# Laundry Decoder 🧺
Care labels are a pictographic language most people can't read — surveys
consistently show **the majority of consumers misinterpret care symbols**,
which is why shrinking sweaters and pink-white laundry are universal
experiences. This skill translates symbols to plain instructions, tells you
whether today's pile can be **one load or must be several**, and gives
stain-specific first aid ordered by least-destructive-first.
## Overview
Three jobs, one tool (`scripts/laundry_decoder.py`):
1. **Symbol decode** — describe a symbol in words (`tub 40`, `triangle
crossed`, `iron 2 dots`, `circle p`, `square circle 1 dot`) and get the
meaning, the risk if ignored, and the safe-action phrasing. Covers the
ISO 37500 / GINETEX families: washtub (wash), triangle (bleach), square
with circle (dry), iron (iron), circle (professional care).
2. **Load planner** — enter garments with color class, max temperature,
fabric, and delicates flag; the planner partitions them into the fewest
safe loads using real rules:
- temperature = min of the load's ceilings
- new/dark cottons bleed onto lights (hot water worsens it)
- delicates never mix with heavy cottons/towels (abrasion)
- wool/silk never mix with cotton terry (felting + snagging)
- items flagged "hot wash only" (bad towels, workout synthetics) can't go
cold
3. **Stain first aid** — 20+ common stains, each with a protocol ordered
from least to most aggressive for the stated fabri
