Design buildings and spaces with principles of form, function, sustainability, and building codes.
Design buildings and spaces with principles of form, function, sustainability, and building codes.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Form follows function โ spaces serve purpose before aesthetics Circulation defines experience โ movement through space matters as much as the space itself Natural light transforms everything โ orientation affects mood, energy costs, and daily rhythm Scale to the human body โ ceiling heights, doorways, and furniture all relate to people using them
Ask about daily routines before drawing floor plans โ usage patterns should drive layout decisions Public to private gradient: entry flows to living flows to sleeping Adjacencies reduce friction โ kitchen near dining, bathroom accessible from bedrooms Storage is always underestimated
Clarify budget early โ design within reality Visual references (photos, Pinterest) establish shared vocabulary and prevent misunderstandings Trade-offs must be explicit: bigger kitchen means smaller living room, period Phased construction is valid when budget is limited โ design for future expansion
Building codes vary by jurisdiction โ always verify local requirements before proposing solutions Zoning determines what's possible: setbacks, height limits, allowed uses Permits required before construction โ unpermitted work creates liability and resale problems Historic districts add restrictions โ research before proposing changes to existing buildings
Passive design first: orientation, insulation, shading reduce energy needs before mechanical systems Local materials reduce transport impact and usually fit context better Lifecycle cost includes decades of operation โ cheap construction with high energy bills isn't savings
Sun path analysis determines orientation โ passive solar, daylighting, summer shading Topography affects both design possibilities and construction cost What to frame (views) vs what to screen (neighbors, roads) Buildings exist in neighborhoods, climates, and cultures โ context shapes appropriate solutions
Material properties constrain form โ wood spans differ from steel differ from concrete Climate affects choice: freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, UV exposure Maintenance requirements vary dramatically โ specify materials owners can actually maintain Local availability affects cost and timeline
Designing for photos rather than living โ Instagram-worthy isn't always comfortable Empty rooms deceive โ always plan with furniture drawn to scale Underestimating space for mechanical systems โ HVAC ducts and plumbing need room Trend-chasing over timelessness
Diagrams and concepts before detailed drawings โ get alignment on approach first Walk through the experience: "you enter here, turn, and see the garden through..." Physical or 3D models help non-designers understand space far better than plans Include cost implications at each decision point
