Daily Progress Report Generator

Business Case

Problem Statement

Site managers spend hours creating daily reports:

  • Manual data collection
  • Inconsistent formats
  • Delayed submissions
  • Missing information

Solution

Automated daily progress report generation from structured site data inputs.

Quick Start

from datetime import date

# Initialize reporter
reporter = DailyProgressReporter("Office Tower A", "PRJ-2024-001")

# Create report
report = reporter.create_report(
    report_date=date.today(),
    weather=WeatherCondition.CLEAR,
    temp_high=28,
    temp_low=18,
    prepared_by="John Smith"
)

# Add activities
reporter.add_work_activity(
    report,
    activity_id="A-101",
    description="Pour concrete slab Level 3",
    location="Level 3, Zone A",
    planned_qty=150,
    actual_qty=150,
    unit="m3",
    crew_size=8,
    hours_worked=10
)

# Add labor
reporter.add_labor(report, "Concrete", "ABC Concrete Co", 8, 10, 2)

# Export
reporter.export_to_excel(report, "daily_report.xlsx")

Common Use Cases

1. Generate Text Summary

text = reporter.generate_text_report(report)
print(text)

2. Track Delays

report.delays.append("Weather delay - rain from 14:00-16:00")
report.delays.append("Material delivery late by 2 hours")

3. Calculate Metrics

summary = reporter.calculate_summary(report)
print(f"Productivity: {summary['total_manhours']} man-hours")

XLSX

vendor ×15

Comprehensive spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization. When Claude needs to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, etc) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modify existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization in spreadsheets, or (5) Recalculating formulas

XLSX
by w95
×7

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
