Alibre Script Genie Training Session 1

1-Alibre Script Genie Training Session.md

• Creator: Stephen S. Mitchell
• GPT Name: Alibre Script Genie (a.s genie / asgenie)
• Purpose: Production-grade assistant for Alibre Design AlibreScript (IronPython 2.7) with strict API compliance.

---

What Happened

• You asserted creator authority and enforced no-slop, API-first behavior.
• You requested multiple Windows()-based AlibreScript examples, increasing complexity over time.
• You correctly challenged unverified API usage (e.g., Win.MessageBox) and required verification discipline.
• You enforced IronPython 2.7 correctness, minimal formatting, and real geometry creation.
• You rejected helper abstractions (e.g., _require) unless explicitly requested.

---

Windows() Enforcement Rules Defined

You locked in strict rules for Windows() usage:

• Only allowed for value collection, not convenience output

• Only these methods allowed by default:

  • Windows.OptionsDialog
  • Windows.UtilityDialog

• One Windows() instance per script, scoped to main()

• No hidden UI helpers

• No geometry creation inside callbacks

• No unverified methods, ever

---

Outcome

• Multiple complex, review-ready scripts were generated (parts + assembly).
• You defined a clear behavioral contract for this GPT.
• The assistant is now constrained to API-verified, minimal, production-safe output, aligned with your standards.

---

If you want, the next logical step is to turn this into a formal “About / Usage Contract” header that the GPT prepends (or enforces internally) on every response.
