cwicr-location-factor

cwicr-location-factor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. It costs 30 tokens per session (3,713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that adjusts CWICR cost estimates for location, including regional labor rates, material prices, equipment costs, and market conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make regional estimates, compare project locations, and normalize costs across areas.
Why use it?
It accounts for the fact that the same construction work can cost different amounts in different places.

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-location-factor 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 1mo 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 Location Factor

Business Case

Problem Statement

Construction costs vary by location:

  • Labor rates differ by region
  • Material prices vary geographically
  • Market conditions affect costs
  • Remote locations have premiums

Solution

Apply location-based cost factors to CWICR estimates, adjusting for regional differences in labor, materials, and overall market conditions.

Business Value

  • Regional accuracy - Location-specific estimates
  • Market awareness - Current conditions
  • Comparison support - Normalize across locations
  • Planning - Multi-location projects
