Claude Skills by AlpacaLabsLLC

Create an HTML color palette from a mood, description, or image, with swatches, color codes, pairings, and contrast checks. Use for color schemes or brand colors.

Export a project's FF&E product-library CSV as dealer-system SIF. Use to produce a .sif schedule; use sif-to-csv for the reverse direction.

Research population, income, age, housing, and employment around a site. Use for census, demographic, or local-market questions tied to a location.

Research climate, sun, flood, seismic, soil, contamination, and topography for a site. Use for environmental site analysis or hazard questions tied to a location.

Compare EPD products on normalized GWP and other impacts while checking declared units, system boundaries, and LEED eligibility. Use for side-by-side EPD comparison.

Extract GWP, life-cycle stages, certifications, and impact metrics from an EPD PDF. Use when given a declaration to parse; not to find or compare EPDs.

Search for EPDs by product category, CSI division, or material type — finds EPDs from EC3, program operator registries, and manufacturer sites. Use when the user asks to "find EPDs for...", locate declarations for a material, or source low-carbon product documentation.

Write CSI specification language for EPD submittals and sourced GWP limits. Use to add embodied-carbon or EPD requirements to specs; not to parse, find, or compare EPDs.

Guided, hands-on course teaching architects how to use Codex or Claude Code — six short modules, each built around an exercise on a bundled sandbox project (a fictional Brooklyn art museum expansion). Resumable across sessions via PROGRESS.md. Use when the user runs $learn or /as:learn, says they're new to AI-assisted project work, or asks how to learn it.

Initialize, validate, inspect, or import the current project's local FF&E product library. Use when a product workflow needs product-library.csv, when the user invokes /as:master-schedule, or when legacy master-schedule.json or canoa.json configuration is present.

Turn a meeting transcript, notes, or conversation into collision-safe, source-linked minutes in meetings/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md. Use for project meeting records, attendance, discussion, stated information, decisions, action candidates, and open questions. Saving minutes never changes PROJECT.md, decisions/, or TASKS.md; promote only user-selected items afterward.

Research transit, walking, cycling, pedestrian infrastructure, and airport access for a site. Use for mobility, accessibility, or walkability questions tied to a location.

Look up NYC ACRIS deeds, mortgages, liens, sales, and ownership history. Use for property transactions or recorded ownership; not permits or violations.

Look up NYC BSA variances, special permits, and appeals that modify as-of-right zoning. Use for zoning relief; use zoning-analysis-nyc for base controls.

Look up NYC DOB permits and new-building, alteration, or demolition job filings. Use for filed or permitted work and renovation history; use nyc-dob-violations for violations.

Look up open and resolved DOB and ECB violations for any NYC building, with class, status, and penalty detail. Use when the user asks whether a building has violations, stop-work orders, or outstanding ECB penalties. NYC only; for housing-code violations use /as:nyc-hpd.

Look up HPD violations, complaints, and building registration for NYC residential buildings. Use when the user asks about housing-code violations, tenant complaints, or HPD registration at an address. NYC only; for DOB and ECB violations use /as:nyc-dob-violations.

Check whether a NYC building is landmarked or in a historic district using LPC data. Use when the user asks "is this building landmarked", whether a site sits in a historic district, or whether LPC review applies. NYC only.

Compile NYC landmarks, DOB, ACRIS, HPD, and BSA findings into one property due-diligence report. Use for a full report; use individual NYC skills for one dataset.

Calculate code occupant loads by area with gross/net factors and jurisdiction checks. Use for "how many people can this space hold," IBC Table 1004.5, egress inputs, or occupancy-load reports; not for workplace headcount planning.

Clean a local FF&E CSV schedule by normalizing casing, dimensions, units, language, materials, and formatting. Use when asked to clean, fix, or standardize product data.

Generate a formatted FF&E specification schedule from notes, CSV, or pasted lists and optionally save it to the project's 33-column CSV library. Use when asked to import products or build a schedule.

Enrich FF&E schedule rows with categories, colors, materials, and style tags. Use to tag, categorize, or fill those missing fields; not to research new products.

Download, resize, and remove backgrounds from product images at scale. Use when the user asks to "process product images", batch-download images from the schedule, strip backgrounds, or standardize product photos.

Find visually or functionally similar products from an image, name, or description. Use when the user asks to "find something like this", match a product from a photo, or source alternates to a given item.

Suggest complementary products that pair well with a given item — side tables for sofas, task lights for desks, etc. Use when the user asks "what goes with" a product, wants coordinating pieces, or asks to complete a furniture grouping.

Find and compare current FF&E candidates from a design brief, with sourced purchasing facts and optional CSV-library save. Use to research or source products; not to match from an image or pair coordinating items.

Extract structured FF&E specs from a list of product URLs into a schedule. Use to pull or bulk-import product-page data; not for PDF catalogs.

Extract structured FF&E specs from PDF price books, fact sheets, or spec sheets into a schedule. Use for product PDFs; not web URLs or EPDs.

Create or maintain an Architecture Studio project — initialize its record bundle, remember sourced facts, capture or supersede decisions, inspect project status, or migrate a 1.x PROJECT.md. Use when the user says “set up the project,” “remember this,” “we decided,” asks about project context, or runs /as:project.

Batch-resize or convert a folder of images for web, social media, slides, or ARCH-size print output while preserving originals. Use for image resizing, format presets, or photo batches; not for product-image background removal.

Parse a SIF (Standard Interchange Format) input into a readable preview and optionally append canonical product rows to the project's CSV library. Use when asked to convert or inspect SIF dealer data. For the reverse direction use /as:csv-to-sif.

Neighborhood context and history — adjacent uses, architectural character, landmarks, commercial activity, and planned development from an address. Use when the user asks about a site's history or surroundings, "what's around this site", neighborhood character, or nearby planned development.

Create a typed, source-linked site visit report from field notes, photos, files, or conversation. Use for site observations, field reports, walkthrough records, existing-condition visits, and follow-up capture. Separate direct observations, participant-reported information, interpretation, limitations, issues, and proposed follow-ups. Saving a report never changes PROJECT.md, decisions/, or TASKS.md; promote only user-selected items afterward.

Scaffold a new Architecture Studio skill for Codex or Claude Code following this repo's conventions — copy a canonical template, apply the PATTERNS.md checklist, and verify it. Use when the user invokes skill-maker, asks to create or package a new skill, or wants to turn a procedure into a reusable command.

Generate a self-contained HTML slide deck from a topic, outline, report, or data. Use for presentations and slide decks; not for editing PowerPoint files.

Turn a material or product list into CSI MasterFormat outline specifications with three-part sections and review flags. Use to write specs; use epd-to-spec for embodied-carbon requirements.

Prepare a user-reviewed Architecture Studio bug report or feature request for GitHub. Use when the user runs /as:studio-feedback, says "report a bug", "this skill broke", "send feedback", or requests a feature. Do not use for Claude Code's native /feedback command.

Architecture Studio control plane — initialize or inspect a studio workspace, create and register projects, or route an architecture/AEC task to the right agent or skill. Use when the user runs /as:studio, asks to set up or open their studio, manage its projects, or describes a task without naming a skill.

Maintain a project's canonical TASKS.md or an opted-in studio portfolio task register with permanent IDs, ownership, lifecycle dates, and source provenance. Use to list, add, update, complete, or cancel tasks, view tasks across registered projects, or import selected action items from project artifacts. Do not use for planning the work itself or silently turn every proposed action into a task.

Reconstruct daily or weekly project work from dated plans, decisions, meetings, site reports, tasks, and other artifacts, then append user-confirmed manual entries to TIMELOG.md. Use for "log my time," "what did I work on," daily timesheets, or weekly time reconstruction. Never infer hours, start/stop times, billing status, or completeness from activity signals.

Show the available Architecture Studio skills and their host-appropriate commands, plus Claude Code's native Architecture Studio agents. Use when the user invokes tool-catalog, asks "what can you do" or "what skills are available", or wants a directory of plugin commands. Do not use for a host's native skill-list command.

Build office space programs through guided workplace strategy: area splits, room schedules, and planned seat counts. Use to program or size a workplace; not for code occupant-load calculations.

Create a durable, execution-ready work plan for repository changes, operations, research, or AEC project delivery. Use when the user asks to plan, scope, sequence, coordinate, or break down multi-step work before acting. Do not use for floor plans, site plans, space planning, zoning calculations, building-code analysis, or architectural design.

Analyze NYC lot zoning, FAR, height, setbacks, uses, and buildable envelope from PLUTO and the Zoning Resolution. Use for "what can I build"; use nyc-bsa for relief and zoning-envelope for 3D visualization.

Generate interactive 3D zoning envelope viewers from zoning analysis reports. Use when the user asks to "visualize the zoning envelope" or see buildable massing in 3D, typically after /as:zoning-analysis-nyc. Requires a zoning analysis report as input.
