rehab-estimator

rehab-estimator is a skill for Claude Code from DataSift-Ty-Personal/SiftStack. It costs 110 tokens per session (13,524 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A renovation-cost estimator for investment properties that creates itemized budgets for a full flip renovation and a lighter wholetail renovation. Wholetail means making limited improvements before selling, rather than fully remodeling.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for pricing renovation line items, comparing full-rehab and wholetail plans, using the specified local pricing data, and generating an Excel workbook.
Why use it?
It helps investors estimate repair spending using local labor and material prices when judging whether a property deal works.

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

rehab-estimator 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_rehab_excel.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 937 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rehab Cost Estimator

Produces professional, itemized renovation cost estimates for investment properties. Two exit strategies analyzed side-by-side: Full Rehab (investor flip to retail) and Wholetail (light cosmetic for quick sale to another investor or retail-lite buyer).

All pricing is calibrated to the local market where the property sits — not national averages.

Single-Estimate Approach

This skill produces ONE cost estimate per line item — not a Low/Mid/High range. The estimate targets the low-to-mid range of real-world contractor pricing (roughly the 35th percentile between Low and Mid reference prices in rehab-categories.md). This keeps estimates conservative and closer to what actual contractor bids come back at, based on real deal calibration data showing that Low/Mid/High ranges led to over-estimation. When in doubt, lean toward the lower end — real contractors tend to come in closer to low than mid on most line items.

When to Read Reference Files

This skill uses progressive disclosure. Read these files at the specific steps indicated:

File When to Read What It Contains
references/real-deal-calibration.md Step 2 (FIRST — before scoping) CRITICAL: Verified unit prices from a real contractor SOW, scoping rules, and the 60-65% Rule sanity check. This file overrides all other pricing when there's a conflict.
references/rehab-categories.md Step 3 (Scope of Work) Complete line-item categories with calibrated $/unit for every repair item
references/local-pricing-guide.md Step 4 (Local Pricing) How to research and apply local labor/material adjustments by market
references/finish-tiers.md Step 3 (Scope of Work) Defines 4 finish tiers (Minimum Viable, Builder Grade, Mid-Range Upgrade, Premium/Custom) with material specs
references/wholetail-vs-rehab.md Step 3 (Scope of Work) Exactly which items differ between wholetail and full rehab scopes
data/master_material_list_37914.csv Steps 3-4, when the property is in Knoxville / Knox County / Blount County, TN LOCKED master material list: exact Home Depot prices (Budget/Standard/Upgrade grades) for 88 materials + 12 allowances, local to zip 37914. The material source for the vast majority of items on Knox-market deals.
scripts/generate_rehab_excel.py Step 6 (Deliverables) Generates the Excel workbook with all sheets

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
