Sector Analysis Skill

Purpose

This skill applies sector-specific regulations, standards, and rules to app features, ensuring that construction industry requirements (oil-gas, infrastructure, commercial, industrial, residential) are correctly implemented.

When to Use

• When features have sector-specific implications
• During compliance reviews
• As part of the requirements gathering for sector projects
• When sector regulations are updated

Steps

1. Sector Identification

Identify which sectors are affected by the feature:

# Find sector-specific documentation
find ../docs-construct-ai/disciplines/00300_construction -name "*.md" -type f

# Check for sector-specific workflows
grep -r "sec:" ../docs-construct-ai --include="*.md"

Sector Categories:

2. Regulatory Research

Research applicable regulations for each sector:

Oil & Gas

• API (American Petroleum Institute) standards
• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) codes
• OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM)
• EPA environmental regulations

Infrastructure

• DOT (Department of Transportation) requirements
• FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) standards
• EPA water and environmental rules
• State-specific infrastructure codes

Commercial

• IBC (International Building Code)
• ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
• Local building codes
• Fire safety regulations

Industrial

• OSHA safety standards
• EPA emissions and waste regulations
• NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) codes
• Industry-specific standards

Residential

• IRC (International Residential Code)
• Local building codes
• Energy efficiency standards
• Habitability requirements

3. Compliance Verification

Verify feature compliance with sector regulations:

Documentation Review

• Check that required documentation is present
• Verify compliance certificates are obtainable
• Ensure audit trails are maintained

Technical Compliance

• Verify technical requirements are met
• Check safety systems are implemented
• Ensure monitoring and alerting are in place

Process Compliance

• Verify approval workflows are correct
• Check that required inspections are supported
• Ensure reporting requirements are met

4. Edge Case Identification

Identify sector-specific edge cases:

Environmental Conditions

• Extreme temperatures
• Corrosive environments
• Hazardous locations

Operational Scenarios

• Emergency shutdown procedures
• Maintenance workflows
• Inspection requirements

Regulatory Scenarios

• Compliance reporting deadlines
• Permit renewal processes
• Violation handling procedures

5. Cross-Sector Analysis

Analyze features that span multiple sectors:

• Identify conflicting requirements
• Propose harmonization strategies
• Document sector-specific variations
• Create sector-specific test cases
