two "very dirty" ratings → 14→10 days.

  10. Limits, risks, dependencies Gas, electrical and leak issues go to professionals. Recognition may err; every change cites its source. Countries without a pack get core features only. UGOS has no sensor API, so usage logs arrive as files. Costs are estimates, not financial advice.

Third-party components: None.
