From woodwright/examples/cuts.py, which imports the names it uses (see From an example to your own design):

def rabbeted_panel(
    length: float = 400, width: float = 250, rabbet: float = 15, depth: float = 5
) -> Assembly:
    """A thin panel rabbeted on all four sides, to fit a groove in a frame or a drawer."""
    asm, board = _board("rabbeted_panel", THIN_OAK, length=length, width=width)
    for at in (board.front_edge, board.back_edge, board.left_end, board.right_end):
        board.cut(Rabbet(board.top_face, at=at, width=rabbet, depth=depth))
    return asm
