# Maritime Report Generator

> Turns inspection photos and vessel data into polished, self-contained maritime HTML reports — VIR, Owner's Report, Incident Investigation, Dry Dock.

## What it does

The **Maritime Report Generator** takes a folder of inspection photos plus structured vessel data and produces a finished HTML report. It runs the [Image Analysis](/skills/image-analysis) skill over the photos, maps each photo to the right section of the chosen report template, fills in vessel details, and outputs a single self-contained file ready to send.

## Report types

* **Vessel Inspection Report (VIR)** — TSI-format inspection covering hull, machinery, accommodation, safety
* **Owner's Report** — owner-facing condition summary
* **Incident Investigation Report** — root-cause analysis with timeline, evidence, and corrective actions
* **Dry Dock Report** — pre/post dry-dock condition with work-list verification

## When to use it

* "Generate vessel inspection report"
* "Create VIR"
* "Owner's report for AQUILA"
* "Incident investigation report"
* "Dry dock report"
* "Inspection report from these photos"

## How it works

1. **Identify report type and vessel data** — confirms the report template and gathers vessel details (name, IMO, dates, location).
2. **Analyse photos** — calls the image-analysis skill in vessel mode to classify equipment, rate condition, detect defects.
3. **Map photos to sections** — matches each analysed photo to the relevant report section (engine room, deck, cargo, accommodation, safety, etc.) based on equipment type.
4. **Fill the template** — writes the report HTML with vessel data, photos, captions, condition summaries, and any flagged findings.
5. **Present draft** — delivers a self-contained HTML file the user can review, iterate on, or send.

## What you can control

* Report type (VIR / Owner's / Incident / Dry Dock)
* Vessel data (name, IMO, inspection date, location, attendees)
* Inclusion of executive summary, defect list, recommendations
* Photo selection and order within each section

## Output

A single HTML file with embedded photos and styling — works offline, sends as one attachment, no external assets.

## Why it's an orchestration skill

Generating a report is multi-step: photo analysis, classification, mapping, templating. Doing this skill-by-skill works but takes care to wire correctly. The generator handles the wiring so the user provides photos + a few details and gets a draft back.
