cwicr-rate-updater

cwicr-rate-updater is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. It costs 33 tokens per session (3,474 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for updating CWICR rates for labour, materials, equipment, and subcontracting. It can apply market prices, inflation indexes, regional factors, or specified changes while keeping a history of rate changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update selected resources or categories, apply fixed or percentage adjustments, connect to price APIs, and maintain rate records.
Why use it?
It addresses the problem of cost rates becoming outdated as prices, wages, equipment costs, and regional conditions change. The history helps show how rates were changed over time.

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-rate-updater 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 12d 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 Rate Updater

Business Case

Problem Statement

Resource rates become outdated:

  • Material prices fluctuate with market
  • Labor rates change annually
  • Equipment costs vary by region
  • Historical rates need adjustment

Solution

Systematic rate updates integrating market data, inflation indices, and regional factors while maintaining audit trail.

Business Value

  • Accuracy - Current market pricing
  • Flexibility - Update specific resources or categories
  • Audit trail - Track rate changes over time
  • Automation - Integrate with price APIs

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.
