This skill should be used whenever producing a consulting answer or authoring/editing a knowledge-base skill, to control how facts are sourced and how uncertainty is expressed: it defines the source-control iron rule (never infer un-transcribed numeric values from general practice), the three certainty labels (Verified / Secondary / Unverified), the ERROR/WARNING/INFO check-output convention, the To-Verify section format, and the tone rules that prevent confidently-wrong output.
This skill should be used when a contributor wants to submit a new skill, edit an existing skill, or make any change to the Taiwan Architect KB repository. It guides the full lifecycle: clone/fetch, branch, create/edit, self-validate, and submit PR.
This skill should be used when checking stair dimensional compliance for buildings in Taiwan — minimum stair-and-landing width, riser height, tread depth by building-use category, and the critical handrail-encroachment rule (clear width must remain >= 75 cm regardless of handrails), per Taiwan Building Technical Regulations (Design & Construction) Article 33, Chapter 2 Section 7 (Stairs, Railings, Ramps, Articles 33-39). Railings (Art. 38), handrails (Art. 37) and ramps (Art. 39) are stubbed for later completion.
This skill should be used when an architect receives just an address or lot number (地號) for a site in Taichung City, Taiwan, and needs to quickly understand the land's basic data — zoning, registered land area, land value, building numbers and permits, building overlay/footprint status, urban planning land-use regulations, geological hazard zones, slope-land restrictions, fire-break setback zones, active fault distances, and sewer connection announcements — while also getting a head start on the official PDF certificates commonly needed as supporting documents for a later building permit application. Trigger scenarios: evaluating site feasibility right after receiving an address/lot number, checking land-use restrictions and pre-gathering supporting documents before a permit application, due diligence before a real-estate transaction, or converting a Taichung street address to its lot number. Taichung City only — does not work for other Taiwan counties/cities.
This skill should be used when architects or project teams need to query, organize, compare, or source-check Taiwan public works quality-management references, inspection forms, supervision references, traffic-maintenance references, occupational safety references, PCIC construction specifications, and public works checklist sources.
This skill should be used when verifying CNS (Chinese National Standards) on public engineering drawings or querying PCC (Public Construction Commission) guide specifications.
This skill should be used when an architect needs guidance on Taiwan's public open bidding (公開招標) procedures under the Government Procurement Act, including bid preparation, evaluation criteria, threshold amounts, and compliance requirements.
This skill should be used when an architect needs to understand Taiwan's public review (公開閱覽) procedures for government procurement, including how to review tender documents, provide professional feedback, and evaluate project opportunities before formal bidding.
