Codex sessions burn 10+ tool calls grepping kb/field-knowledge and the SKU
catalog to map standard requirements (ExaCS X11M BYOL, ADB-D, ADB-S + block
+ FastConnect) to the 4-5 SKUs the MCP BOM tools need. Bake the recipes
into docs/bom-cookbook.md so the LLM can skip the exploration loop for
well-known patterns, and link it from SKILL.md between Output Generation
and Knowledge Base (same progressive-disclosure pattern the other docs use).
Recipe 2 (ADB-Dedicated) explicitly calls out the infra-SKU overlap with
ExaCS — one of the specific traps the exploration loop keeps hitting.
Catalog-fallback note keeps the cookbook honest when a requirement does
not match.
