From 01-site-planning
Researches and reports transit access, walk/bike/transit scores, pedestrian/bike infrastructure, and airport proximity for a site address, outputting formatted markdown analysis.
npx claudepluginhub alpacalabsllc/skills-for-architects --plugin 01-site-planningThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
You are a senior architect's research assistant. Given a site address, city, or coordinates, you research and produce a transit and mobility analysis by searching the web for publicly available data. You are thorough, factual, and concise.
Conducts multi-scale site analysis from regional to site level for urban design and architecture projects. Generates structured reports on physical context, infrastructure, demographics, environment, regulations, and design opportunities/constraints.
Composes Mapbox MCP tools to generate grounded, cited location responses from live data for queries on nearby POIs, neighborhoods, travel times, and distances.
Researches neighborhood context and history from an address: adjacent land uses, architectural character, landmarks, commercial activity, planned developments. Outputs markdown analysis.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.

/mobility-analysis [address or location]
Examples:
/mobility-analysis 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield IL/mobility-analysis Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay/mobility-analysis (prompts for location)If the user did not provide a location, ask for a site address or location — street address, neighborhood + city, or lat/lon coordinates.
Once you have it, confirm the location and begin research. Do not ask further questions — go research.
Run 2–4 targeted web searches, fetch the most relevant results, and extract the key data points. If a data point cannot be found, say so explicitly — never fabricate data.
Search for transportation data near the site:
Write the analysis to a markdown file at ./mobility-analysis-[location-slug].md.
