New feature built with help from ChatGPT Sol and Onshape MCP.

Description: Use the standard End cap workflow with manual face selection, or automatically discover and cap every unobstructed open end of hollow Frame members.

Prerequisites: Frame members. Automatic selection requires hollow profiles and intentionally ignores solid bar stock.

Notes:

  1. Leave Select all open frames off for built-in-style manual selection; enable it for automatic discovery and optional exclusions.
  2. Accurate is recommended for off-center obstructions; Quick is faster but only samples the center ray.

    This looks really good Simon. I'm trying to find a github repository for your development cycles, are you using github? I need to incorporate that staging into my AI structure. Also, does AI use your tests cases to validate release candidates?

    How structured is your AI feature script process?

    I've asked AI how to structure feature script coding and it's come up with some meaningful agents and other structural details that I find useful. Asking AI how to prompt is probably the best way to create meaningful prompts.

    Thanks for the prompt lesson. I guess I'm not ready to have such a detailed discussion about feature scripting with an AI agent. You get very specific with exact instructions to solve issues. I was wondering how to interact with the AI agent and now I can see how specific I have to become.
