Track construction defects with Claude without losing open actions

1. Download the native pack

Keep the complete ZIP without extracting it. If already installed and enabled, skip to step 3.

Download the ZIP pack

2. Install and enable in Claude

In Customize > Skills, use + > Create skill > Upload a skill to import the ZIP, then enable it. Check code execution and file creation. Attaching Markdown to a chat does not install a skill.

3. Prepare the inputs

Attach the reference register and new observations. Include ID, location, contractor, known deadline and status. A reported intervention does not establish clearance.

4. Request the file and its assumptions

Request an .xlsx with detail, summary and trade breakdown sheets. Preserve IDs and explain status changes. Review any template warranty dates against the project record.

A request to try

Use my installed suivi-reserves skill. Create an Excel register for this fictional example: R01, hall paint needs repair, contractor and deadline unknown; R02, loose office handle, intervention reported but not checked. Status date: 14 September 2026. Keep both issues open without inventing clearance dates. Deliver the .xlsx and missing information.

5. Check the result

  • Trace each ID to its source.
  • Check status, dates and inspection evidence before clearance.
  • Recalculate the Excel summary and reconcile counts with detail.
