Architecture Studio
36 skills, 7 agents — AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) intelligence. Single entry point: /studio [your task] or call any skill directly.
The 36 nested skills below are reached via /studio or by name from inside this skill; they are intentionally not registered as separate top-level estate skills.
Claude Code only: the hooks/ automation and the allowed-tools/user-invocable frontmatter on nested dispatcher skills (e.g. studio) are Claude Code-specific and inert under Codex/GPT-6 Astra, which can still use the plain skill content routed by /studio.
When to Use This Skill
- Site analysis: environmental, mobility, demographics, history for any address
- NYC property: zoning, DOB permits/violations, landmarks, ACRIS, HPD, BSA
- Workplace programming: headcount to space program, occupancy calculator
- Sustainability: EPD research, GWP comparison, LEED eligibility, embodied carbon
- Materials research: product search, spec extraction from PDFs/URLs, alternatives
- FF&E: schedules from messy data, room packages, SIF export/import
- Specifications: CSI outline specs from materials lists
- Presentations: HTML slide decks, colour palettes
When Not to Use
- For software architecture decisions — use
renaissance-architecture or human-architect-mindset
- For general UI/UX design — use
ui-ux-pro-max-skill or the bencium designers
- For 3D modelling/rendering — use
blender
- For geospatial GIS analysis — use
qgis (complementary for site data)
- For game world generation — use
terracraft

1---2name: architecture-studio3description: AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) studio for building and site work. Use when designing a building, planning or assessing a site, running NYC zoning or property due diligence, programming workplace space from headcount, comparing material sustainability (EPD/embodied carbon), building FF&E schedules, or writing CSI specifications — the physical-building AEC domain, not software architecture or UI design.
