In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for effort estimates, cost models, feasibility reviews, SWOT analysis, presales proposals, resource planning, and milestone schedules.
Why use it?
It structures uncertain project estimates by considering effort, cost, risks, phases, resources, and delivery milestones.

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

skill-estimation 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 10d 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.

Skill: AL Project Estimation

Purpose

Estimate AL/Business Central projects: complexity scoring, PERT 3-point estimation, SWOT/DAFO risk analysis, cost breakdown by phase, resource allocation, and structured presales documentation.

When to Load

This skill should be loaded when:

  • A new BC/AL project needs time and cost estimation
  • A feasibility assessment or SWOT analysis is required before commitment
  • A presales proposal or technical assessment document is being created
  • Resource allocation and team composition need to be defined
  • A project plan with milestones and payment schedule is needed

Core Patterns

Pattern 1: Intake Questions (Mandatory)

Before any estimation, gather these parameters:

## Project Intake — Required Information

### 1. Project Identity
- Project name (will be used for folder structure)
- Brief description: What problem does it solve?

### 2. Cost Parameters (MANDATORY)
- Hourly rate (e.g., €75/hour, $100/hour)
- Currency (EUR, USD, GBP)
- Contingency buffer: Yes/No (default 15-20%)
- Risk buffer: Low (10%), Medium (20%), High (30%)

### 3. Technical Context
- Target BC version: SaaS, On-Premise, or both?
- Target delivery date
- Existing codebase? (repository URL or workspace path)
- Reference repositories for similar functionality?

### 4. Team (optional)
- Available developers: Junior, Mid, Senior?
- BC experience level: New, Experienced, Expert?

PAUSE — do NOT proceed without cost parameters. Estimation without rates is meaningless.

Pattern 2: Complexity Scoring

Score each dimension 1-10 to derive overall project complexity:

## Complexity Assessment

| Dimension | Score (1-10) | Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Data Model | /10 | Tables, relations, migration needs |
| Business Logic | /10 | Codeunits, validations, calculations |
| UI Complexity | /10 | Pages, customizations, RoleCenter |
| Integrations | /10 | External APIs, events, webhooks |
| Reporting | /10 | Reports, queries, analytics |
| Security | /10 | Permissions, data sensitivity, audit |
| Testing | /10 | Test coverage needed, edge cases |
| Migration/Upgrade | /10 | Data migration, version compatibility |

**Overall Complexity**: (sum / 80) × 10 = X/10
