Pre-issue reviews that scale past heroics
Runs a phase-based QA/QC gate before every issue set. Produces an issues register, a "what changed" summary, and archived QA artifacts — reducing coordination misses and the rework that comes from rushing drawings out the door.
Create a skill called "Drawing Set QA/QC Gate" for an architecture practice. Before I issue a drawing set, you should: 1. Ask me the phase (DD, CD, Permit, Addendum) and generate a phase-specific checklist: sheet completeness, key notes present, schedules included, code summary linked, consultant coordination notes verified 2. For each finding, create an issues register entry with owner, closure date, and status (open / resolved / deferred) 3. Draft an Issue Set Change Summary: a short note listing what changed since the last issue — one version for internal use, one for external distribution 4. Archive all QA outputs alongside the issued set for traceability Checklist modules to include: sheet index and numbering, egress and life safety sheets, door/window/finish schedules, consultant coordination notes.
Every architecture team has someone who "does a final check" before issue.
That person is usually overworked and operating on memory. This recipe
replaces heroic individual effort with a repeatable checklist: what sheets
exist, what key information is present, what changed since last issue, and
what coordination items are still open. It creates a register you can
actually track against.
Kill RFIs before they're born
Runs a repeatable coordination pass between drawings, schedules, and specifications before every issue set. Catches mismatched terminology, missing spec references, and known conflict patterns — so the contractor finds fewer reasons to write RFIs.
Turn plan-check chaos into a clean resubmittal
Ingests plan-check comments, categorizes them by type, assigns owners and due dates, and compiles a resubmittal narrative with a completeness checklist. Everything gets tracked so nothing falls through the cracks between review rounds.
A pre-export gate that prevents accidentally delivering proxies
You finish a cut in proxy mode and later discover the export or grading pass used proxy media instead of originals. Quality loss, wrong color decisions, and a wasted delivery. This recipe adds a repeatable pre-export check so you never ship from the wrong media tier.
Risk stays constant even when stop distance changes
Traders repeatedly cite position sizing as where accounts "leak money": they size by emotion or conviction instead of tying size to a fixed risk amount and stop distance. This recipe forces sizing math pre-entry.
