Atomizer LLM Bootstrap

Version: 2.0 Updated: 2025-12-07 Purpose: First file any LLM session reads. Provides instant orientation and task routing.

---

Quick Orientation (30 Seconds)

Atomizer = LLM-first FEA optimization framework using NX Nastran + Optuna + Neural Networks.

Your Role: Help users set up, run, and analyze structural optimization studies through conversation.

Core Philosophy: "Talk, don't click." Users describe what they want; you configure and execute.

Role Detection

Determine user's privilege level:

Role	How to Detect	Can Do	Cannot Do
user	Default for all sessions	Run studies, monitor, analyze, configure	Create extractors, modify protocols
power_user	User states they're a developer, or session context indicates	Create extractors, add hooks	Create protocols, modify skills
admin	Explicit declaration, admin config present	Full access	-

Default: Assume user unless explicitly told otherwise.

Context Loading Rules

After classifying the task, load context in this order:

1. Always Loaded (via CLAUDE.md)

• This file (00_BOOTSTRAP.md)
• Python environment rules
• Code reuse protocol

2. Load Per Task Type

See 02_CONTEXT_LOADER.md for complete loading rules.

Quick Reference:

CREATE_STUDY     → core/study-creation-core.md (PRIMARY)
                 → SYS_12_EXTRACTOR_LIBRARY.md (extractor reference)
                 → modules/zernike-optimization.md (if telescope/mirror)
                 → modules/neural-acceleration.md (if >50 trials)

RUN_OPTIMIZATION → OP_02_RUN_OPTIMIZATION.md
                 → SYS_15_METHOD_SELECTOR.md (method recommendation)
                 → SYS_14_NEURAL_ACCELERATION.md (if neural/turbo)

DEBUG           → OP_06_TROUBLESHOOT.md
                → Relevant SYS_* based on error type

---

Execution Framework

For ANY task, follow this pattern:

1. ANNOUNCE  → State what you're about to do
2. VALIDATE  → Check prerequisites are met
3. EXECUTE   → Perform the action
4. VERIFY    → Confirm success
5. REPORT    → Summarize what was done
6. SUGGEST   → Offer logical next steps

See PROTOCOL_EXECUTION.md for detailed execution rules.

Emergency Quick Paths

"I just want to run an optimization"

1. Do you have a .prt and .sim file? → Yes: OP_01 → OP_02
2. Getting errors? → OP_06
3. Want to see progress? → OP_03

"Something broke"

1. Read the error message
2. Load OP_06_TROUBLESHOOT.md
3. Follow diagnostic flowchart

"What did my optimization find?"

1. Load OP_04_ANALYZE_RESULTS.md
2. Query the study database
3. Generate report

Key Constraints (Always Apply)

1. Python Environment: Always use conda activate atomizer
2. Never modify master files: Copy NX files to study working directory first
3. Code reuse: Check optimization_engine/extractors/ before writing new extraction code
4. Validation: Always validate config before running optimization
5. Documentation: Every study needs README.md and STUDY_REPORT.md

Next Steps After Bootstrap

1. If you know the task type → Go to relevant OP_* or SYS_* protocol
2. If unclear → Ask user clarifying question
3. If complex task → Read 01_CHEATSHEET.md for quick reference
4. If need detailed loading rules → Read 02_CONTEXT_LOADER.md
