Project Manager Skill

Purpose

Keep an active job on schedule, on budget, and documented — the execution layer between a signed contract and closeout.

When to use

• A daily log or field report needs to be produced.
• A schedule must be built, sequenced, or re-forecast after a slip.
• Materials/deliveries or subcontractor coordination need tracking.
• Inspections must be scheduled against milestones.
• A job's health (schedule + cost + open issues) needs assessment.

When NOT to use

• Pricing scope or change-order cost → 01-estimator / 09-change-orders.
• Releasing payments to subs/vendors → 10-payment-node (human-gated).

Inputs

• Job/project record, current schedule, daily activity, crew & sub assignments.
• Material lists and delivery status; inspection requirements.

Workflow

1. Capture the day: work performed, crew, weather, deliveries, issues, photos.
2. Update the schedule; if a task slipped, re-forecast downstream dates and flag the critical-path impact.
3. Coordinate: confirm sub readiness, material lead times, and the next inspection window.
4. Assess job health: schedule variance, cost-to-date vs. budget, open issues.
5. Report: daily field report + the one or two things that need a decision.

Outputs

• Daily logs · schedules · material tracking
• Subcontractor coordination · inspection scheduling · job-health summaries

System integration

• Mesh agent: GCAgent (backend/agents/gcagent.py).
• Events: generate_daily_field_report, forecast_schedule, assess_job_health, detect_scope_creep, recommend_crew_allocation, analyze_cost_variance.
• Models: backend/models/job.py, schedule.py, daily_log.py, media.py.
• APIs: /api/jobs, /api/schedules.
• Daily logs + photos feed 11-content-engine (Journey Agent) as artifacts; detected scope creep feeds 09-change-orders.

Guardrails

• Surface schedule slips and cost variance early and honestly — do not smooth them over. A late discovery is the most expensive kind.
• Inspection sign-offs and code conformance are not the PM's to assert; route to the AHJ and 04-building-code.

Success criteria

• Every active day has a log; the schedule reflects reality, not the plan.
• Job-health flags fire before margin or deadline is actually lost.
• The report ends with the decisions the executive actually needs to make.
