mat-skills

Use when searching for information across your Claude Code workspace, when compiling new knowledge into the wiki, or when running wiki maintenance. Provides a token-efficient search protocol (index → frontmatter → full read), an ingest protocol for filing session learnings back into the wiki, and a maintenance protocol for running the scorer and fixing issues. Trigger keywords: wiki, search workspace, find skill, knowledge base, obsidian, second brain.

Use this skill when translating an energy code compliance checklist into a machine-readable JSON config for OpenStudio model measures. This includes interviewing the user about material layers from DD drawings, converting IP to SI units, performing gap analysis on checklist data, generating envelope configs, and validating config files. Triggers on checklist-to-config, compliance config, envelope config, material layers, config interview.

Use this skill when troubleshooting OpenStudio or EnergyPlus energy models that fail to simulate, have geometry errors (intersecting surfaces, non-planar surfaces, story organization issues), need HVAC validation against Engineer of Record specifications, require LEED Appendix G baseline generation, need systematic diagnostics for complex commercial building models, or need to diagnose unmet hours root causes. Handles model triage, geometry rebuild decisions, EOR specification mapping, quality assurance for LEED compliance, and deep-dive unmet hours analysis (per-zone diagnostics, multi-run comparison, heating load decomposition, capacity gap analysis).

Use when working with Denver's Energize Denver Article XIV building performance regulations. Provides compliance requirements, pathways, deadlines, penalties, MAI production efficiency metrics, benchmarking rules, and performance targets for commercial and multifamily buildings in Denver. Use when the user mentions Energize Denver, Denver Article XIV, MAI buildings, compliance pathways, performance targets, or Denver building performance requirements.

Comprehensive energy analysis using EnergyPlus, commissioning best practices, and ASHRAE standards for building energy modeling, code compliance verification, and performance optimization

Use this skill when building, auditing, or improving automated eval harnesses for domain plugins. This includes setting up overnight evaluation loops, creating scorers, designing generator/analyzer agent prompts, configuring the overnight framework, bridging to refinery for production feedback, or checking existing harnesses against current best practices. Trigger keywords: eval harness, overnight loop, automated scoring, harness audit, eval framework, quality loop, scorer, generator-evaluator.

Look up HVAC equipment specifications (capacity, efficiency, dimensions, electrical requirements) by brand and model number. Use when the user mentions equipment specs, model numbers, AHU, VAV, chiller, boiler, pump, fan specifications, or needs to find manufacturer data sheets. Searches manufacturer websites and processes PDF spec sheets with security safeguards.

Retro-commissioning (RCx) analysis workflows including phased ECM/FIM discovery with upfront consolidation, energy savings quantification in Excel, ROM cost estimation, implementation priority matrices, and report assembly following ASHRAE Guideline 0. Use when performing system-by-system RCx investigation, building ECM/FIM registers, calculating savings, estimating costs, or assembling RCx reports.

Use this skill when working with OpenStudio 3.10 .osm models to adjust HVAC systems, equipment, thermal zones, schedules, or constructions, then run simulations to validate changes. Handles applying existing measures, running CLI simulations, and saving versioned model files. Delegates to diagnosing-energy-models for simulation failures and writing-openstudio-model-measures for custom measure creation. Includes BCL measure search and download.

Use this skill when exploring ideas for new Claude Code skills or plugins before building them. Covers problem grounding with real examples, deterministic-vs-probabilistic decomposition, architecture decisions (skill vs. plugin), and producing a handoff artifact for downstream tools. Use when the user mentions designing a skill, planning a plugin, exploring an automation idea, scoping a new tool, or wants to brainstorm skill/plugin architecture — even if they just say 'I have an idea for a skill' or 'I want to automate X as a plugin.'

SkySpark analytics for building automation systems including Axon queries, trend analysis, fault detection, and performance optimization using haystack tagging standards

Write OpenStudio ModelMeasures (Ruby scripts that modify .osm files) for building energy models. Use when creating measures, writing measure.rb files, or modifying OpenStudio models programmatically. Targets OpenStudio 3.10 with best practices from NREL documentation.

Creating Owner Project Requirements (OPR) documents for building commissioning projects following ASHRAE Standard 202 and Guideline 0. Use when the user needs to write, draft, update, or review OPR documentation, or when starting a new commissioning project that requires an OPR deliverable.
