cwicr-equipment-planner

cwicr-equipment-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. It costs 32 tokens per session (3,624 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planner for construction equipment based on CWICR norms, which are standard expectations for equipment use. It calculates required hours, schedules usage, measures utilisation, and compares renting with buying.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan equipment requirements and availability for construction work, estimate operating time, and compare rental and purchase options.
Why use it?
It brings equipment needs, timing, utilisation, and ownership costs into one planning process. This helps address idle equipment and uncertain rent-or-buy decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cwicr-equipment-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CWICR Equipment Planner

Business Case

Problem Statement

Equipment is a major cost driver:

  • What equipment is needed?
  • For how long?
  • Rent or buy?
  • How to optimize utilization?

Solution

Equipment planning using CWICR equipment norms to calculate requirements, schedule usage, and analyze rental vs purchase decisions.

Business Value

  • Accurate requirements - Based on validated norms
  • Optimized utilization - Reduce idle time
  • Cost analysis - Rent vs buy decisions
  • Scheduling - Equipment availability planning

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
