Claude Code studio for architects, designers, and AEC professionals — 41 skills and 7 agents covering NYC due diligence, site planning, zoning analysis, programming, CSI specifications, sustainability (EPDs), FF&E and materials research, presentations, project dossiers, and a guided learning course. Type /studio to route any task, or /skills for the full menu.
Agents are autonomous specialists that orchestrate multiple skills to complete a complex task. Unlike skills (single-purpose, invoked directly), agents assess the situation, choose a path, and exercise judgment.
Creative director for deliverables. Builds presentation decks, creates color palettes, resizes imagery, and QAs outputs for visual consistency. Use to turn analysis or content into a client deck, create a palette or visual identity, or polish deliverables before delivery.
FF&E designer and schedule manager. Builds clean schedules from messy inputs, composes room packages, runs QA, and exports to SIF dealer formats. Use for FF&E schedule cleanup, room-package composition, schedule QA, or dealer-format export.
NYC property and zoning specialist. Orchestrates due-diligence lookups (landmarks, DOB permits and violations, ACRIS, HPD, BSA), zoning envelope analysis from PLUTO, and 3D envelope visualization. Use for any NYC address question about zoning, FAR, buildable envelope, permits, violations, ownership, or full property due diligence. NYC only.
FF&E research specialist. Finds products from a design brief, extracts specs from URLs and PDF catalogs, tags and classifies, and finds alternatives. Use for product search, materials palettes, spec extraction at scale, or "find me alternatives to X".
Create harmonious color palettes from descriptions, moods, or images — outputs a self-contained HTML file with swatches, hex/RGB/HSL codes, contrast ratios, and example pairings. Use when the user asks for a color palette, color scheme, or brand colors ("generate a palette for...", "colors that match this image").
Convert a CSV or Excel FF&E product list to SIF (Standard Interchange Format) for dealer and procurement systems. Use when the user asks to "convert to SIF", export a schedule for a dealer, or produce a .sif file from a spreadsheet. For the reverse direction use /sif-to-csv.
Capture a project decision as an ADR-style record in decisions/NNNN-slug.md — context, options considered, the call, consequences, status. Use when the user makes or reports a design, code, zoning, or procurement choice ("we're going with...", "the client decided..."), when an analysis surfaces options that force a choice, or to supersede an earlier decision. Records reasoning — current facts live in PROJECT.md via /project-dossier.
Demographics and market site analysis — population, income, age, housing market, and employment data from an address. Use when the user asks who lives near a site, requests census or market data, or says "run a demographics analysis" for an address.
Climate and environmental site analysis — temperature, precipitation, wind, sun angles, flood zones, seismic risk, soil, and topography from an address. Use when the user asks about site climate, sun path, flood or seismic risk, or says "run an environmental analysis" for an address.
