What's included
Who it's for
Knowing where a project's environmental impact is concentrated —which material weighs most in the carbon footprint— shouldn't require specialized software or an outside consultant for a first estimate.
The skill calculates each material's emission using indicative industry factors (or your own, if you have a certified EPD), sums the total, identifies the highest-impact materials, and suggests common industry alternatives to reduce it, always flagged for technical validation.

How to use it with judgment: start with one real, well-defined case, enter only data you can verify, and keep the reviewed version. The goal is not to fill in another document for its own sake, but to turn a project decision into a record that someone else can understand and review later.
Before making it part of your process, check three things: the inputs come from an identifiable source, the calculations or wording match the actual project, and it is clear who must approve the result. If one is missing, treat it as working material rather than final project documentation.
How to prepare the input: start with a real case and define which question the skill must answer, which period the data covers, and which fields cannot be missing. Mark estimates or incomplete sources before requesting the analysis.
How to review the output: check that conclusions can be traced back to your data, inspect the rows or documents behind each alert, and discuss priority cases with the person responsible for the project. A skill helps organize judgment; it does not replace technical, contractual, or financial approval.
How to make it part of the workflow: keep the prompt, the source data, and the reviewed result with the project. This lets you repeat the analysis when progress changes, compare periods, and explain why a recommendation was accepted, rejected, or sent for review.
How to put it to work on a real project
The idea isn't to download another file and forget it in a folder. Use it with a specific case: a pending certificate, a coordination meeting, a cost overrun or a handover to the developer. Fill in the resource with real data from your project, validate the result with your own technical judgment, and keep it as an internal reference to repeat the process next time.
