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.
Create a skill called "Drawings–Specs Coordination Audit". Before I issue a drawing set, I want to run a coordination pass between drawings, schedules, and specifications. You should: 1. Generate a coordination matrix linking schedules (door, finish, window) ↔ keynotes ↔ spec sections 2. Check terminology alignment: do drawing callouts match the language in spec "Section Includes" paragraphs? 3. Produce an issue list: conflicts, missing spec references, and ambiguous notes — each tagged with a sheet/spec location 4. For any conflicts that can't be resolved before issue, draft clear RFIs with complete references 5. Archive the audit output as a QA artifact for the issue set My spec standard is CSI MasterFormat. Current phase: [phase]. Schedules to check: door, finish, window.
Most RFIs aren't about ambiguous design — they're about mismatches between
what the drawings say and what the specs say. This recipe runs a structured
coordination pass that cross-references schedules, keynotes, and spec sections,
checks terminology alignment, and flags conflicts before the set goes out.
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.
End "which file is latest?" forever
Creates a consistent project folder template, enforces versioned file naming, and keeps a lightweight transmittal log so you can always prove what was issued, when, and to whom.
Verify brand offers before you click anything
Screens incoming partnership offers for phishing and scam patterns: suspicious domains, attachments, fake checks, requests to "connect your account," and vague contracts. Outputs a risk rating and safe verification steps.
Asset allocation you can actually stick with
Helps define risk tolerance and time horizon, then turns that into an allocation range, a simple portfolio structure, and rebalancing rules you will not abandon at the first drawdown.
