Change Order & Scope-Creep Documenter
Mid-job additions get a verbal 'sure, no problem' and then vanish — unbilled, undocumented, and disputed later.
You get
A written change-order draft the moment scope changes: what changed, what it costs, customer sign-off text.
- Who it's for
- Any trade where the job that was quoted isn't the job that gets done.
- When to use it
- The same hour a customer asks for 'one more thing.'
- What it needs
- What the customer asked to add or change
- Price and schedule impact (your numbers)
- Your Business Profile
- What it produces
- A change-order message with scope, price, and schedule impact, ready to send for confirmation.
- Files you receive
- An installable Claude skill package (change-order-and-scope-creep-documenter.zip) containing the skill instructions (SKILL.md) and a worked example, ready for Claude's Upload-a-skill flow.
- Time to first result
- Recovers billable work that used to evaporate
The owner says
"While we're here she wants the hallway painted too. It's about $400 and half a day."
It hands back
A friendly change-order text confirming the hallway addition at $400 and the revised finish day, asking for a simple 'yes' before the crew starts it.
Illustrative example — not a customer result.
How it works
- 1Tell it what changed and your numbers
- 2It drafts the confirmation in your voice
- 3Customer replies yes in writing
- 4The addition makes it onto the invoice
Catches what is slipping
The verbal yes that would have become a billing dispute.

Proposal & Quote Writer
Proposals are slow and inconsistent, so they go out late and look different every time.
You get
A clean, professional proposal draft built from your scope, pricing, and terms.
Example: A fencing contractor writing a proposal with options
See how it worksPost-Job Closeout
Jobs end but never close: the final walkthrough note, invoice trigger, review ask, and warranty record scatter or never happen.
You get
One closeout pass per job: completion summary, invoice-ready details, review request draft, and a warranty/maintenance note for the file.
Example: A painting contractor finishing three jobs a week
