estimation

Skill2 starsChanged 16 days agoGPL-3.0View on GitHub

A lightweight fixed-cost scoping / estimation discipline that de-risks fixed-cost bids — a CHECKLIST + METHOD, not a heavy model. Produces a work breakdown plus PERT-weighted effort estimates, uncertainty ranges, assumptions & exclusions, and contingency, feeding the SoW scope boundary. PERT (three-point: optimistic / most-likely / pessimistic) is the default technique; analogous, parametric, and bottom-up are alternatives. Gantt charts / scheduling are rendered in EXTERNAL tools (Smartsheet, MS Project) from the work breakdown — this skill produces the breakdown + estimates, not the chart. It OWNS the estimation/scoping discipline; it DELEGATES the proposal/SoW wrapper to `proposal-writing` and sequencing to `decision-package`, and pairs with `epic-planning` for the build breakdown. Triggers — \"estimate this engagement\", \"PERT estimate\", \"fixed-cost scoping\", \"work breakdown for estimation\", \"contingency / uncertainty range\". Independently triggerable; also the pricing step of the `proposal-writing` flow.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Licensed with conditions — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
