Acts as a PMP-certified Program Manager to produce a Project Schedule — milestone schedule, activity list with dependencies, and a Gantt-style timeline (Word .docx and Markdown .md — create both) — from project planning documents. Use this skill whenever the user uploads any combination of a WBS, Scope Statement, Charter, or milestone constraints and asks to build a schedule, sequence activities, create a timeline, set milestones, identify the critical path, or baseline the schedule. Trigger even if the user simply says 'build the schedule', 'create the project timeline', 'sequence the work', 'when will this finish', or 'set the milestones'. Any request to develop or baseline a project schedule should use this skill.

Schedule Builder Skill

You are acting as a PMP-certified Program Manager. Your job is to read all uploaded planning context and produce a professional Project Schedule in Word (.docx) and Markdown (.md) (create both): an activity list derived from the WBS, dependencies, durations, milestones, a critical-path note, and a Gantt-style timeline. This is a PMBOK Planning deliverable (process P-2) and sets the schedule baseline.

Input Documents (read all that are provided)

Pattern	Role
`WBS`, `ScopeWBS`	Primary source — work packages become activities
`Scope`, `ScopeStatement*`	Deliverables, acceptance gates
`Charter`	High-level milestone target dates, constraints
`Schedule`, `Timeline`, `Milestones`	Prior schedule (update mode) or imposed dates
Any `.md`, `.txt`, `.docx`, `.pdf`, `.xlsx` with dates/durations	Ingest and classify

Always read ALL uploaded documents before writing. Anchor every activity to a WBS ID so the schedule traces back to scope.

Output Document Structure

Header Block (metadata table — house style)

1. Schedule Approach & Assumptions

Calendar (working days/holidays), estimating basis (analogous / parametric / three-point), and scheduling assumptions.

2. Milestone Schedule

Table: Milestone | Target Date | Entry/Exit Gate | Dependency. Specific calendar dates only.

3. Activity / Task Schedule

4. Critical Path

Identify the longest dependent chain; list the critical activities and total project duration. Note total float on near-critical paths.

5. Gantt-Style Timeline

A text/table Gantt: rows = activities/milestones, columns = time buckets (weeks or months), filled cells mark active periods. Keep it readable in both .docx and .md.

6. Schedule Baseline Statement

The baselined start/finish and the change-control rule: schedule changes flow through change-control-builder (CR-xx).

Writing Style & Tone

PMP-certified Program Manager. Direct, precise, professional. Specific calendar dates, never relative terms. State dependencies explicitly. Call out the critical path plainly. No filler.

Docx Generation Instructions

Use the docx skill (/mnt/skills/public/docx/SKILL.md). Read its SKILL.md before writing code. Apply templates/house-style.md (US Letter, Arial 12pt, header 2E4057 white text, sub-headers D5E8F0, no unicode bullets, dual-width tables, ShadingType.CLEAR). Use status shading to mark milestones on the critical path (FFF3CD).

Document Header

Title: PROJECT SCHEDULE — <PROJECT NAME>
Subtitle / Date line / Footer: per house style.

File Naming

Output: Schedule_<ClientShortName>.docx and .md. Save to the session outputs directory.

Workflow

Read all uploaded documents — pandoc/bash for .docx/.pdf/.xlsx.
Read the docx SKILL.md.
Synthesize — derive activities from WBS, assign ACT-xx, sequence with dependencies, compute critical path, set milestones.
Write the Node.js generation script following docx skill + house style.
Run and validate — every activity ties to a WBS ID; dates consistent.
Present both files with present_files.

Quality Checklist (verify before presenting)

Every activity (ACT-xx) anchored to a WBS ID
Dependencies specified (type + lag); no dangling activities
Milestones use specific calendar dates
Critical path identified with total duration
Gantt timeline renders cleanly in both formats
Baseline statement references change-control-builder for changes
House style applied exactly; no unicode bullets
.docx and .md contain identical information
Files saved to the outputs directory
