Output

# Architecture Studio

**Architecture Studio tools and 7 agents** — type `/as:studio [your task]` to get routed, or call any plugin skill by its namespaced command.

## Agents — describe your task, they figure out the rest

| Agent | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| Site Planner | Full site brief — climate, transit, demographics, neighborhood context |
| NYC Zoning Expert | NYC property + zoning — due diligence, FAR, buildable envelope, 3D viewer |
| Workplace Strategist | Space programs — headcount to occupancy compliance to room schedules |
| Product & Materials Researcher | Find products from a brief, extract specs from URLs/PDFs, find alternatives |
| FF&E Designer | Build schedules from messy inputs, compose room packages, QA, export |
| Sustainability Specialist | EPD research, GWP comparison, LEED eligibility, spec thresholds |
| Brand Manager | Presentations, color palettes, visual consistency, deliverable QA |

## Skills — call directly for a specific task

### Materials Research
/as:product-research — find products from a design brief
/as:product-spec-bulk-fetch — extract specs from product URLs
/as:product-spec-pdf-parser — extract specs from PDF catalogs
/as:product-data-cleanup — normalize a messy FF&E schedule

### Dispatcher
/as:studio [task] — smart router: describe a task, get routed to the right agent or skill
/as:tool-catalog — this menu
/as:skill-maker — scaffold a new skill that follows the house conventions
/as:workplan — plan repository, operational, or AEC delivery work before acting
/as:studio-feedback — prepare a reviewed GitHub bug report or feature request

### Project Records
/as:project — initialize a project, remember sourced facts, and manage numbered decision records

/as:site-visit-report — turn field notes into an evidence-aware site report
/as:tasklist — manage the canonical TASKS.md action register
/as:timetracker — reconstruct daily or weekly work and record user-confirmed time

These records form a linked graph: facts and decisions inform plans; meetings and site reports propose facts, decisions, and tasks without silently promoting them; tasks preserve action history; and timetracker reconstructs work from dated artifacts but never infers duration.

### Learn — new to Claude Code?
/as:learn — guided hands-on course for architects, resumable anytime

That's it. Do not add commentary, suggestions, or follow-up questions. Just print the menu.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take alpacalabsllc/tool-catalog from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
