STRUCTURAL, CIVIL, MEP, GEOTECHNICAL, AND ARCHITECTURE PRACTICES
A FREE SKILL LIBRARY FOR AEC FIRMS.
Four skills, each built around a repeating piece of work that tends to get dropped: proposals built from past wins, site visit reports, Philadelphia permit submission checklists, and construction administration log entries. They run in Claude or ChatGPT. No additional account required.

THE FOUR SKILLS.
Proposal Drafter From Past Wins
Drafts a new client proposal by pulling structure and language from past proposals that already won. Asks the discipline at runtime, runs a short intake, selects the right template, and returns a structured draft for the engineer or principal to edit.
Site Visit Notes To Project Record
Turns raw site visit notes (typed, dictated, or photographed) into a clean visit report and a structured project record entry. Built for structural, civil, MEP, geotechnical, and architecture practices.
Permit Submission Package Checklist
Returns a ready submission checklist for a Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections building permit package. Covers new construction, alterations, additions, and demolition. Includes a paste-your-own template for other jurisdictions.
Construction Administration Log Entry
Turns a field event, RFI, submittal review, field observation, or directive into a structured construction administration log entry. Five entry types: RFI response, submittal review, field observation, field directive, and meeting note.
WHAT THESE SKILLS WILL NOT DO.
These skills do not make engineering decisions. They do not size members, specify materials, set loads, interpret code, recommend means and methods, or resolve technical conflicts. They do not stand in for a stamped opinion.
What they do: organize the work around the engineering. Draft. Structure. Format. Cross-reference. Surface what is missing. Hand a clean record back to the person responsible.
If a skill is asked for an engineering call, it should refuse and return the question to the engineer. The skills are written to do this on their own. If you find a case where one does not, send it to tyler@baysideai.co.
This rule is non-negotiable. It is the reason the library exists in a form a firm can actually use.
