description	Build a staff shift schedule that matches coverage to demand while hitting a labor-cost target. Use when asked to build a shift schedule, staff a rota, plan coverage for a restaurant/retail/shift-based team, or balance labor cost against service. Produces a day-part coverage plan mapped to forecast demand, role-by-role assignments, the projected labor cost vs. target, and the fairness/compliance guardrails (rest between shifts, overtime, availability).

Shift Schedule Builder Skill

A schedule is a bet on demand: overstaff and you burn margin, understaff and service (and your best people) walk. This skill builds coverage from the demand curve out — enough hands at the rush, lean in the lulls — then checks the labor cost and the human constraints before it's posted.

Working from a brief

Given the team, hours, and demand pattern, produce the full schedule — infer the day-part demand shape from the business type if no forecast is given (label it). Respect stated availability and time-off; never schedule someone into a conflict you were told about.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label):

• Team — names/roles, pay rates or an average, and availability/time-off
• Operating hours and the demand pattern (covers by day-part, peak times, events)
