Capstone templates

Pick one of the five below or propose your own. Each template stresses a different multi-modal output lane. See the capstone page for full per-template detail (sources, Skills, outputs, background planning), then lock your spec using the capstone spec template.

2. Wardrobe Stylist — closet inventory + calendar + weather → daily outfits + lookbooks for events. Image-heavy.
3. Home Maintenance Agent — track house systems (HVAC, filters, gutters, lawn) → reminders + shopping lists + photo-documented repair log. Document + photo log.
