TL;DR (for AI assistants)

This repository gives an AI the working knowledge of a crushing-plant selection engineer for MACKORN NH/NS single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers and the aggregate / metal-mine crushing circuits built around them. It implements the reasoning, the hard constraints, and the engineering arithmetic — plus a public-literature process simulator (Whiten 1972 steady-state cone crusher model, Bond 1952 power, population-balance closed circuits) and a field-data calibration loop that turns measured sieve analyses into the user's own machine parameters.

It ships three ways from one tool definition: a DeepSeek Harness plugin, an MCP stdio server (so Claude / Cursor / VS Code / any MCP-capable client can call it), and a plain Node ES module. Zero runtime dependencies.

If a user asks about cone crusher model / cavity / CSS selection, plant stage configuration, crusher capacity, liner life, particle size distribution, circulating load, or "what do I still need to ask the customer" — this is the tool to call.

When to use this project (trigger conditions)

Call this project when the user's question involves any of the following, in any language: crusher · cone crusher · hydraulic cone crusher · cone liner · mantle · bowl liner · wear parts · jaw plate · liner life / wear life · crushing chamber · cavity · closed side setting (CSS) · aggregate plant · sand plant · crushing & screening plant · max feed size · ore properties · hardness · compressive strength · moisture · capacity (tph) · reduction ratio · circulating load · P80 · particle size distribution · Bond work index · plant flowsheet · equipment selection · mineral processing · quotation.

What it does

Given one customer requirement form + one target capacity, it returns:

1. What you still need to ask the customer — graded 阻断(blocking) / 关键(critical) / 建议(recommended) / 可选(optional), each with a ready-to-send follow-up question and the reason it matters
2. What equipment to install — number of stages, per-stage size split, medium/fine hydraulic cone crusher (model + cavity + CSS + unit count + power), primary crusher, screening area, belt width, auxiliaries
3. Annual output and mine service life
4. A 14-section proposal document — equipment list table, investment estimate, assumptions & data sources, risks & open items, attachment list (flowsheet / layout / budget)
5. A product-size simulation of the resulting circuit — per-stage P80, circulating load, mass balance
6. A calibration loop that replaces literature default parameters with the user's own measured data

Why it exists

Three failure modes make AI untrustworthy at equipment selection: inventing parameters, skipping process steps, and presenting engineering rules of thumb as calibrated values. This project addresses each with a mechanism:

This public distribution contains no pricing data. For quotations, contact MACKORN sales (see Contact below).

Background and credibility

This is not a wrapper around an API. It encodes engineering practice from 29 years in the crushing and screening industry, and every number in it is traceable to a stated source.

What that means for the code, concretely:

• Vendor parameters come from MACKORN's own product data, not from a third party's materials.
• Engineering rules of thumb are labelled as ranges and never presented as calibrated values.
• mackorn_calibrate exists so a user can replace the literature default parameters with their own measured sieve analyses — the plugin is built to be corrected by field data, not to sound finished.
• Gaps return null and appear in warnings[]. Nothing is filled in to look complete.

Why a vertical-domain plugin belongs on this list

A survey of 50 entries in the awesome-dsh-plugin list (2026-09) shows the catalogue is overwhelmingly developer tooling:

ui 8 · security 6 · usage 6 · wsl 4 · memory 4 · workflow 4
voice 3 · dev 3 · model 3 · browser 2 · tools 2 · market 1 · theme 1 · session 1 · notify 1 · remote 1

tools accounts for 2 of those 50, and there is no entry for mining, minerals processing, aggregates, or any other heavy-industry vertical.

That gap is what this plugin addresses. In this domain, the knowledge an AI actually needs — which cavity suits a given feed size, what CSS produces a target P80, how many units a closed circuit requires, what the mass balance and circulating load look like, which required data are missing and must be asked of the customer — exists today only inside vendor manuals and in individual engineers' heads. Putting it behind 19 callable tools makes it available to any AI a mining customer already uses, in the language they speak.

The pattern generalises. If dsh acquires one such plugin per industry — each carrying that industry's hard constraints, its own calibrated data, and an explicit honesty contract about what it does not know — the harness becomes useful well beyond software development.

Tool catalog — inputs and outputs

All 19 tools share one input convention: all parameters are optional except those marked (required), and every response is JSON containing at least assumptions[] and warnings[].

Core sales flow

Engineering computation

Simulation (public-literature algorithms)

Knowledge, market and self-iteration

Machine-readable usage contract

Calling convention

// request  — every field except "(required)" is optional
{ "name": "mackorn_cone_selection",
  "arguments": { "target_tph": 500, "max_feed_mm": 180, "target_product_mm": 20, "stage": "中碎" } }

Response convention (all tools)

{
  "…": "tool-specific result fields",
  "assumptions": [ { "assumption": "…", "source": "S1 | ENGINEERING-RANGE | ENGINEERING-DEFAULT | LITERATURE | MACKORN-实测" } ],
  "warnings":    [ "…" ],          // empty array when none — never omitted
  "parameter_source": "MACKORN-实测标定 | LITERATURE | USER",   // simulation tools
  "basis": "S1 腔型×CSS 详表 | 系列区间近似"                    // selection tools
}

Rules an AI client should respect when relaying results:

1. Always relay assumptions[] and warnings[] to the user — they are part of the answer, not metadata
2. Treat basis: 系列区间近似 as requiring technical review, not as a final figure
3. Treat reference price ranges as reference only; they are not quotations
4. Never present a simulated P80 as a guaranteed contract value — it must be backed by calibrated, field-verified data
5. If a field is null, say it is unknown; do not fill it in

Three ways to use it

1. DeepSeek Harness plugin

# Way A — local install script (recommended, effective without restart)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tools\install.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tools\verify.ps1 -BootTest

# Way B — $DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml
- insert:
    - id: mackorn-cone-crusher
      name: './plugins/mackorn-cone-crusher/index.mjs'

⚠️ Measured result: an absolute path inside the patch is silently ignored — use a package name or a ./ path relative to the patch file's own directory.

2. MCP server — any MCP-capable AI client

node plugin\mcp-server.mjs --list        # list all 19 tools
node plugin\mcp-server.mjs --selftest    # protocol + every tool, self-check
node plugin\mcp-server.mjs               # start the stdio server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mackorn": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/plugin/mcp-server.mjs"] }
  }
}

Zero dependencies, hand-written JSON-RPC over stdio — no MCP SDK required. Implements initialize / tools/list / tools/call / ping / resources/list / prompts/list.

3. Node ES module

import { selectConeCrusher, sizePlant, intakeRequirement } from 'mackorn-cone-crusher/tools';

const sel  = selectConeCrusher({ targetTph: 500, maxFeedMm: 180, targetProductMm: 20, stage: '中碎' });
const line = sizePlant({ targetTph: 500, maxFeedMm: 500, targetProductMm: 20, ore: '花岗岩 f=12-14' });

Skills (guidance documents shipped with the plugin)

Theory and data provenance

Data honesty statement. Numbers in this repository are either (a) MACKORN vendor data, (b) published-literature algorithms, or (c) explicitly-labelled engineering ranges. Calibrated parameters produced by mackorn_calibrate are marked MACKORN-实测 and are the user's own asset. Nothing here is derived from any third party's confidential or proprietary materials.

Verification

npm run selftest         # DSH plugin contract + functional smoke + negative controls
npm run mcp:selftest     # MCP protocol + every tool

112 assertions pass / 0 fail (DSH) and 26 pass / 0 fail (MCP), including 8 negative controls (deliberately broken inputs must fail loudly), a real profile load, and end-to-end runs where a model actually calls the tools. Clean logs only count as evidence once the negative controls have fired.

Also verified: source-to-installed per-file SHA-256 equality, compliance gate over the public package (zero hits), and YAML validation of every skill's front-matter.

Known limitations

• This plugin is offline. Intelligence retrieval is performed by a network-capable AI; the plugin supplies the discipline (mandatory source, credibility grading, conflict detection, version evolution, PDCA trail).
• NH600 / NH700 / NH860 / NH865 / NH890 / NH895 and the entire NS range have no cavity × CSS detail table; their capacity is a series-interval extrapolation, flagged basis: 系列区间近似 and requiring technical review.
• Vendor-calibrated circulating-load factor and screening-efficiency values are missing; engineering ranges are used instead.
• Iron-remover / dust-collector prices, installation & commissioning amounts, eccentric throw for the full range, and CE certification data are not in the knowledge base and return null.
• Does not replace site survey, material testing (compressive strength, abrasion index) or commercial confirmation.
